4. Something’s gotta give:      Nancy Meyers is one film director how to add an extra class to her films. Romantic Comedy though the genre sounds extremely ordinary , Meyers always achieves a great success in giving her movies a mature dimension. How many movies have we seen where the lead characters are above 55 years of age and yet give all the young stars a run for their money. When we here a combination of the likes of Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson leave aside the script, people throng the theaters just to have their glimpse. The very subtle charm of Diane Keaton and the sweet mischievousness of Jack Nicholson did wonders for ‘Some things Gotta Give’.Harry Langer( Jack) is a rich music executive who is currently dating Marrin Baray (Amanda Peet), she takes him to her Hamptons beach house where the balancing of equations takes place. Erica(Diane Keaton) and Aunt Zoe( Francis Macdormand)  spot Harry nude, finding food in the refrigerator. Questioning happens , however they all spend a week together. In the mean while Harry gets a hear t Attack and the sexy doctor Julian Mercer(Keanu Reeves) comes to rescue. The young dove is smitten by the mature, beautiful and sexy Erica and falls for her. By the time Harry is being cured , he is advised to stay at Erica’s place. Finally Harry and Erica fall for each other and Dr Mercer finds himself out of the place.The most interesting and the noticeable aspect of the movie is how beautifully Harry removes all the insecurities from Erica’s heart, her misconceptions about love are over taken by her love for Harry. This movie is intriguing and surprises us at may moments, it is entertaining, soft and emotionally very touching.

5.   Love Actually:         Richard Curtis has proved that what ever British do , they do it with perfection. Love Actually encapsulates 10 love stories, dealing with different dimensions of love and it’s complexities. With an ensemble cast , predominantly of British actors, the film has given whole new meaning to the genre of Romantic Comedies.Love comes with frustration, distress, misery, and emotional paralysis, the very exuberant cast has dealt with all this issue.Hugh Grant who happens to the Sultan of Romantic comedies, has once again proved that his gold locks, his  butter pink skin and that confusion on his face makes him the most attractive poster boy of the British film Industry today. Emma Thompson is once again in a mature role as the wife of Hary( Alan Rickman)  , who is trying to venture out of his marriage and has some what succumbed to seductive foxy, secretary Mia(Heike Makatsch). Laura Linney , Rodrigo Santanoro, Colin Firth , Marlin Freeman and Jonna Page have explored the superlative of excellence in the film.

6.     Four Weddings and  Funeral:        As I mentioned earlier Richard Curtis is a perfectionist and so he proved in his much earlier work ‘Four Weddings and Funeral’. With the superb direction of Mike Newell this movie made up to the (34^th of the top 100 of the best British films by the Times Magazine). This film is a delicious blend of sensitivity , elegance and fun.Hugh Grant plays the role of a nervous and confused Charles who is always late for his friends weddings and committing faults all the time. Andie Macdowell  plays Carrie, a carefree American women who puts Charles into bewilderment and he finally falls for her.The movie suggests that friends are bound together and no matter what , this bond is stronger than marriage.

9.        Bridget Jones Diary:     Sharan Maguire displays her directorial excellence by adapting Helen Fielding’s novel Bridget Jones into a movie which is beyond funny and delightful.The character of Bridget Jones is played by Renée Zellweger and she does it with a great finesse. Pleasingly plump Bridget is a firm believer in true love and is an optimist.  There are two leading men in the movie, the fun and sexy Daniel Cleaver(Hugh Grant) and the very subtle and sincere Mark Darcy( Colin Firth).Helen Fieldings appreciation for Jane Austin’s novels is very evident , though not that seductive, there can be some parallels be drawn. A suave charmer Collin Firth settles down for a least appropriate women and Hugh Grant plays the naughty vagabond for whom love is nothing but an interesting experiment.The movie overall depicts certain truths of life and compels us to cling to a hope that things do get better after a while.

10.       Sense and Sensibility:      An exuberant and deft adaptation of Jane Austen’s magnum opus. The film is very intelligently made and written. It manages to maintain the British mannerisms yet does not  compromise with the very essence of comedy .Directed by critically acclaimed Ang Lee, has wonderfully portrayed the British  Period , the high society, certain requirements of high society, suffocation of being a part of it, the need of braking barriers and fall freely in love.With the exquisite cast members and the genius of Emma Thompson, the master piece which will cherish in the times to come. From the beginning of the movie till the end every emotion, every struggle and every frustration has been excellently portrayed.A movie that teaches us that life changes and fate is very funny thing, whatever is supposed to happen , happens at the end.
