Netflix fans only have days left to watch 'best ever' romcom
The film will soon be removed from the streaming platform
Netflix fans have just days left to enjoy an acclaimed romcom before it is removed from screens.
Notting Hill, which premiered in 1999 starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, has been a favourite amongst viewers since its introduction. The plot revolves around bookseller William Thacker, portrayed by Hugh Grant, whose life is upended after meeting famed actress Anna Scott, played by Julia Roberts.
The film has been branded as a "must watch for anyone" and is currently available on Netflix, but fans will need to hurry as the title is set to disappear soon. Netflix has warned that the last day to watch will be July 5.
The Netflix synopsis reads "A chance encounter brings together reserved bookstore owner William Thacker and Hollywood icon Anna Scott, who forge an improbable romance."
With an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the reviews continue to pour in. One fan said: "It's perfect .. one of the best rom coms of all time." reports Surrey Live.
Another echoed: "An absolutely amazing film, full of love, laughter and much more! A must watch for anyone."
One commented: "All time fav movie," while another added: "One of the all time great rom coms. Writing and acting at the highest level."
One fan penned: "Love it. I've rewatched it a few times and I don't really rewatch movies. The chemistry between the two is really nice. It's a fantasy everyone has of a chance encounter with a famous person, and then falling in love with them.
"The movie brilliantly captures that. It's v cute with the right amount of twists and turns."
On Google reviews, one fan echoed: "I'm not a fan of romantic comedies, so when a good one comes along, I tend to take special notice of it. This movie seriously needs to be considered among the best ever made of its genre."
They further added: "This is one of those movies where you find yourself smiling so much that your cheeks start to hurt."
However, the film didn't resonate with everyone. One viewer disagreed, writing: "Saw this in the theater with my (then) wife and some friends. I did not even crack a smile during the entirety of the movie."
Another added: "A waste of two hours! Awkward and long film that splutters along. The characters are not very likable and this is bad even for the time."

Daisy Edgar-Jones to star in remake of classic Jane Austen period drama
Daisy Edgar-Jones is set to lead a new adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved book, Sense and Sensibility. Focus Features and Working Title Film announced on Wednesday that the Twisters star would be taking on the lead role as Elinor Dashwood. The project sees the production companies take on yet another one of Austen's books following their 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, and their 2020 adaptation of Emma starring Anna Taylor-Joy and Johnny Flynn. Sense and Sensibility will see Georgia Oakley direct and Diana Reid write the script. Oakley is best known for directing Little Bird, Blue Jean, and the short film Callow & Sons. Daisy, 27, teased her upcoming role to her followers on social media as she posed with the Penguin Classics book with an eye emoji as the caption.

I created Squid Game — now I'm like one of the show's wealthy VIPs
Squid Game, the South Korean series about a contest featuring deadly versions of children's games, satirises lots of things — reality TV, authoritarianism, democracy, surveillance, cultural infantilisation. Above all, though, it's capitalism that gets a kicking. In pursuit of a multi-million pound prize the debt-ridden contestants risk their lives — and condemn each other to grisly doom — while an audience of wealthy 'VIPs' watch the bloodbath on plush sofas, sipping wine. So there's a juicy irony in the fact that I'm meeting Hwang Dong-hyuk, the creator of the series, in a wincingly posh hotel in central London. We wait in a corridor while members of his entourage issue requests to nervous staff. 'We can't start until he has his coffee,' someone says. Hot or cold? 'Bring both, just in case.' A waiter sprints off. Refreshments delivered, Hwang appears, a contained figure in round glasses, safari jacket and slacks, flanked by Korean, American and British assistants. He's a big deal these days, given that Squid Game — about to start its third and final season — is Netflix's most-watched show worldwide. The first season of 2021 was viewed for a total of 1.6 billion hours in the first 28 days of release and the following year it won six Emmys, with Hwang becoming the first South Korean to win outstanding directing for a drama series. That was for the Red Light, Green Light episode, featuring a twist on Grandma's Footsteps in which the losers were mown down by machine guns. 