Best romance movies on Netflix:

The Notebook

‘The Notebook’ is regarded as one of the best love story movies ever. The movie is an adaptation of the 1996 novel by Nicholas Sparks. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams played the role of a passionate young couple in the film.

The movie is about a couple that we see them as old, Allie Nelson and Noah Calhoun. Allie is old now and suffering from Alzheimer’s, and Noah reads to her from a notebook that tells their love story as a young couple.

‘The Notebook’ is a passionate, emotional and heart touching love story that both the lead actors have played exceptionally well.

The storyline has no uniqueness, though, but it is all the narration and the performances that make the movie worthy of watching more than once.

The Proposal

“The Proposal” is an American romantic comedy film where the plots center around two lead characters Margaret Tate, an editor-in-chief of a New York book publishing company, and Andrew Paxton, her assistant.

Margaret is facing deportation from the U.S. because her visa is expired, and she convinces Andrew to marry her temporarily.

The pseudo couple travels to Sitka, Alaska, to Andrew’s hometown to meet his family, and is it there that both grow fond of each other and fell in love amidst the hatred.

Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, both the actors are my favorites, and no matter how many times I watch the movie, it is always a pleasure.

‘The Proposal’ tells a recycling story, but with all the cheerfulness it brings onscreen through its performances, I don’t mind telling you to rewatch the romantic movie on Netflix.

Tallgirl

Netflix’s original movie “Tallgirl” is about a teenage girl, Jodi (Ava Michelle), who is struggling in her high school, being super tall. Jodi is uncomfortable with her body, and she misfit everywhere she goes because of her weird height.

Dunkleman, the best friend of Jodi, always stands up for her, and he likes her, but he never told her that. The movie is a predictable light-hearted love story that is fun to watch.

Though not the best romantic movie but a good one to watch on Netflix.

Out of Africa

I watched the 1985 classic romantic movie “Out of Africa” a couple of days back and realized the beauty of the movie. The story is loosely based on Danish author Karen Blixen’s life in Kenya and her love affair with Denys Finch Hatton.

So best is the movie that won seven Academy Awards. The movie explores Kenya beautifully, and visually it is so pleasing to watch both the characters being in love. The spirit of the film is its location and Blixen’s excellent storytelling way.

Even after a decade now in 2020, a movie like “Out of Africa” is absolutely stunning to watch.

I don’t think there is any other movie where Kenya is shown artistically beautiful.

If you haven’t yet watched the film, you shouldn’t miss it at all.

Always Be My Maybe

Netflix’s 2019 rom-com film “Always be My Maybe” is a fresh and quirky love story that is fun to watch.

Directed by Nahnatchka Khan, it is a classic tale of two childhood sweethearts Marcus (Randell Park) and Sash (Ali Wong), who grows up together but went to different paths after a stupid incident.

They reunite after years but now as adults. More than just a love story, the director wanted to narrate an Asian-American love story.

From the beginning of the movie, it did draw our attention to their upbringing, friendship, family values, and Sasha’s success in America being an immigrant.

So, I liked the film more because of its perfect blend of cultural details with humor. The cameo of Keanu Reeves adds a generous spice to the film.

Her

Wow, Spike Jonze’s “Her” is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is a sci-fi romantic drama film about an ordinary guy Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix), who is lonely, introverted and a depressed man.

He establishes a beautiful relationship with Samantha (Scarlett Johansson) and AI virtual assistant. Theodore’s interaction with his OS Samantha is interesting and has layers of emotions.

It is interesting to watch how Jonze has imagined and set the futuristic premises. A society that is highly dependent on the existence of artificial intelligence even for establishing relationships.

The movie remains engaging and sends a message about how our society will going to be soon.

The movie received numerous awards and appreciations; it won the 86th Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay.

The Kissing Booth

Netflix Original teen rom-com film “The Kissing Booth,” tells the story of two childhood best friends Elle (Joey King) and Lee (Joel Courtney), the conflict comes when Elle falls in love with Noah (Jacob Elordi) Lee’s older brother.

I like the ending of the movie where Elle and Noah bid goodbye to each other at the airport, and Elle rides back Noah’s motorcycle to embark on a new life.

The story left unsaid at the end, letting the audience to guess. With Noah gone, it is now left to Elle how she will continue living her life and relationship with Noah.

The Spanish film “Elisa & Marcela” was first premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival and shortly after that acquired by Netflix. It is a fascinating true story of a Spanish lesbian couple and their struggle.
