Each week, INSIDER selects new and old flicks you may not have realized are on the streaming service to ease your scrolling woes. In honor of Valentine's Day, we're adding a mix of rom-coms to the mix this week.
You want to punch love in the face? Great. You want a mushy romantic comedy you can snuggle with your significant other to? Done. You want to palentines or galentines it up ? We hear you. No matter what kind of relationship you're in even if it's none at all and just one with yourself there's a movie here for you. If all else fails, we know its Presidents' Day weekend, so we have one pick in here for Abraham Lincoln.
From "The Breaker Upperers" to "Lincoln," here are seven movies on the streaming service you should watch this weekend (along with their Rotten Tomatoes scores when available).
Note: Not all of these films are available in countries outside the United States.
"Set It Up" (2018)
Netflix description: "In desperate need of a break from the office, two beleaguered assistants team up to trick their workaholic bosses into falling in love."
People love to talk about " A Christmas Prince " on Netflix, but if you haven't seen "Set It Up," starring Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs as two A-type bosses who get pushed together by their assistants, you're missing out. Netflix really started to own the romantic comedy space in 2018 and this was one of its finest releases for the chemistry between Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell. Many people could relate to two younger, overworked employees trying to please their bosses.
"The Breaker Upperers" (2018)
Netflix description: "For the right price, BFFs Jen and Mel will ruthlessly end any romance. But when one of them grows a conscience, their friendship begins to unravel."
Don't have a date for Valentine's Day? No problem. Neither do Mel and Jen, and those best friends are perfectly OK with that. In fact, they rather break up other people's relationships. If you're looking for something quirky, "The Breaker Upperers" has a "Broad City" vibe. It also has some of the best karaoke we've ever seen performed in a movie with songs from Celine Dion and Boyz II Men.
"I Love You, Man" (2009)
Netflix description: "A recently engaged guy who lacks a best man for his pending nuptials hunts for a candidate with wedding-party potential."
If you need more of a bromance, this beloved buddy comedy between Paul Rudd and Jason Segel will most certainly do. If their antics aren't enough, Andy Samberg and J.K. Simmons round out this hilarious cast.
"Blue Is the Warmest Color" (2013)
Netflix description: "Determined to fall in love, 15-year-old Adele is focused on boys. But it's a blue-haired girl she meets on the street who really piques her interest."
The Golden Globe-nominated picture was praised for showing a raw first relationship for a teenager. It was the first film at the Cannes Film Festival to take home the Palme d'Or for directing and its lead actresses. It was revered as one of the best films of 2013 .
"To All the Boys Ive Loved Before"

Netflix description: "When her secret love letters somehow get mailed to each of her five crushes, Lara Jean finds her quiet high school existence turned upside down."
If you're looking for something heartwarming and endearing, "TATBILB" feels like an honest teen rom-com that may throw you back to the John Hughes days of the '80s. You also may gush over Noah Centineo's character. This is one you'll probably want to watch again, especially since a second one is on the way.
"Definitely, Maybe" (2008)
Netflix description: "Interested in knowing how her divorcing parents met, young Maya listens as her dad, Will, recounts his romantic past with three different women."
Do you want to see "Deadpool's" leading man Ryan Reynolds in an old rom-com? Sure you do. Long before he stepped into any superhero role, Reynolds played Abigail Breslin's dad. As his character, Will, goes through a divorce, he recounts some of his previous relationships to his daughter. It feels like you're stepping into a time machine as you see younger versions of Isla Fisher, Elizabeth Banks, and Rachel Weisz.
"Lincoln" (2012)
Netflix description: "Director Stephen Spielberg takes on the towering legacy of Abraham Lincoln, focusing on his stewardship of the Union during the Civil War years."
Not interested in lovey dovey movies? No problem. If you want to celebrate Lincoln's birthday and Presidents' Day weekend, you can watch Daniel Day-Lewis' Oscar-winning turn in 2012's "Lincoln."
