Double Bill of Romantic Comedies

Watch two delightful romantic comedies back-to-back, each with its own unique story. In 'The Holiday' (2006), we meet Iris (Kate Winslet), a successful London journalist who has fallen in love with a man about to marry another woman. Meanwhile, across the globe, Amanda (Cameron Diaz) discovers her partner has been cheating on her. After they meet online and swap homes for the holiday, they both find love in unexpected places. Amanda meets Iris' charming brother Graham (Jude Law) in her LA home, while Iris finds romance with film composer Miles (Jack Black) in his English cottage.

In 'Love Actually' (2003), eight love stories intertwine over one Christmas in London, all focusing on over a dozen characters. These include newly widowed Daniel (Liam Neeson), the failing marriage of Karen (Emma Thompson) and Harry (Alan Rickman), and the romantic feelings of British Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) for his Number 10 staff member (Martine McCutcheon).

The Holiday

Get into the holiday spirit with The Holiday, a charming romantic comedy that will leave you smiling. Writer-director Nancy Meyers brings us the story of two women, Iris and Amanda, who connect through a home-swapping website and decide to trade homes for the holiday season. Both are heartbroken from past relationship troubles, Iris from her unrequited love with a colleague, and Amanda from a recent breakup. As they navigate their new surroundings, they both meet new people and discover unexpected love - Amanda falls for Iris's brother Graham, and Iris finds a connection with super-nice film composer Miles. With its beautifully decorated settings and satisfying romantic wish-fulfilment, this film is a must-watch for anyone looking for a feel-good holiday movie.
