The 10 best romantic comedies on Netflix in 2023
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you might find yourself in the mood for a romantic comedy movie night. Here are 10 of the best.
Always Be My Maybe
This 2019 rom-com directed by Nahnatchka Khan stars Ali Wong and Randall Park as childhood friends who reconnect as adults. As they try to navigate their feelings for each other while balancing successful careers, it becomes clear that they’re more than just a backup plan for each other. There’s also a can’t-miss scene with a very out-of-character Keanu Reeves.
Jerry Maguire
This 1996 movie starring the queen of romantic comedies, Renée Zellweger, alongside Tom Cruise is famous for likes like, “Show me the money!” and “You had me at hello.” When sports agent Jerry Maguire gets fired from his job thanks to a moral epiphany, he starts his own agency with a single client, falls in love and learns what “success” really means.
Notting Hill

She’s Gotta Have It
Spike Lee’s 1986 romantic comedy follows a Brooklyn-based artist in her mid-20s who’s juggling her independence and three relationships. This coming-of-age movie explores themes of gender, race and sexuality. If you can’t get enough, check out the Netflix series of the same name which was adapted for TV in 2017.
Grease

Along Came Polly

Wedding Crashers
