When it comes to Christmas movies, everyone has their favorite. For some it’s Elf, for others it’s The Holiday, and for a solid few it’s Die Hard.
But Christmas movies have a habit of staying classic watches every year, people still keep cracking out It’s a Wonderful Life for instance. And now even the movies from our own childhoods are turning out to be decades old.
And now, one specific Christmas flick is turning 20 years old in 2023, and to celebrate, it’s coming back in cinemas.
“Christmas is all around us” is coming back to cinemas
If you’re not familiar with the classic jingle sung by Bill Nighy’s character, we’ll remind you: Love Actually is heading back into cinemas for its 20th Anniversary.
Originally coming out in 2003 from director Richard Curtis, this ensemble Christmas movie wasn’t quite a hit on first realise, with only a 64% Critics Score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, it has majorly grown in popularity over the years, with iconic scenes such as that Joni Mitchell sequence.
The synopsis for the movie reads: “Nine intertwined stories examine the complexities of the one emotion that connects us all: love. Among the characters explored are David, the handsome newly elected British prime minister who falls for a young junior staffer, Sarah, a graphic designer whose devotion to her mentally ill brother complicates her love life, and Harry, a married man tempted by his attractive new secretary.”
