Synopsis

Forrest Gump

A man with a low IQ has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historic events—in each case, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do. But despite all he has achieved, his one true love eludes him.

Love Actually

Eight very different couples deal with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London.
