Netflix has raised their prices yet again. In a world where everyone is just trying to save money, can any of us really afford yet another rate increase?

If you’re planning on ditching Netflix, there are a few things you should watch before you pull the trigger. While some Netflix Originals are barely worth the spot they take up in your queue, others are classics in the making. Blending swoon-worthy stories with stellar acting, these rom coms rival what comes out for the big screen.

I’ve sifted through the list and found the 3 absolute best Netflix Original romantic comedies. Watch these before you say goodbye to Netflix for good because you won’t be able to find them anywhere else.

Happiness for Beginners (2023)

Helen signs up for a beginner’s backpacking trip. Her group is full of an interesting and sassy group of characters, including her brother’s best friend. How can she grow and change when he’s there watching her? Do I put this movie on every list I can? Yes, but that’s just further proof that it’s amazing.

Always Be My Maybe (2019)

Sasha and Marcus grew up next door to each other, instantly becoming lifelong best friends. Or so they thought. After one awkward night together after high school graduation, they drifted apart as adults. But now Sasha’s back in town, and things are going to get tense. Not only is this a stellar rom com, but it also features a cameo you won’t want to miss.

Set It Up (2018)

Assistants Harper and Charlie work in the same building for two equally demanding bosses. They just want some time off, so they hatch up a plan to set their bosses up with each other. But all that time these cute assistants spend together? That’s just icing on the friends-to-lovers cake. If you’re a Glen Powell fan, here’s a rom com from before he was super famous.
