Low-rise jeans, halter tops, and rhinestone-studded flip phones come and go, but nostalgia is forever. Whether you braved the dreaded wired headphone tangle while rocking out to some HitClips back in the day or are just discovering the beauty of 2000s trends now, you know that the new millennium held a certain power. Yes, the ’80s and ’90s gave birth to some all-time fashion crazes, pop culture moments, and classic movies, but the world (famously) didn’t stop when Y2K rolled around. So slip into your best velour tracksuit and check out these iconic 2000s comedies, dramas, and rom-coms now streaming on Netflix.

Stock up on Razzles and settle in for a sweet stream of 13 Going on 30, Gary Winick’s 2004 fantasy rom-com. When 13-year-old social outcast Jenna Rink makes a wish to be “30, flirty, and thriving,” she wakes up the next morning to find that her wish came true: She’s living in New York City with a patently cool mid-aughts magazine job — and looks exactly like Jennifer Garner (Catch and Release). In her flirty and thriving new form, Jenna realizes that some things she’d taken for granted were lost in the wish fulfilled, including her best friend, Matt, who grew up to be played by Mark Ruffalo (The Adam Project). The pair rekindle their relationship as Jenna works to course-correct her adult life after her tweenage mistake. Judy Greer (27 Dresses) and Andy Serkis (Luther: The Fallen Sun) co-star.

Will Smith (Bright) teaches Kevin James (Becky) how to pick up women in Hitch, directed by Andy Tennant (Sweet Home Alabama). Smith stars as Alex “Hitch” Hitchens, a professional “date doctor” who takes on a new client, the sweet but hapless Albert Brennaman (James), in order to get him a date with his crush, the beautiful Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta). But romance is a tough business, and Hitch gets a taste of his own medicine in this 2005 rom-com when he falls for workaholic gossip columnist Sara (Eva Mendes), who’s unimpressed by the usual tricks of his trade. Adam Arkin (Pig) and Michael Rapaport (Atypical) also star.
