Currently topping the charts on Netflix, the romantic comedy “My Oxford Year” has captured the hearts of viewers. If you’re looking for similar delights, here are four other approved films available on the platform that are sure to charm you as well.

Why you might like it
Released quietly on Netflix in September 2023, this romantic comedy shares several similarities with “My Oxford Year.” Both movies are based on fairly popular novels in the United States. “The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight” is an adaptation of the book by Jennifer E. Smith.
Starring Haley Lu Richardson and Ben Hardy, the film offers a beautiful love story set in England (though less romantic settings than Oxford) and sees their characters come together after a twist of fate. The story also touches on themes of grief, discovering each other, and taking chances even under less than ideal circumstances.
Stay the Life
What’s it about?
A single mother with an incurable disease struggles for her six-year-old son’s future when she meets a charming young man.
Why you might like it
This Turkish drama touched Netflix subscribers when it was released in 2022. In “My Oxford Year,” Anna finds out Jamie has terminal cancer and decides to stay by his side to the end. Rather than awaiting his inevitable demise, the young man chooses to live life without regrets, a message of optimism also found in “Stay the Life.”
Note that a sequel was released in 2024, where the characters strive to survive after a tragedy.
Tomorrow is Another Day
What’s it about?
Alex Rose’s mother encourages her to complete the bucket list she wrote as a child.
Why you might like it
It was only fitting to include another Netflix film featuring Sofia Carson in this list, and we chose “Tomorrow is Another Day” for several reasons. Released on the platform last March, this romantic dramedy was a hit with viewers.
The actress plays a young woman struggling to move on after her mother’s death. Her mother left her a bucket list to complete to inherit her legacy. Alex Rose learns to live life fully and to open up to love, instead of living in the shadows of others.
Bonus – The Fault in Our Stars
What’s it about?
Hazel Grace and Gus are two extraordinary teenagers who share a scathing sense of humor and a disdain for the ordinary. Their relationship is as unique as their circumstances—they met and fell in love at a cancer support group.
Why you might like it
This young adult cinema classic, starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, isn’t available on Netflix but on Disney+. Adapted from the novel by John Green, the film inspired the teams behind “My Oxford Year.” They share a similar approach to dealing with illness: even though death is inevitable, the characters choose to celebrate their lives and remain positive. And this one might also have you reaching for the tissues…
“My Oxford Year” is available to watch on Netflix.
