Today, we’re talking about Richard Curtis’ 2003 Christmas classic Love Actually. This ensemble film shows nine interconnected stories of love’s various forms. From the unrequited love of Sarah for Carl or Mark for Juliet; to the meet-cutes of PM David and Natalie or John and Judy; to the tales of love betrayed like with Karen and Harry, the film explores how love is not only all around, but also playful, funny, longing, and heartbreaking. And it all takes place in the 3 weeks leading up to Christmas, which makes this an instant Christmas classic, even though it may be implying that it’s totally okay to tell your direct reports to shag the hot designer in the office. 

The film has a stacked cast that includes: Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Laura Linney, Liam Neeson, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Bill Nighy, Andrew Lincoln, Kiera Knightley, Martin Freeman, Chiwetel Ejiafor, and many others, and has a run time of 2 hours and 15 minutes.
