This Baz Luhrmann carnival of music and eye candy is the perfect romantic movie for a pop culture fan. (And who doesn’t love Ewan McGregor singing?) Where to Stream: Hulu

Emily in Paris

This frothy, fizzy story of an American in Paris takes place in the most legendarily romantic city. What’s not to love? Where to Stream: Netflix

The Time Traveler’s Wife

Based on Audrey Niffenegger’s best-selling book, this complicated love story of a couple whose lives are intertwined—even as the guy falls back and forth through time—is a sweetly sentimental choice.

This new streaming romance features J. Lo as a massive pop star (we know, it’s a stretch) who falls in love with a regular guy. Where to Stream: Peacock

A society wedding goes wonderfully awry when the bride’s charming ex arrives on the scene. (And when said charming ex is Cary Grant, you definitely can’t blame Katharine Hepburn.) Where to Stream: HBO Max
