Notting Hill (1999)

See if any of this sounds familiar. Shuffling singleton Hugh Grant shares a house with an eccentric but funny flatmate. He falls for a beautiful American girl who can only visit England on special occasions. He embarrasses himself in front of her yet she finds him endearing. He discusses all his problems with his friends, she confides solely in him. Despite a series of misunderstandings, Grant and the girl fall in love. The movie in which they appear goes on to be one of the most successful British films of all time and Richard Curtis, the writer, goes home satisfied at another job well done.
