Missing Bella & Edward? You’ll Love These 22 Movies Like ‘Twilight’

Has it really been more than a decade since we last saw Kristen Stewart grace the big screen as Bella Swan?

It feels like it was just yesterday when passionate Twilight fans were breaking the internet over #TeamJacob and #TeamEdward (FYI, Team Edward all the way). And now, Stewart is making headlines once again, thanks to her titular role in the Princess Diana biopic Spencer. But as excited as we are to see her embody the late royal, we admit, we kinda miss seeing her as the awkward, lovestruck teen.

For those who could also use a walk down memory lane to fill the vampire-shaped void, here are 20 movies like Twilight you can stream right now, from Warm Bodies to Beautiful Creatures.

1. The Host (2013)

• Who's in it? Saoirse Ronan, Max Irons, Jake Abel, William Hurt, Diane Kruger
• Rating: PG-13

From the mind of Stephenie Meyer, the same author that brought us Twilight, The Host is a lot like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but with a YA twist. The plot follows Melanie, a young woman who gets captured and injected with a parasitic alien that’s determined to take over her body. There are no vampires or werewolves in this story, but Jared and Melanie’s chemistry will definitely remind you of Bella and Edward.

2. Beastly (2011)

• Who's in it? Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens, Mary-Kate Olsen, Peter Krause
• Rating: PG-13

​​In this modernized retelling of Beauty and the Beast, we see the similar theme of an unlikely couple beating the odds. Pettyfer stars as Kyle, a narcissistic bully who picks on Kendra, not knowing that she’s a witch. In retaliation, she curses Kyle by turning him into an unattractive, hairless version of himself, leaving him totally isolated. But things start to look up when he meets and falls in love with his former classmate, Lindy.

3. Warm Bodies (2013)

• Who's in it? Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, Lio Tipton, John Malkovich
• Rating: 16+

Falling in love with a vampire isn’t easy. But falling for a zombie that snacks on your boyfriend’s brains? That’s next level. Set during the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse, a zombie who goes by “R” (Hoult) finds himself drawn to a human survivor named Julie (Palmer). And the more time he spends with her, the more he can feel himself coming back to life.

4. Blood and Chocolate (2007)

• Who's in it? Agnes Bruckner, Hugh Dancy, Olivier Martinez, Katja Riemann

Vivian is a young chocolate store owner and werewolf who, according to tradition, must marry the werewolf pack leader. But things get complicated when Vivian starts to fall for a human artist named Aiden, who also has a fascination with werewolves.

5. Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)

• Who's in it? Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Jennifer Ehle, Marcia Gay Harde
• Rating: R

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention this erotic drama, which started as a piece of fan fiction based on the Twilight saga. In the film, a naive college grad pursues a sadomasochistic relationship with an older businessman named Christian Grey (Dornan). If you enjoyed the steamier parts of Breaking Dawn, this one’s for you.

6. Red Riding Hood (2011)

• Rating: PG-13

While Bella is in a love triangle with Jacob and Edward, Valerie finds herself torn between her wealthy groom-to-be and an orphaned woodcutter, Peter, whom she truly loves.

10. Meet Joe Black (1998)

Pitt embodies death (literally) in this fantasy romance, although he's not so brooding and serious like Edward Cullen.
