Today’s movie suggestion comes from our friend SueW; check out her site; it’s a delight. https://nansfarm.net/.
This is a new one for me. Here’s what IMDB had to say about The Holiday:
Amanda lives in LA and is a movie trailer editor. Iris lives in Surrey and is a journalist. The two decide to swap houses for two weeks at Christmas – both trying to forget their troubled love lives .… until love finds them anyway.
Well, sounds like my kind of flick and it’s already on my watchlist. I know what we’ll be watching tonight!
Let’s check out the trailer:
I’ll save you a seat. Enjoy the movie! 🎥 🍿 🥤

I love this movie and have the DVD. It’s part of our yearly Christmas movie marathon, along with Love, Actually, as Clive mentioned. Merry Christmas, Nancy! 🎄✨🎉

I watched this one last week. And have watched it every year since it came out! It’s in my top 5 Christmas movies.
Along with Love, Actually and The Last Holiday (Queen Latifa) and I gotta think which other ones 😉

We watched last night, too. I thought it was wonderful and really enjoyed the parts with Eli Wallach. All that old movie stuff was incredible. How about that house???

It’s just so damn charming! Which house? Because, as far as I am concerned both had a different wow factor. And yes, Eli Wallach – how sweet is that whole story line?

I’m with you about the houses; I could be very comfortable in either one!
Sweet and funny. Nice to have another dimension to the plot.

Absolutely. And let’s face it, one of each would be nice, too 😉
And Jude Law… c’mon… he’s a pretty boy but I wouldn’t kick him out.

It was charming more than cute, I thought. I really don’t like that word so try to use it sparingly. It was just charming enough not to be cutesy and Jude Law is amazing.

The Holiday is an eminently fun romantic movie for the holidays. I hope everyone enjoys it.
