Love is in the air on Netflix. As the season changes to fall, it's time to stay inside and watch a rom-com. One of the most famous rom-coms of the last 20 years, The Notebook, is now streaming on Netflix. If you don't feel like watching The Notebook for the hundredth time, stream one of the service's original rom-coms, including Hit Man, A Family Affair, and Mother of the Bride.
