11 Movies That'll Warm Your Heart Just as Much as To All the Boys I've Loved Before

We have to pay our respects to Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, who are two of the leading names in contemporary romantic comedies (and Reynolds's in-movie grandma, played by Betty White because, of course, she's Betty White). In The Proposal, Bullock plays a no-nonsense editor who gets into a fake relationship with her assistant in order to avoid getting deported. Lo and behold, their fake relationship, much like Peter and Lara Jean's, blooms into real feelings.

Set It Up is arguably one of Netflix's best original romantic comedies (along with To All the Boys I've Loved Before, of course), taking us back to the heyday of frothy, feel-good Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan movies. It features Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell as two hustling New York assistants who set up their tyrannical bosses in order to get more time for themselves. It's a must watch for the dynamics between these two — Deutch and Powell share a sweet, understated chemistry that reminds us, like To All the Boys I've Loved Before, that true love exists.

Peter Kavinsky, like Mark Darcy with Bridget Jones, likes the beloved heroine just as she is. What's endearing about both To All the Boys I've Loved Before and Bridget Jones's Diary is that they both feature imaginative, lovably imperfect female leads.

Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky might not be the future first lady and president (or president and first man), but Southside With You shares the sweetness and rich character development of To All the Boys I've Loved Before.

Truth be told, we could watch Paul Rudd and Alicia Silverstone banter forever in this modern-day teen rom-com adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. The film revolves around the youthful escapades of a fashion savvy, slightly spoiled teenager named Cher Horowitz. Cher and Lara Jean might be from different worlds, but they're smarter and more introspective than most people give them credit for. Like Lara Jean, Cher eventually realizes where her true feelings lie.

Yup, Lara Jean herself loves watching Sixteen Candles with her little sister, Kitty. Though it occasionally relies on regressive stereotypes (as Lara Jean points out), it's a flick that'll help you unpack a lot of the tropes and plot devices in contemporary rom-coms. Plus, Jake Ryan's not too hard on the eyes.

Before he became McDreamy on Grey's Anatomy, Patrick Dempsey starred as an adorkable astronomy kid in Can't Buy Me Love. In the film, his character pays a popular high school girl $1,000 to be his girlfriend for a month. Do they eventually fall for each other over the course of this fake relationship? You bet.

We imagine that this is the kind of story that Lara Jean would read when she runs out of bodice rippers. Starring Lily James and Michiel Huisman, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is about an author who escapes her busy city life and befriends the quaint but lovable residents of a small English town. It's a whimsical, delightful period film with both a mystery and rom-com embedded within it.

OK, so unlike To All the Boys I've Loved Before, The Lizzie McGuire Movie takes place in Rome and features a plot around an Italian pop star. But it also features a sweet story about the family and friends of a guileless teenage heroine with a huge heart.

While Lara Jean is quiet and introverted, there's no doubt that she's brave, intelligent, and passionate, like the titular character in this Netflix original movie. In the film, Jessica, a heartbroken playwright and teacher, unexpectedly finds romance with a divorcé named Boone.
