Love Actually (2003)

I watch this every Christmas. I don't know how many times I have watched it, but this year, the video colors started to fade. Not sure if it'll survive next year 😢

My favorite parts:
  • Billy Mack singing at the beginning – him cursing was hilarious.
  • Juliet finding out Mark's crush on her in his loft – the split second when his heart broke, my heart broke.
  • Jamie jumping into the lake with Aurelia – the camera scanning down to reveal the tattoo on her back and Jamie swallowing hard was too sexy!
  • Harry buying a gold necklace at the department store – I was aghast at the efforts that British put into gift wrapping. 😂
  • The Prime Minister dancing in 40 Downing Street – priceless!
  • Sam running through the airport – too adorable!
  • Airline staff being distracted by Billy Mack singing stark naked on TV to allow Sam to slip by – great writing because it was promised earlier in the plot and completely paid off!
  • Aurelia walking down the stairs at the restaurant to meet Jamie – every princess needs to walk down a spiral staircase!
Every time I watch it, I cry at different parts. I used to cry at Juliet finding out Mark's crush. This year, however, I got misty eyes when Joanna kissed Sam on the cheek. Wonder which part I'll cry at next year.

That was how I could get Math Teacher to watch bits and pieces of it. For example,
  • Hans Gruber vs. Mr. Bean!
  • Ra's al Ghul (Batman Begins) crying over his dead wife.
  • Davy Jones (Pirates of Caribbean: At World's End) singing naked!
  • The Kingsman (2014 & 2017) being cheated on and being clumsy.
  • Dr. Watson (Sherlock BBC) naked and doing sex! (Math Teacher disliked this one so much! 🤣)
  • Xerxes from 300 (2006 & 2014) was the most shocking!  He should be an underwear model!
See you next Christmas!
