Nothing gets us into the holiday spirit more than a good Christmas movie. And this week, one of our all-time faves, The Holiday, turns 10.
That's right, it's been a decade since the Nancy Meyers masterpiece introduced us to Amanda (Cameron Diaz), Iris (Kate Winslet), Graham (Jude Law), Miles (Jack Black), and of course, Arthur (Eli Wallach). And yet all these years later, the movie still gives us the same warm fuzzies that it did the first time around.
Besides being way ahead of its time with the whole house swapping thing (Airbnb didn't even exist back then), The Holiday showed every other romcom how it's done. The casting was spot-on, the sets were picture perfect, the dialogue was sweet--but not too sappy, and most important, everything gets wrapped up in a festive little bow.
