Notting Hill (12)

Every man's dream comes true for William Thacker, an unsuccessful Notting Hill bookstore owner, when Anna Scott, the world's most beautiful woman and best-liked actress, enters his shop. A little later, he still can't believe it himself, William runs into her again - this time spilling orange juice over her. Anna accepts his offer to change in his nearby apartment, and thanks him with a kiss, which seems to surprise her even more than him. Eventually, Anna and William get to know each other better over the months, but being together with the world's most wanted woman is not easy - neither around your closest friends, nor in front of the all-devouring press.

Trivia :  During the birthday dinner scene, Anna Scott is asked how much she made on her last film, and her reply is $15 million. This is the amount Julia Roberts was paid for her role in this movie.

The house with the blue door where William lives is a real residence; it once belonged to this movie's screenwriter, Richard Curtis.

Richard Curtis previously dated Anne Jenkin, before her marriage to Bernard Jenkin MP. He routinely includes references to a horrible person "Bernard" in his scripts. In this movie, William introduces himself as Bernard to Jeff King when he realizes he almost helped Anna cheat on him.

Lulu's verdict: A perfect marriage of romace and comedy as always from Richard Curtis. What is it like to date someone incredibly famous? Curtis pens this through his muse Hugh Grant and as always gets that perfect mix of laughter, tears and yearning. For me this is even better than 4 weddings....
