9 iconic rom-coms streaming on Stan that will warm your heart this winter.

Let's be honest — we all need a good rom-com in our lives. Whether you're nursing a broken heart, celebrating new love, or just need a dose of pure escapism after a particularly brutal week, there's nothing quite like a perfectly crafted romantic comedy to restore your faith in happily-ever-afters.

Rom-coms are the ultimate comfort food for the soul. They give us permission to believe in meet-cutes, grand gestures, and the kind of love that makes you want to run through airports (even though we all know that's completely impractical in real life).

How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days.

This 2003 masterpiece is basically a masterclass in sexual tension disguised as a battle of wills. Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey are absolutely electric as Andie and Ben — she's trying to sabotage their relationship for a magazine article, while he's betting he can make her fall for him.

The result? Pure rom-com gold filled with cringe-worthy dating disasters and chemistry so palpable you can practically feel it through the screen. Not to mention, years later, we are still going on about Andie's iconic yellow dress. Perfection.

Sleepless in Seattle.

If you don't get goosebumps during the Empire State Building scene, we honestly can't be friends. Nora Ephron created something truly magical here — a love story that proves that sometimes the universe really does conspire to bring the right people together.

The plot follows Sam Baldwin, a widower who's struggling to move on after the loss of his wife. When his young son calls into a radio talk show seeking a new wife for his dad, Sam's heartfelt story captures the attention of Annie Reed, a journalist thousands of miles away. Drawn by an inexplicable connection, Annie embarks on a journey to find Sam, even though they have never met.

Tom Hanks will break your heart, while Meg Ryan perfectly captures that feeling of knowing someone is meant for you before you've even met them. It's the kind of film that makes you believe in destiny and maybe, just maybe, start planning your own romantic gesture.

Clueless.

Cher Horowitz is the fashion icon we didn't know we needed, and this 90s gem is so much more than just a teen comedy. It's Jane Austen with a Beverly Hills makeover, and honestly, it's perfection.

The story follows Cher — played by Alicia Silverstone — a wealthy and popular high school student who takes it upon herself to play matchmaker and improve the lives of those around her. Along the way, she learns valuable lessons about love, friendship, and growing up, all while navigating the ups and downs of teenage life in sunny California.

It's delightful. Plus, the fashion is absolutely iconic — we're all still trying to recreate that yellow plaid moment.

Bridget Jones's Diary.

Bridget is all of us — messy, imperfect, and just trying to figure it out as we go. Renée Zellweger gave us the most relatable heroine in rom-com history, complete with diary entries that read like our own internal monologue.

The film follows Bridget Jones, a 30-something single woman in London who decides to take control of her life by keeping a diary to track her goals, relationships, and mishaps. As she navigates her chaotic love life, she finds herself caught in a hilarious and heartfelt love triangle.

And can I say, the love triangle between Hugh Grant's charming cad and Colin Firth's brooding romantic hero is the stuff of dreams. Honestly, we're still not over that fight scene to the most iconic soundtrack of 'It's Raining Men'. That's cinema.

Crazy Rich Asians.

This film changed everything. Not only did it give us the most gorgeous wedding scene in cinematic history (that water aisle still gives us chills), but it proved that diverse storytelling makes rom-coms even more magical.

The story follows Rachel Chu, an American-born economics professor, who travels to Singapore with her boyfriend Nick Young, only to discover he belongs to one of the wealthiest and most influential families in Asia — and that she must navigate the pressures and drama of his ultra-rich world.

Constance Wu and Henry Golding's chemistry is off the charts, and the family drama adds layers that make this so much more than just a pretty love story. Plus, the fashion and Singapore locations are absolutely stunning — it's basically a two-hour holiday for your eyes.

She's the Man.

Amanda Bynes at her absolute peak, serving us Shakespeare with a side of soccer and gender-bending comedy gold. Viola Hastings disguises herself as her twin brother to join the boys' soccer team, leading to a whirlwind of mistaken identities and romantic entanglements.

And watching Viola navigate life as her twin brother while falling for her roommate is chaotic in the best possible way. It's silly, it's sweet, and it's surprisingly progressive for its time. It's the kind of film that reminds you why we fell in love with Amanda Bynes in the first place.

She's All That.

The ultimate makeover movie that launched a thousand beauty transformations. Zack Siler, a popular high school jock, bets he can turn the shy, artistic Laney Boggs into the prom queen, but along the way, he discovers she's perfect just as she is. Aw.

Sure, the premise is a bit problematic by today's standards, but there's something undeniably satisfying about watching Laney's glow-up and Zack's realisation that she was beautiful all along.

Rachael Leigh Cook and Freddie Prinze Jr. had that effortless late-90s chemistry that made us all believe in high school romance again.

When Harry Met Sally.

This is the gold standard for romantic comedies, and for good reason. Harry Burns and Sally Albright meet by chance and keep crossing paths over the years, sparking a debate about whether men and women can truly be just friends.

Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan (the queen of rom-coms) created something timeless here — a film that asks the big questions about love and friendship while delivering some of the most quotable dialogue in cinema history. That deli scene alone is worth the price of admission, but it's the emotional journey that makes this an absolute masterpiece.

13 Going on 30.

Jennifer Garner is pure sunshine in this body-swap rom-com that's equal parts nostalgic and heartwarming. After making a wish on her 13th birthday, Jenna wakes up as a 30-year-old woman, navigating the complexities of adulthood with the heart and enthusiasm of a teenager.

Watching 13-year-old Jenna navigate adult life with teenage enthusiasm is delightful, and the film's message about staying true to yourself resonates long after the credits roll. Plus, that "Thriller" dance sequence is everything — I dare you not to smile.

Whether you're in the mood for classic Hollywood glamour or modern diverse storytelling, Stan's rom-com collection has everything you need for the perfect night in. So pour yourself a glass of wine, grab the tissues (trust me, you'll need them), and prepare to fall in love with love all over again.

Because sometimes, we all need to believe in happily ever afters.

All these rom-coms are now streaming on Stan.
