I was so impressed by &#8216;Notting Hill&#8217; that I am writing about it even though the movie is as old as 1999. The movie is a romantic comedy, both in equal proportions. Speaking of romance, it is so gently yet so deeply involved, so captivating, so emotional that it falls in the all time favorites for romantic films. Julia Roberts is at her best. Well she always is in so many other films as well. Excellent actor and so very natural. Hugh Grant portrays &#8216;William Thacker&#8217; (I had to google to find his name as I was not aware) and he is soothingly calm and pleasant but does justice to his role as well.<\/p>\n<p>On the comedy front too the film scores very well and is nicely integrated into the script. Songs need a special mention, especially &#8216;She&#8217; by Elvis is top class. I was so captivated, I present below the video from &#8216;YouTube&#8217; for your pleasure and also the lyrics if you plan to sing on behalf of someone, someone you love and care a lot.
