Just finished watching one of my favorite holiday movies Love Actually and when I went to IMDb, I found an interesting bit of trivia.
A speech given by Hugh Grant in ‘Love Actually’ - where he extols the virtues of Great Britain and refuses to cave to the pressure of its longstanding ally, the United States - was etched in the transatlantic memory as a satirical, wishful statement on the concurrent Bush-Blair relationship. Tony Blair responded by saying in 2005, "I know there's a bit of us that would like me to do a Hugh Grant in ‘Love Actually’ and tell America where to get off. But the difference between a good film and real life is that in real life there's the next day, the next year, the next lifetime to contemplate the ruinous consequences of easy applause."

I enjoy that movie too. I like the format, the many characters, sadness turning to happiness, connections between people revealed as the movie goes on, good music. There are a lot of bits in that movie I like. And I always tear up at the end, with the Beach Boys singing "God Only Knows" as families and friends meet at the airport, more and more and more of them. Almost every time I'm at the airport to pick someone up, I marvel at how important it is to each of us to get just that certain person who is coming off the airplane, and not their seatmate. People are so not interchangeable.

My favorite is A Chrismas Story! On Christmas Day it's on TV for 24 hours, and I just love it having it on while I'm doing my Christmassy things around the house!
