Romance movies get dismissed by critics more than almost any other genre. But audiences know what works — real chemistry, genuine emotion, and stories that make you believe in love for two hours.

Netflix's library is massive, which means it has everything — and also a lot of nothing. Sorting through the catalog without a guide is a recipe for wasting an evening scrolling. This list cuts through the noise to the romance movies that audiences actually loved.

These are the romance films that viewers actually fell for. Ranked by the people who watched them, not the critics who rolled their eyes.

Every movie on this list is ranked by ThumbScore — the percentage of everyday people who liked the film. No critic gatekeeping, no algorithmic manipulation. Just real audience verdicts.
