Notting Hill (1999)

British heartthrob Hugh Grant has had two great partners in his life…Marc Lawrence and Richard Curtis. With the first, he starred in the rom-coms Two Weeks Notice (2002), Music and Lyrics (2007), Did You Hear About the Morgans? (2009), and The Rewrite (2014). With the latter, he won the hearts of fans and critics with Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001), Love Actually (2003), Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004), and Notting Hill (1999). The latter has Hugh playing one of his nicest characters: travel bookstore owner Will Thacker. He’s a low-key bloke with a wacky sister (Emma Chambers) and best buds Bernie (Hugh Bonneville), Martin (James Dreyfus), and Max (Tim McInnerny) who is married to Will’s first love Bella (Gina McKee). While minding his business, Will quite literally stumbles into his new love: American superstar Anna Scott (Julia Roberts). She’s working on a new movie and needs somewhere to hide from the paparazzi. Through a series of destined accidents, Anna winds up winding down with Will in his London flat. As they run lines together, they begin to fall in lust. As such, Mr. Grant grants us a view of his bare chest while he’s in bed with Ms. Roberts. If that’s not arousing enough, Hugh also struts his stuff in a towel. Not to be outdone, his roomie Spike (Rhys Ifans) shows off his lean physique while donning skivvies. No wonder the movie nabbed three Golden Globe nominations and a standing ovation in our knickers!
