When it comes to romance, we got some good choices available to us on lots of Streaming platforms – but is it too much. So, we aim to narrow it down so you can watch something on either Disney Plus, Netflix or Amazon Prime.
This time, Netflix. Netflix has a User Interface that is allot clearer and has allot more options available to it. (At time of writing – all selected films were available on the platform.)
- PS I Love You (2007) – This film is pitch perfect in its design and the idea of moving on.
