Imagine a home improvement show. Take that home improvement show and make it a scripted Bachelor spin-off. Now, take that home improvement show-turned-scripted Bachelor spin-off and set it in New Zealand. Finally, sprinkle in some puns and you’ve got… Falling Inn Love! 

Starring Christina Milian and Adam Demos, this delightfully delirious romp into renovation romance is the perfect comfort movie for a cozy afternoon on the couch. Marvel at the pretty settings, lust after the linen shirts, stare at the goat named Gilbert.

Love is a bit all over the place — but, so is its namesake. 

Gillian Jacobs and Paul Rust star as Mickey Dobbs and Gus Cruikshank, two Angelenos who serendipitously meet at a gas station and fall hopelessly, madly in… something. Over the series’ brief three seasons, viewers are treated to the ups, downs, and sideways of finding the one. Come for the promise of Happily Ever After, stay for everything that isn’t that.

The “friend zone” has been the subject of many a rom-com, but Leslye Headland’s Sleeping with Other People brings a certain sparkle others just don’t. 

Maybe it’s the undeniable chemistry between leads Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis. Maybe it’s the spectacular supporting cast, including Jason Mantzoukas, Andrea Savage, Adam Scott, and Natasha Lyonne. Maybe it’s the snappy dialogue and generous use of the word “mousetrap.” Regardless, commit to an evening with this movie and you won’t be disappointed.

Somewhere between Hot Tub Time Machine and Some Kind of Wonderful, When We First Met imagines the perfect first date over and over and over again. 

Adam DeVine and Alexandra Daddario star as one couple that just couldn’t get the timing right, with supporting performances from Robbie Amell and Shelley Hennig. This movie’s saccharine tone and overdone premise shouldn’t work, and yet they do. It’s … fate?

Adapted from the musical of the same name, Been So Long offers a dreamy look at a chance encounter between two people in desperate need of a break from reality.

With electric interactions between stars Michaela Coel and Arinzé Kene, this poppy romance will have you from the moment the first words are sung — and won’t let go until the very last verse.

Baby Cobra fans were long overdue for a scripted Ali Wong fantasy, and Always Be My Maybe really, really delivered. Wong and Randall Park make for a delightful will-they-won’t-they, complete with love triangles, awkward childhood flashbacks, Keanu Reeves in the role he worn born to play, and authentic representations of Asian-American experience.

To find true love, you’ve first got to find yourself.

Featuring heartbreaking performances from Daniel Doheny, Antonio Marziale, and Madeline Weinstein, Alex Strangelove is a coming-of-age story designed to make your palms sweat. A poignant and touching look at coming out, this world is filled with good people doing good things that will make any viewer need a handhold.

Sex Education had us from the moment its lead pretended to masturbate. 

There’s plenty to love about this perfectly cast teenage dramedy. But in light of the events of Season 2, nothing feels more pressing than the relationship between Otis (Asa Butterfield) and Maeve (Emma Mackey) — except maybe Eric’s (Ncuti Gatwa) love triangle. At the heart of every great story is a great romance, and Sex Education has more than its fair share.

Look, it’s Grease. 

You know, Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta, shiny car, big musical numbers, something about a beauty school and its faltering retention rates — Grease. Do you love it? Watch it! Do you hate it? Watch it! Do you not feel strongly about it at all? Invite it to the televised school dance to make another movie jealous, and then watch it! Grease!

Joe Swanberg’s Easy covers a lot of ground, but the more romantic episodes definitely stand out. 

An intimate anthology examining relationships in Chicago, this series weaves together so many genuine displays of emotion it can be hard to keep your heart in-check. Not all the characters fall in love, but you’ll absolutely fall in love with all the characters. Start anywhere during any of the three seasons, and see where it gets you. (Tears. Tears is where it gets you.)

Monuments should be erected in honor of this television masterpiece, but a spot on this list will have to do for now. 

With four spectacular seasons of musical-infused madness, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is as much a gooey rom-com as it is a fearless portrait of self-love. Whether you’re single, attached, or moving to West Covina for Josh from camp, Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom) and her gaggle of lovable pals will welcome you with open jazz hands. “Weeeest Coviiiinnaaaaa—-“

An enticing combination of Devil Wears Prada and Jim and Pam’s The Office romance, Set It Up makes workplace love almost seem like a good idea. 

Starring Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell as two overworked assistants intent on making their bosses fall in love, this breezy comedy delivers on laughs and butterflies in equal measures. Plus, Taye Diggs and Lucy Liu hook up and it is… very, very appealing. You’re welcome.

Based on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s beloved graphic novels, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World isn’t your traditional romantic comedy, and that’s precisely what makes it so special. 

When Scott (Michael Cera) falls in love with the mysterious Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), he must battle for her affection in video game-style levels with her “Seven Evil Exes” serving as bosses. You’ve got Chris Evans as a douchebag on a skateboard, Mae Whitman as the worst kind of ex-girlfriend, Anna Kendrick as the annoying younger sister, the list goes on and on.

If you’ve reading this list, there’s just no way you haven’t seen To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. But with its sequel P.S. I Still Love You out Feb. 12, now is the time for a rewatch.

Bask in the chemistry of Lana Donor and Noah Centineo. Delight in the drinkable yogurt representation. Consider why you never dressed this well in school. Then, send out your letters!

Big Mouth‘s Valentine’s Day special is a lot of things, but a “rom-com” isn’t one of them. 

Still, when you’re in the mood for some melt-in-your-mouth, cover-your-eyes, run-away-screaming awkwardness, this show is your best best. You won’t get that grande finale kiss or heartwarming profession of love, but you will watch romances so ill-fated you’ll laugh until you cry. And in “the time of the Valen,” that’s pretty much the same deal.
