This probs isn't news to you, but if you're looking for sexy, steamy movies that have you sweatin' up a storm, then Disney+ def isn't the place for you . The streaming service is all about family-friendly content (I mean, they deemed Love, Victor inappropriate due to its LGBTQ+ themes and effectively shut down the Lizzie McGuire reboot, so...). However! That doesn't mean the streamer is a romance desert. And since pretty much all the best romance movies on Disney+ have a PG rating (save for 10 Things I Hate About You and Dan in Real Life, which squeaked by with a PG-13), that means you can watch 'em with your parents without fear of any unexpected sex scenes (*shudders*).
Maybe you're looking for some cozy, feel-good rom-coms to stream on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Maybe you're more in the mood for a cry-your-damn-eyes-out drama about two robots who fall in love. Whatever the case, Disney+ has plenty of swoon-worthy movies that deliver. And btw, if you're looking to make the most of your subscription, then we have plenty of other recs for the Disney+ shows you should be watching, as well as all the best Disney flicks from the '90s you can watch. Without further ado, here are the 22 best romance movies on Disney+ right now that you can stream for all the magic, feel-good vibes, and happily ever afters (sometimes).
