History Awesome / LoveActually

* On a related note, Olivia Olson's performance of "All I Want For Christmas Is You." Even better when you learn she actually had to tone down her singing skills so people wouldn't assume she was dubbed.

* The Prime Minister's RousingSpeech, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic set to]] [[www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hej-McdoYYw "PM's Love Theme"]]. In which he verbally burns the US President, gives a massive shout-out to the great history of Britain, and serves notice that the UK isn't going to simply take what the US dishes out anymore. It was instantly beloved across Britain and became the centerpiece of a "look how awesome the UK is" advertising campaign.

-->"I fear that this has become a bad relationship; a relationship based on the President [[AllTakeAndNoGive taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter]] to, erm... Britain. We may be a small country, [[BadassBoast but we're a great one, too]]. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend.

** It was also popular among liberal Americans, who would have loved nothing more than for Blair to do that to Bush (and knew perfectly well it would never happen).

* It cannot be that nobody added THE Crowning Moment of Awesome in that movie. The Prime Minister's Speech. In which he verbally burns the US President, gives a massive shout-out to the great history of Britain, and serves notice that the UK isn't going to simply take what the US dishes out anymore. This troper is American, and considers it one of the greatest movie speeches of all time.

* This movie helped kick start ''an entire genre of film'' (Ensemble cast in a rom-com). How awesome is that?

* The wedding scene in which the best man gives the bride and groom the best wedding present ever.
** Ultimate [=CMoA=] from that film: Mark, Juliet, cue cards and fake carol singers. THAT is his [=CMoA=].
* Sam. Airport scene. That is all.
* Olivia Olson's performance of "All I Want For Christmas Is You." Even better when you learn she actually had to tone down her singing skills so people wouldn't assume she was dubbed.

* The moment Hugh Grant verbally shoves his balls into this obnoxious Bush/Clinton expy's face always makes this Troper feel pride in his heart and to be proud of living in Europe. YMMV of course.
** Hell, I think it's a [=CMOA=] and I'm an American. The ''LoveActually'' universe's President is a douchey combination of the worst of both RealLife Presidents (well, he doesn't come across as a Bush-level terrible speaker; he's more like a combo of Clinton, Bush, ''and'' Cheney.) Unfortunately the PM can no longer claim possession of either of David Beckam's feet, but the rest of the country's awesome stands.

* The press conference where the Prime Minister (played by Hugh Grant) listing all the great things that come out of Great Britain. It's so awesome that it's actually been used as a tourism campaign in London.
** And arguably, the wedding scene in which the best man gives the bride and groom the best wedding present ever.

* David's driver pulling out his operatic singing voice for Christmas carols.
