There’s something comforting about a romantic comedy. The knowledge that two beautiful people will work through their issues and find a forever kind of love (probably… we don’t normally get a glimpse of what happens after the romantic confession) is a cinematic electric blanket, enveloping its viewers in the warm embrace of meet-cutes and quirky misunderstandings.

Romantic comedies may offer a world that is nearly as fantastical as ones with dragons or aliens, but like most movies, there is usually a grain of truth. Everyone wants to find someone who loves them, warts and all, and while your love story might not have the sheen of perfection that comes with giant apartments and flawless hair, the emotional stakes ring true. The next time you’re either looking to cuddle up with your significant other for a movie night or want to swoon over the romantic ideal, check out these romcoms streaming on Netflix. You just might find a new favorite.

10. Definitely, Maybe (2008)

On the surface, Definitely, Maybe looks like a paint-by-numbers of rom-com cliches — opposites attracting, a precocious child, will-they-won’t-they tension — but it manages to subvert them all by showing something not often seen in the genre: what happens when a romance ends. Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds) tries to explain to his daughter (Abigail Breslin) why his marriage imploded by telling the story of how he met her mother. By going back to the beginning of his romantic past, Will realizes that he may have another shot at something he thought that he lost. And yet in the midst of all these second chances at true love, Definitely, Maybe takes time to remind viewers that just because a love story doesn’t end in happily ever after doesn’t mean that it wasn’t real or worthwhile. Sometimes things just don’t work out, and that’s okay.

9. How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days (2003)

For the early aughts, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson were synonymous with romantic comedy. Whether they were finding love together or with others, it was hard to find a silly love story without them. However, they were best together, and How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days is easily the height of their comedic courtship onscreen. When a journalist looking for her big break (Hudson) and an advertising guy trying to nab a big account (McConaughey) get caught up in a bet that they can romantically destroy the other, they surprise themselves by actually falling for the other person. Sure, they do horrible things to each other, but all is forgiven by the time the credits roll. Mock the premise all you want, but McConaughey and Hudson have undeniable chemistry.

8. The Incredible Jessica James (2017)

Unfortunately, romantic comedies are no longer a regular part of the movie release landscape, for a variety of reasons, from changing sensibilities to changing economics. Romcoms need a readjustment, however, not an eradication. The Incredible Jessica James is an excellent example of a new empowered sensibility that could help save romcoms. Jessica James (Jessica Williams) is struggling to make it as a writer in NYC while also dealing with a painful breakup. While she does open herself up for a new relationship with an older man (Chris O’Dowd), it feels more like Jessica finding yet another piece of herself instead of being the end all and be all of her happiness. Williams has charm to spare in the role, and she and O’Dowd play well off of each other. It may look a little different than the glossy romcoms of decades past, but The Incredible Jessica James captures romance in the millennial age and the difficulties that come along with that.

7. Love Actually (2003)

Love Actually is easily the most controversial choice on this list. Debate rages all over the internet about whether this film is a classic or an abomination, and nearly everyone has an opinion about the Christmas romance. Some storylines work better than others (the less said about the trip to America the better), but the ones that do hum along with heart and wit. Not only is Love Actually a who’s who of British cinema (Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, and Alan Rickman to name just a few), but is the perfect cream puff of a movie whether its the holiday season or not. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll wish Colin Firth would learn Portuguese for you.

6. 13 Going On 30 (2004)

While Jennifer Garner may have made a name for herself playing a badass spy on Alias, she also proved that she can handle a fun romance with 13 Going On 30. The story of a teenager who wakes up in the body of her thirty-year-old future self has a bit more magical realism than anything else on this list, but Garner manages to pull it off with a believable sense of reality. When she reunites with her estranged childhood best friend (Mark Ruffalo), things get almost unbearably adorable as they work together to save her job as well as her abandoned sense of morality. With ’80s references, frenemies, and dance numbers to spare, 13 Going On 30 is almost impossible to resist.

5. While You Were Sleeping (1995)

While You Were Sleeping has a premise that could just as easily work for a thriller: a lonely young woman saves her unrequited crush from death and pretends to be his fiancée when he ends up in a coma, working her way into the lives of his family. However, the sheer charm of Sandra Bullock combined with her easy chemistry with Bill Pullman and a terrific supporting cast instead makes this a classic. Bullock has long been a member of the ranks of America’s Sweethearts, and it’s never more apparent why than in While You Were Sleeping. There is a sadness to her Lucy that makes it impossible not to root for her happiness, even if she makes a few questionable decisions along the way. Plus, wacky families are a dime a dozen in romcoms, but the Callahan family’s debates about everything and nothing will feel hilariously real. Yes, the mashed potatoes are so creamy.

4. Breakfast At Tiffany’s (1961)

There’s a reason why Audrey Hepburn is an institution, and Breakfast At Tiffany makes this clear. The beloved actress is equal parts charming and disarming as socialite Holly Golightly, a woman who is not what she seems. As she traipses through New York City with blocked writer Paul Varjak (George Peppard), what starts out as a series of escapades turns into a sometimes sad look at two broken people looking for companionship in a lonely city. While the racial politics are extremely outdated (Mickey Rooney should never, ever have played Mr. Yunioshi), the idea of whether or not two people can belong to each other without losing themselves still rings true. If you ever find yourself with a case of the Mean Reds, Breakfast At Tiffany’s is your cure.

3. Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)/ Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016)

If you ever feel like your romcom heroines are a little too put together or impossibly accomplished, Bridget Jones’s Diary is the movie for you. As a harried singleton who is trying to improve her life and find a sensible boyfriend, Renee Zellweger’s Bridget fumbles her way through life and love in the same way that many find themselves doing. We’re all looking for someone who likes us “just the way we are” and have dated a few “emotional f*ckwits” along the way. Also, while Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason should fade into obscurity, Bridget Jones’s Baby is the rare romantic sequel that actually hits all the right notes. Bridget is still the lovable dork that audiences fall in love with, but she also undergoes enough change for the better that you believe that she really is growing up. Toss in an impossibly wonderful Colin Firth (again) and you have a recipe for romantic greatness.

2. Strictly Ballroom (1992)

Sometimes a movie comes your way that is so full of sparkling life that it is impossible to resist. Strictly Ballroom is one of those movies. An Australian gem that kicked off Baz Luhrmann’s directing career, Strictly Ballroom is a whirlwind of sequins and the push and pull of unlikely lovers. When a famed dancer Scott (Paul Mercurio) is dumped by his partner, he teams up with clumsy beginner Fran (Tara Morice) in order to still compete in the Pan-Pacific Championship. As she blossoms into a truly magnificent ballroom star, Fran also undergoes a personal transformation, bringing to life one of the most charming ugly duckling tales ever put on screen. Not only does Scott fall in love with her, but you will too.

1. Barefoot In The Park (1967)

A romantic comedy is only as good as its leads, and you just don’t get better than Jane Fonda and Robert Redford. When Paul (Redford) and Corie (Fonda) get married on a romantic whim, real life hits them like a ton of bricks. Once they leave the four walls of the honeymoon suite, pesky things like a terrible apartment, job stress, and finding out that they’re quite different from each other puts a major strain on their relationship. However, the comical bickering and sexual tension between the two is so crackling that there is no doubt that these crazy kids will work things out somehow. Written by Neil Simon, Barefoot In The Park is a peek into a New York that no longer exists (or may never have existed in the first place), but it has a timeless appeal for any and all romantics.
