Notting Hill

Watching a movie is one of my favorite Saturday afternoon indulgences, and Notting Hill is one of the few "chick flicks" that I have watched numerous times. I'm not sure exactly what I love most about this movie; the wonderfully imperfect characters that all adore each other unquestionably; the story of the most unlikely love being not only possible, but desireable; the setting, quaint London, full of quirks and novelties not found in my own life; the accents - it's just a cute little package of a movie that I love. Perfect for a cold, windy Saturday.

You'll pardon me if I go dream of my own Englishman with a cute little home with a blue door and a mail slot and a fantastically charming sense of humor (not that I'm any movie star...it just seems as unlikely for this American girl...)

Have I mentioned this movie has a fantastic soundtrack? ("You say it best, when you say nothing at all...")

Glad to hear you've had a great Saturday. . .I've picked up the phone to call several times and it's never quite worked out. We are just settling in to watch "Little Miss Sunshine". It's the first movie that we've seen in months that has actually been in theaters recently! I know. .. you are SHOCKED!! Love you a lot!!! Miss you a ton!!! Wish I was on the couch next to you watching Notting Hill (I've never seen it). Sis/Jules

You would think I would love this movie. I would think I would love it. I did not. Go figure. But I'll check out the soundtrack--movie soundtracks can be the best CDs to listen to!!

Aww, I love that movie. I remember that was the first time I had ever seen anyone wear flipflops with a skirt (Julia's character) and I thought it was so odd.
