Here’s how it works. (Image credit: Netflix) What to watch after 'My Oxford Year' Romantic drama "My Oxford Year" might not have quite managed to oust "K-Pop Demon Hunters" as the Netflix movie of the moment, but the new movie has nevertheless proven to be another popular addition to the streaming service. The movie landed on August 1 and has continued to hold onto a spot high in the Netflix top 10 (it's currently sitting in third place, behind the aforementioned animated hit and "Happy Gilmore 2"). That's particularly impressive, given the Sofia Carson-led romance hasn't exactly earned a glowing reception (it's 31% on Rotten Tomatoes) and, in my opinion, feels like little more than a throwaway Netflix watch. You may like 5 best shows to watch like 'Too Much' on Netflix, HBO Max and more 3 best romantic comedies on Netflix you (probably) haven't seen 7 best movies like 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' to stream If you've already streamed the movie (or you've dodged it because of the reviews), here are five movies like "My Oxford Year" that we think are a little more deserving of your precious viewing time. What to watch after 'My Oxford Year' 'About Time' About Time - Trailer - YouTube Richard Curtis' "About Time" puts a sci-fi spin on the typical romantic setup and sees Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) learning from his father that the men in his family can travel through time. While he can't use this power to change history, Tim decides to use this ability to try and improve his life, which is what eventually brings him to Mary (Rachel McAdams). Across this venture, Tim learns that there are things he cannot change or fix, and he has to learn to appreciate life as it is. It's sincere, relatable stuff.

'Liberal Arts' Liberal Arts International Trailer (2012) Josh Radnor, Elizabeth Olsen Movie - YouTube "Liberal Arts" is a 2012 comedy-drama written, directed by, and starring "How I Met Your Mother" lead, Josh Radnor, and it could be a worthy watch if you're looking for another college-set drama. Radnor stars as Jesse Fisher, a 35-year-old college admissions officer based in NYC who finds himself dissatisfied with his life and pining for his college years back in Ohio. When he's invited back to attend his old English professor's retirement ceremony, he sparks a connection with a much younger college student (Elizabeth Olsen). Watch "Liberal Arts" on Prime Video (with an AMC+ subscription) now 'Me Before You' Me Before You Official Trailer #1 (2016) - Emilia Clarke, Sam Claflin Movie HD - YouTube Thea Sharrock's "Me Before You" is a strong follow-up watch to "My Oxford Year. It's an adaptation of Jojo Moyes' novel of the same name, and follows Lou Clark ("Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke) as she's hired as a carer for Will Traynor (Sam Claflin), who is navigating living with disability after an accident. Will is initially standoffish, but the two grow closer as Lou tries to lift his spirits. The movie drew criticism for the clumsy treatment of its central themes, but won praise for the chemistry between its two leads. Watch “Me Before You” on Prime Video now 'The Life List' The Life List | Official Trailer | Netflix - YouTube "My Oxford Year" isn't Sofia Carson's only Netflix movie. Alongside "My Oxford Year," Carson's also starred in "Purple Hearts", "Carry-On" and Adam Brooks' "The Life List." In this Netflix romance, we follow Alex (Carson). At the request of her late mother, Alex begins working through her teenage bucket list and sets out to realize her old ambitions — and finds love in the process. Granted, "The Life List" isn't a critical darling, either: it's sitting at a marginally higher Rotten Tomatoesscore (it's currently rated at 46%, compared to "My Oxford Year's" 31% rating). That doesn't exactly put "The Life List" in must-watch territory, but if you'd like to watch another Sofia Carson romantic movie, this is the one I'd pick. Watch “The Life List” on Netflix now 'We Live in Time' WE LIVE IN TIME - Official Trailer [4K] - Starring Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh - YouTube I’ve loved “We Live in Time” since I saw it for the very first time at last year's London Film Festival, and I’m confident anyone who enjoyed the drama in “My Oxford Year” will be utterly moved by this powerful watch. John Crowley’s romantic drama charts the relationship between cereal representative Tobias Durand (Andrew Garfield) and figure skater-turned-chef, Almut Brühl (Florence Pugh), across the course of a decade. Opting to tell that story non-chronologically, it offers snapshots from their time together, capturing the giddy highs (and devastating lows) of life and love along the way. It’s emotional, Garfield and Pugh make for a perfect on-screen pair, and it’s sure to move many viewers to tears. If you can get on board with the non-linear structure, I think you’ll fall for its charms; it might be my favorite recommendation on this whole list.
