LOVE ACTUALLY:
129 minutes
The ultimate romantic comedy of all time from the makers of Four Wedding and a Funeral, Bridget Jones’ Diary and Notting Hill, Love Actually is set almost entirely in London, during five frantic weeks before Christmas. The movie follows a web-like pattern of inter-related, loosely related and unrelated stories of a 13 various individuals. These London lives and loves collide, mingle and climax on Christmas Eve – with romantic, hilarious and bittersweet consequences for anyone lucky or unlucky enough to be under love's spell. Unmissable!

NOTTING HILL (1999):
119 minutes
William Thacker (Hugh Grant), is the owner of a bookshop in the heart of Notting Hill in London. One day, by a one-in-a-million chance, the worlds most famous actress, Anna Scott (Julia Roberts), comes into his shop. He watches in amazement as she leaves and he thinks he'll never see her again. But fate intervenes - and minutes later William collides with Anna on Portobello Road. So begins a tale of romance and adventure in London W11. With a little help from his chaotic flatmate Spike (Rhys Hans) and his old friends, Max and Bella (Tim McInnerny and Gina McKee), William seeks the face he can't forget.

BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY (2001):
97 minutes
From the makers of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill comes the screen adaptation of Helen Fielding`s international best seller starring Golden Globe winner Renee Zellweger (from Nurse Betty and Jerry Maguire) in the title role as the dynamic, irrepressible and outrageously original Bridget Jones.32-year-old Bridget smokes too much, drinks too much and has a tendency to say whatever`s on her mind. As a New Year`s resolution she decides it`s time to take control of her life - and starts keeping a diary. Now, the most provocative, erotic and hysterical book on her bedside table is the one she`s writing. With a taste for adventure and an opinion on every subject - from exercise to men to food to sex and everything in between - she`s turning the page on a whole new life.The fireworks begin when her charming though disreputable boss played by Hugh Grant (from Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill) takes an interest in the quirky Miss Jones and the ups and downs of their ill-fated relationship prove hilarious. Thrown into the mix are Bridget`s band of slightly eccentric friends and a rather disagreeable acquaintance (Colin Firth from Shakespeare in Love) that Bridget cannot seem to stop running into or help finding quietly attractive.

BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY 2: THE EDGE OF REASON (2004):
103 minutes
Starring the v. handsome Hugh Grant and v. dreamy Colin Firth, the story continues four weeks after we last left Bridget. Though Bridget is as happy as Julie Andrews and cosily ensconced in the arms of the v. lovely Mark Darcy, she is uncomfortable with the fact that he folds his boxer shorts and that he’s a Conservative voter, plus her jealousy is starting to get the better of her. This, combined with the worst ski trip of her life, the boss from hell, and the fact that Daniel Cleaver is back on the scene, makes for one of the funniest films this year.

WIMBLEDON (2004):
98 minutes
Pro tennis ‘hot shot’ Lizzie Bradbury (Kirsten Dunst) is a rising star who lives to win. But when Lizzie finds herself falling for the soon to be retired, long-shot contender Peter Colt (Paul Bettany), amid the glitz, glamour and champagne of the Wimbledon Championship, she discovers its not if you win or lose, but how you play the game of love. Wimbledon champions John McEnroe and Chris Evert and commentator Mary Carillo appear as themselves, providing commentary on the tournament play. With Australia’s own Pat Cash, 1987 Wimbledon champion, serving as tennis consultant on the film, Wimbledon was granted unprecedented access by The All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club to film during the 2003 championships. Also starring Sam Neill, Jon Favreau, Nicolaj Coster Waldau and Austin Nichols, Wimbledon is a deliciously witty romantic comedy about chasing your dreams and risking your heart, and is a fun and charming story about love across the net.
