4. Love Actually (2003)
Love it or hate it, and you're probably mad not to hate it, Love Actually does have a few great things going for it. Bill Nighy and erm, that bit where someone kills Hugh Grant (I might have dreamed that). If you've ever seen this film on a plane, like I first did, you won't have rated Martin Freeman's performance as it was completed deleted from all airline versions. Playing John, a body double appearing in the sex scenes for a movie, Freeman is mainly naked in his role and is required to get squeaking sounds out of Joanne Page (not tricky, considering how she sounds in most other things). Again, there's a lovely sense of vulnerability to a bloke who's effectively just a love machine for hire, and the scenes far from the fornication - where he just can't express his love for his co-star - are beautifully played. It's just a shame the rest of it is a pile of tosh (the wife's gonna kill me for saying that...)
