16 Romantasy Movies You Can Stream Right Now

You smash romance and fantasy together and what do you get? If your FYP has been invaded by BookTok, you may think of some spicy novels about fairies or orcs or any number of magical creatures getting up to the kind of hijinks you blush over. But romantasy–the fun amalgamation of the romance and fantasy genres–isn’t relegated to just the smutty stuff you can get from the library. These romantasy movies are everything you need for a sizzlingly sweet night at home–and I’ll tell you exactly where you can stream them.

The Princess Bride (1987)

It’s the O.G. romantic fantasy movie that your boyfriend lists as his favorite every time you bring up rom coms. It’s got a cute-yet-handsome swashbuckler, an unforgettable princess, a man looking to avenge his father, and Rodents of Unusual Size. AKA, everything you could want. Watch The Princess Bride on Disney+.

Edward Scissorhands (1990)

Tim Burton is about the only person in Hollywood who could make us fall for a man with scissors for hands. Well, us and a blond-haired Winona Ryder, who can’t help but crush on the outcast who lives in the weird gothic mansion overlooking her candy-colored suburban neighborhood. Watch Edward Scissorhands on Disney+.

Groundhog Day (1993)

Phil keeps living the same day, Groundhog Day, over and over. It might take a lot of effort to find his way out of it. There’s something extra romantic about falling in love over and over again. While there are plenty of great and more recent time loop rom coms that you should also watch (like Happy Death Day and Palm Springs), the OG is a timeless (ha!) classic. Watch Groundhog Day on Amazon Video.

Practical Magic (1998)

Whether you want to celebrate the witchy vibes of fall, you love Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, or you just enjoy a good revenge story, this is it. And for once, the female lead is the fantastical one in this romantasy as a witch falling for a run-of-the-mill southern detective. We love a good role-reversal. Watch Practical Magic on PlutoTV.

Ella Enchanted (2004)

Ella is gifted with “obedience,” meaning that she has to do anything anyone tells her, which could be very dark if you think about it for a second. But you know how you’ve found the one in this twist on Cinderella? When you meet someone who never tells you what to do. It’s a fairytale musical that’ll make you fall in love with Anne Hathaway or Hugh Dancy or both. Watch Ella Enchanted on Paramount+.

The Lake House (2006)

Sandra Bullock moves into a very cool lake house, but quickly realizes that she can exchange letters through time when she stuffs them in the mailbox. And when your lover-from-another-time is Keanu Reeves, how can you NOT fall in love through those magical letters? This one’s highly underrated and criminally forgotten. Watch The Lake House on Amazon Video.

Penelope (2006)

Because of a family curse, poor Penelope was born with a pig nose and little piggy ears. To break the curse, she must get married. The only problem? Every man who meets her runs away. Join scores of viewers who realized two important things while watching this movie: Christina Ricci is super cute with a pig nose, and James McAvoy is literally perfect. Watch Penelope on Prime Video, FreeVee, and Tubi.

Stardust (2007)

Based on a Neil Gaiman novel, Stardust follows one ordinary English boy’s trek over a wall and into a magical realm in search of a fallen star. When the star turns out to be a beautiful woman, he has to fight across land, sea, and air to protect her. This movie is notable for a masterful and gender-swapped nerdy-to-hot movie montage for main character Tristan. Watch Stardust on Prime Video.

Twilight (2008)

How can I not put the OG angsty vampire movie on this list? It was the YA romantasy book-turned-film before it was cool and it spurred a new generation of people wishing they could fall in love with a 100-year-old vampire in America’s gloomiest town. What more could you want? Watch Twilight on Amazon Video.

Beastly (2011)

When a cocky jock gets cursed by the school witch, he becomes unrecognizable. Beastly, you could say. But only becoming a better person–and having someone genuinely fall for him–could end the curse. Yep, it’s a modern YA take on the classic Beauty and the Beast story, and it’s actually pretty good. Watch Beastly on Paramount+.

Warm Bodies (2013)

Romantasy has people falling in love with all manner of fantastical and supernatural beings, so why not zombies? In this “Romeo and Juliet” adaptation, R is a zombie who falls for a human in the post-apocalypse. This movie is surprisingly sweet and a must-watch for literally everyone (but especially Nicholas Hoult-lovers. Watch Warm Bodies on Peacock.

About Time (2013)

When Tim learns from his father that he inherited the ability to go back in time, he uses it to create the best life for him and the girl he falls for. While this time-traveling romance is incredibly sweet, it’s actually the relationship between father and son that’ll make you watch this over and over. Watch About Time on Amazon Video.

Beautiful Creatures (2013)

When Ethan gets to school, he realizes that the mysterious girl who’s been showing up in his dreams is now attending his school. Of course, he becomes obsessed and consequently finds out she’s from a long line of local witches. But sometimes opposites attract, you know? While it doesn’t really follow the YA book it’s based on, it’s great if you think of it as a stand-alone story. Watch Beautiful Creatures on Amazon Video.

The Age of Adaline (2015)

After a freak accident involving a frozen lake and a lightning strike, Adaline can no longer age. While it might sound great, the sadness that comes from watching her loved ones grow old weighs on poor Adaline, as does the prospect of falling in love again. It’s a bittersweet, sad story that’s hard to forget. Watch The Age of Adaline on Plex.

Your Name. (2016)

A rural girl and a city boy start switching bodies every few days. After the initial shock, they begin to fall for each other.
