Which Love Actually stories do you actually love the most?
On its 15th anniversary, vote for your favourite love stories - romantic and platonic - from the classic festive romcom
Can you actually believe that Love Actually is now 15 years old?
The Christmassy ensemble romantic comedy was first released in November 2003 (on 14 November in the US, and a week later in the UK), and in the decade and a half since it hit our cinema screens it has become something of a modern classic.
Since its release, the movie has withstood critical indifference - and a backlash for some plot points that are today deemed problematic - to become a perennially popular staple of the Christmas viewing schedules. Not to mention a go-to favourite for contemporary memes.
So, to mark the occasion, we're giving you the definitive say on your favourite parts of the movie. We've listed the 10 main story threads in Love Actually, and you have three votes to select the plots closest to your heart. This way, the most popular options rise to the top, and you'll get to see how much your Love Actually opinions chime with other fans'. So choose wisely!
Maybe you're not the only one who thinks Rowan Atkinson is the best part of the movie? Or perhaps there are many of you who think the Colin-in-America segment is the best? (You'd be wrong, but you do you bbz).
Let the Love-in begin.
God Only Knows what Christmas viewing would be without Love Actually, eh?

An update, though: Love Actually (Two) - "Love Really", could come up to date by focussing on ensembles of, for example: mixed ethnicity love; religious tension and love; love for and between people who experience intellectual, mental health, mobility accessability or pain & ill health challenges; love to do with prison; homosexual love; transgender love; trans homosexual love ( look it up see work by J.Bryan Tully, psychologist, 1984); Limerant Love; cousin love between people who many would consider physically or behaviourally unattractive; and furthercstoriescabout firbidden or hidden live... to name but a few.
Whatever the love, good writing, production and performance could make some, most or all of these jeapardies, chime with those who like to know what happens..and prefer a happy and/or Just ending.
When's the Story Boarding?
