If you watched it Christmas night, you should already have your presents, unless Santa's running late. :D ;)

Love Actually is a definite must watch at Christmas, it just makes Christmas for me, as the film counts the days down, and the people's lives are just lovely to watch. Hugh Grant makes a great Prime Minister, especially when he puts the American President in his place! :lol: :lol:

Good point. Still don't think it's quite my kind of film though. :)

Julie, I'm glad I'm not the only person (outside of my family) who loves this film. I really enjoy the sound track too.

One of my favourite bits is Hugh Grant's dancing. :) I have a t-shirt with a still from that part of the film.

That's nice, Katharine. The music from the film is just fabulous. I have the DVD but I'm sure it will be shown on TV as it usually is. :D

I love Die Hard (and the sequels). It's not at all scary, and I'm a wuss when it comes to scary films.

There is an alternative director's festive cut of the film that you may just about enjoy Katharine.. :wink:
