Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and we all know what that means – it’s time to binge watch our favourite romantic comedies.
Whether you’re in the mood for a comedy to watch with your partner, or a feel-good movie to watch on your own, there’s a romantic comedy for every occasion.
From To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before to Love Actually, let’s take a look at some of the best romantic comedies available to stream on Netflix and Stan right now.
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before
Where can I watch it? Netflix
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before is a Netflix original movie based on the 2014 young adult novel of the same name.
In case you haven't seen it yet, the movie is an incredibly watchable rom-com filled with all of the high school cliches and movie montages we've come to expect from teen romance movies.
The movie follows high schooler Lara Jean Covey (Lana Condor) after her secret love letters are mailed out to her crushes against her will.
The movie also features Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo) – a.k.a the internet's boyfriend.

The sequel to the movie, To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, was released on Netflix on February 12, making it the perfect Valentine's Day binge.
He's Just Not That Into You
Where can I watch it? Stan
He's Just Not That Into You is yet another romantic comedy based on a book.
The movie, which features Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Aniston to name a few, looks at the challenges of reading or misreading human behaviour – particularly in relationships and dating.
Relatable, right?
Always Be My Maybe
Where can I watch it? Netflix
Always Be My Maybe is the Netflix original that's been dubbed the modern day When Harry Met Sally.
The film, starring Ali Wong as Sasha and Randall Park as Marcus, follows two childhood friends and one-time college lovers who reconnect later in life.
As their feelings for each other return and grow after meeting again as adults, the pair come across a number of obstacles.
One of those obstacles? KEANU. REEVES.
The much-loved actor famously played himself in the hilarious rom-com. (Well, a heightened caricature of himself at least...)
Love Actually
Where can I watch it? Stan
OK.
We know what you're going to say.
Yes, Love Actually is technically a Christmas movie. No, we're not going to stop watching it outside of December.
We’ve watched it every year since its 2003 release, sometimes more than once, sometimes… multiple times, but even after all this time, it's still SO GOOD.
Featuring an incredible ensemble cast and plenty of hilarious moments, Love Actually is available to watch on Stan all year round. (Seriously, get on it.)

Someone Great
Where can I watch it? Netflix
Someone Great, starring Jane the Virgin’s Gina Rodriguez and Straight Outta Compton’s Lakeith Stanfield, tackles love, loss and female friendship.
Here's a quick rundown of the plot:
When Jenny (Gina Rodriguez) is offered her dream job as a music journalist in San Francisco, her boyfriend of nine years ends their relationship.
Before leaving New York City for her new job, Jenny enjoys one last adventure with her two best friends, as she attempts to reconnect with who she was before the relationship that defined much of her twenties.
Although Someone Great is technically a bit of a break up movie, it's definitely a much watch.
How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Where can I watch it? Stan
Matthew. McConaughey.
Do we need to say anything else?
How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days follows Angie Anderson (Kate Hudson), who's assigned to write an article on, you guessed it, how to lose a guy in 10 days.
Funnily enough, when Angie sets her sights on a man, her plan... doesn't exactly go well.
In fact, advertising executive Benjamin Barry (Matthew McConaughey) has his own plan to make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days.
Love, Rosie
Where can I watch it? Netflix
Based on Cecelia Ahern's bestselling novel, Love, Rosie, follows childhood best friends Rosie and Alex.
For years, Rosie (Lily Collins) and Alex (Sam Claflin) have wondered whether there could be something more than friendship between them.
Over the years, the pair kept getting separated – but fate just keeps bringing them back together.
Failure to Launch
Where can I watch it? Stan
Yep, we've included yet another Matthew McConaughey movie. (Sorry).
Failure to Launch follows Tripp (Matthew McConaughey) – a 35-year-old bachelor who is still living with his parents.
Frustrated with his, ahem, failure to launch, Tripp's parents hire interventionist Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker), in the hopes of changing his life.
Along the way, however, the intervention doesn't exactly goes as planned.

Top Comments
I refuse to watch anything in which Matthew McConaughey leaves his shirt on.
My recommendation - gritty thriller, starts off looking like a Tarantino bloodbath, but give it a chance, ends up more nuanced. Perfect mix of action with character development. IMO.
Giri/Haji on Netflix. Shove it in your eyeballs.
