I LOVE rom-coms. They have a way of turning your day around and brightening your mood. To celebrate romantic comedies, I created a list of the best rom-coms and where to stream them.
Here are a few of my favorite rom-coms, keep reading for the full list and streaming guides!
How to Stream the Best Rom-Coms
I've included all of the major streaming platforms: Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, Disney+, and Max. Apple TV is excluded since it doesn't have much of a rom-com selection (unless you want to pay for them).
Note: This list was created in February 2025, and the streaming of information changes constantly.
Best Romantic Comedies to Stream on Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime's rom-com, The Idea of You with Anne Hathaway is a fun watch! The Big Sick is a hilarious indie film based on a true story, with a great cast. Overboard, Funny Girl, Charade, Some Like it Hot, and His Girl Friday are all classics. Serendipity is a personal favorite.
Best Romantic Comedies to Stream on Netflix
Notting Hill is arguably the best romantic comedy. Always Be My Maybe always makes me laugh - especially the song about Keanu. About Time is an overlooked gem.
Best Romantic Comedies to Stream on Hulu
Hulu is home to modern-day classics like The Notebook, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Sweet Home Alabama, and The Proposal.
Rom-Coms to Stream on Max
While the newest installment of the Bridget Jones series is on Peacock, the first three are on Max. Home Again is an overlooked Reese Witherspoon flick, and I am in love with her darling home in the film. If you haven't seen Waitress, you need to.
Romantic Comedies on Peacock
Peacock is home to the newest Bridget Jones, plus the beloved 2005 Pride and Prejudice.
Rom-Coms to Stream on Disney+
As a Chicagoan, While You Were Sleeping has a special place in my heart. Watching Father of the Bride and The Parent Trap can make any day a bit better.
Best Rom-Coms to Stream on Paramount+
I can't count the number of times that I have seen My Best Friend's Wedding. When Harry Met Sally is another film that is often given the title of best romantic comedy.
Christmas Movies have their own list, and a BINGO game.
Do you have a favorite romantic comedy? I tried to include as many as possible, but I keep thinking of ones I missed like It's Complicated.
