Besides great music and iconic athletes, the ’90s were home to some of the best romantic comedies of all time. In 1999, two titans of the genre – Julia Roberts (Ticket to Paradise) and Hugh Grant (The Gentleman) – collaborated on the British rom-comNotting Hill. In the film, Will Thacker (Grant) is a divorced London bookstore owner and Anna Scott (Roberts) is a famous actress. When Scott walks into Grant’s bookstore, their lives change forever.
What starts as a meet-cute quickly turns romantic as Thacker and Scott bond over a few days. However, Scott’s demanding schedule takes her away from London, leaving Will to try (and fail) to find love with someone else. Scott continues to make sporadic appearances over a year, and the duo attempt to reignite their relationship. Although they come from two separate worlds, Thacker and Scott still try to make it work while outside forces try to break them up.
