I've only seen it once, but it stuck with me. I'm not into romantic comedies at ALL, but sometimes the British ones get under my radar with their spectacular casts.
I was just realizing the other week when there was a meme question going around, "What's your favorite Christmas movie?" and I thought I didn't have many Christmas movies I cared about; I'm fanatic about a number of Christmas specials, like Charlie Brown and the Grinch and nearly every Rankin-Bass show of that era, and there's the made-for-tv George C. Scott Christmas Carol and the Barishnikov/Kirkland Nutcracker. All of those are part of my Christmas tradition (and my Christmas in July tradition, too; I rewatch all of those every summer for fun!), but I don't really have an affinity for Christmas movies. And then I thought, "Wait, Love Actually's a Christmas movie, isn't it?" And I remembered that, yeah, I had really enjoyed that film, hadn't I, and I remembered that I really loved the Bill Nighy plotline best of all, and I got warm fuzzies.
