From classic romantic comedies like Never Been Kissed to poignant romance dramas like If Beale Street Could Talk, these titles never fail to take us on a rollercoaster of emotions.

Since we could all use a little more love in our lives right now (even if it’s through our TV screens), we took it upon ourselves to round up 15 of the best romance movies on Hulu. Get your popcorn ready.
