Love Actually, Four Weddings or Notting Hill

I like all 3 but Notting Hill is probably my favourite by default. Theres just too many characters in Love Actually to really connect to any of them and while i like Four Weddings (who couldn't love that funeral scene :) ) i think Hugh Grant and Andie McDowell must be the most mismatched couple in the history of movies. They are just so wrong together.

I agree with you too Mrs C " Is it raining.........i hadn't noticed" while water streams from every part of her face and body just about ruins this film for me and makes me :mad:
 
Four Weddings - Brilliant in that it was the first of the three, no-one really knew Hugh Grant before, so his portrayal seemed fresh. It's only the casting of Andie McDowell that doesn't work.

Notting Hill - Probably my least favourite of the three, but the scene where Hugh Grant wears his diving mask to the cinema cracks me up every time!

Love Actually - Could have done with one or two sub-plots being edited out, but overall it's my favourite. Makes you laugh one moment, then cry the next. Superb.
 
Like them all to be honest and I have always said that what makes those films is not the main characters (how could ANYONE like Andi McDowell???!) but the minor characters and their relationship. I cried buckets when the husband carries his disabled wife up the stairs in NH. Little moments like that make the film. Not Julia frigging Roberts who I can't stand. However, my favourite is probably LA simply BECAUSE it is all minor characters who show all the sides of love, and loss. Emma Thompson was superb in the crying bit. I wept for her and it still gives me goosebumps. LA was a cleverer, less soppy film apart from the Martine McCutchan bit. Who didn't cry, too, when Liam Neeson is talking about his wife?
