10 Romantic Comedies on Netflix #StreamTeam

**Full Disclosure: As a member of the Stream Team, I was provided a Netflix subscription and promotional items. All opinions are my own.

Romantic comedies have always been my favorite kind of movie. But because my husband is not romantic (in any sense of the word), I find joy in watching on-screen characters develop their blossoming relationships. Romantic comedies make me feel good for the fictional people I see in them!

With Valentine’s Day approaching, I’ve been watching more than my fair share of romantic comedies on Netflix! There are so many good choices but I’ve carefully whittled my long list to only 10 of my favorites.

10 Romantic Comedies on Netflix:

1. The Other Sister
   Carla Tate has never been like her sisters. Sent at a young age to a school for children with intellectual impairments, a maturing Carla returns to her family home in San Francisco.

2. Maid in Manhattan
   The story of a single mother, Marisa, born and bred in the boroughs of New York City, who works as a maid in a first-class Manhattan hotel. By a twist of fate and mistaken identity, Marisa meets Christopher Marshall, heir to a political dynasty, who believes that she is a guest at the hotel. Fate steps in and throws the pair together for a magical night of romance. When Marisa’s true identity is revealed, the two find that they are worlds apart.
3. 50 First Dates

4. Leap Year
   When yet another anniversary passes without a marriage proposal, Anna decides to take action. Aware of a Celtic tradition that allows women to pop the question on Feb. 29, she plans to follow her boyfriend to Dublin and ask him to marry her. Fate has other plans, however, and Anna winds up on the other side of the Emerald Isle with handsome, but surly, Declan — an Irishman who may just lead Anna down the road to true love.
5. The Prince & Me
   Paige Morgan is a focused premed student who becomes intrigued by Eddie, a wealthy Danish student. Despite Eddie’s initially boorish behavior, Paige falls for him, only to discover that his father and mother are the king and queen of Denmark, and he is heir apparent to the throne.
