Emilia Clark's Last Christmas, Love Actually, Bridget Jone's Diary, The Holiday, While you were sleeping, It's a Wonderful Life.

Have you heard about Emilia Clark?

She's a fantastic actress, and I particularly loved her performance in Last Christmas. She brought so much heart and vulnerability to the role of Kate, and her on-screen chemistry with Henry Golding was undeniable. Plus, her singing! Who knew she had such a beautiful voice?

The film itself is such a charming and heartwarming holiday gem. It's funny, touching, and ultimately hopeful, and it never fails to put me in the Christmas spirit. I particularly love the message of second chances and the importance of embracing life, even amidst loss and difficulties. The story of the movie has been posted just two days ago here, I am not going to repeat. However, I would like to recommend some other movies with a similar feel to you:

Love Actually (2003)



Bridget Jone's Diary (2001)



The Holiday (2006)



While you were sleeping (1995)



It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

Movie Shortens




Yugoslavia, 1999

The Andrich family is having a Christmas service where little Katarina is singing in the choir. Her parents Petra and Ivan, plus Katarina's older sister Marta watch and admire her singing, while Marta is admiring one of the other choir girls.

London, England 2017

Katarina now goes by Kate. She has become distant from her family. Kate works at a Christmas shop as an elf, working for a woman who sees potential in Kate but is annoyed at her constant screw-ups. One day, Kate meets a man named Tom Webster. Kate finds him charming, if not a bit odd. Later, she learns that Tom volunteers at a homeless shelter in his spare time. The night ends with them entering an ice skating rink. They have a good time until a security guard kicks them out. On another outing with Tom, Kate tells him about an illness she had in which she required a heart transplant and it made her feel bad about herself, in that she was "half-dead" due to needing help. 

Kate joins her family for dinner. Marta makes things tense by suggesting that Kate always acts helpless after the illness.

Kate goes to the homeless shelter to look for Tom. She ends up getting roped into volunteering and helping out, and later even sets up a bucket outside while dressed as an elf to sing Christmas carols.

Kate starts to try and do right by other people, starting with her family. She apologizes to Marta and finally meets Alba, albeit under tense circumstances. Later on the bus, Kate sees a Yugoslavian couple get harassed by a racist guy. Kate sits by them and speaks to them in their native tongue, telling them that they are welcome there, and she introduces herself as Katarina. She even does better at work and bonds with Santa.

Kate later goes by Tom's apartment to visit him, she realizes that he passed away a year ago. LAST CHRISTMAS, Tom gave Kate his heart. 

Sometime later, Kate has helped put on a Christmas show with the help of the patrons of the homeless shelter. She wears a festive dress as her family comes to see her, and they all perform "Last Christmas."
