Love Actually

*Of course* I have it on DVD, one of the best romcoms ever made, "Love Actually". But even if it is just so brilliant in every little sweet, funny, sad, dippy detail, I don't want to watch it all too often. To fray the pleasure of this perfect feelgood movie would be a pity. So I mostly watch it when it's on TV - which it is on quite a regular basis - now and then. And it is so lovely. Every. Single. Time. Without being too sugary sloppy gooey. Love isn't picture perfect, life isn't perfect.

The kind of movie that makes you discover new quirky details every time you watch it. And it always, without exception, gets me in a good mood. Although, one wish, pretty please, let Sarah and Karl get each other in the end...

And, even if I find the whole cast wonderful, Bill Nighy is the best! If you haven't watched the wonderful "The Girl in the Café" where he stars with Kelly Macdonald, I implore you too. Moving, funny, sweet, intelligent, giving food for thought and above all being hopeful, on many levels, despite the world in so many ways appearing to be a somewhat doomed place...