'I want to steal your brain,' Steven Spielberg told him when they met. So has Hwang, 54, become a VIP himself? He gives a little laugh. 'I don't think I'm a VIP but I've become closer to the lives of the VIPs. I have experienced both sides, that's why I was able to tell a story like this,' he says, speaking through an interpreter, although he sometimes slips into very good English, a legacy from his time at the University of Southern California. When he conceived Squid Game he was 'very much like' its everyman hero Seong Gi-hun, contestant 456, played by Lee Jung-jae. 'I was in debt — I had to worry about the money for the next day,' he says. He had grown up poor in Seoul — his father, a journalist, died when he was five and his mother did various jobs to support the family. • Read more TV reviews, guides about what to watch and interviews 'Now I have accumulated a certain amount of wealth [$20 million, according to one estimate] and some people might think I'm closer to the host in Squid Game now.' By whom he means the Front Man, the mask-wearing psychopath who runs the game, played by Lee Byung-hun. 'But I try to keep watch so that my economic success doesn't dominate what I do as a creator.' His output has not lacked social conscience — his breakthrough film was Silenced (2011), based on real-life events at Gwangju Inhwa School for the deaf in South Korea, where students were sexually assaulted by teachers. As well as making him rich, the series — every episode of which Hwang wrote and directed — has taken a physical toll. 'I've lost eight or nine teeth,' he says. 'When I have stress, it causes gum disease. I am trying to get my body and mind away from Squid Game, but every time we are in a setting like this it feels like I'm being pulled back.' I think he means talking to annoying journalists, not swanky hotels. He sidesteps a question about his private life, but in 2021 said it was several years since he had been in a relationship. Squid Game was inspired by Japanese manga survival stories such as Battle Royale and Liar Game and, he says, by the financial crisis of 2008, which 'affected everybody in every country and exposed the vulnerabilities of late capitalism. The series definitely touched something in the zeitgeist.' Mild spoilers ahead. Hwang puts the show's popularity down to 'the contrast between the innocence of the kids' games and the brutal consequence of failure', whether that's crossing a glass bridge over a fatal drop where some panes break and others don't, or cutting a shape in honeycomb and getting shot if it breaks in the wrong place. The final season brings horrible new spins on skipping and hide and seek. • Price of fame in South Korea 'like a real-life Squid Game' How would Hwang fare in situations like those? 'I'm quite timid and scare easily,' he says. In the show Gi-hun licked his honeycomb to soften it. 'That was my trick that I used to do as a kid. I was really good at it. But if I were put under that much stress, I might mess it up.' Especially if the soundtrack was Cliff Richard's Congratulations, as it is in one game in the new season. Hwang has said that Squid Game had to be made by a streamer because it is too violent for traditional TV networks. Season two was especially bloody, as Seong Gi-hun, who won the game in the first season, entered again and led a mutiny against the guards. Have we become inured to violence? 'Human beings have always been violent,' he says. 'At least nowadays people don't go into Africa, grab people from their homes and sell them as slaves. Now the brutality has become more nuanced.' After each round the contestants vote on whether the game will continue, but the results are often swayed by yes voters intimidating the no camp. This feels like a swipe at Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and the like, but Hwang, mindful of US visa applications, is diplomatic. 'The system is what makes strongmen — they don't suddenly fall from the sky.' The show is part of a 'Korean wave' of international cultural success that includes the K-pop of BTS and Blackpink and movies such as Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning Parasite and Park Chan-wook's Decision to Leave. Why does a country of 50 million punch so consistently above its weight? 'South Korea rose from the ashes of the Korean War through intense competition,' Hwang says. 'As a kid I would see programmes on TV celebrating the fact that we had hit a particular number of exports. We were such a small nation, and very poor, and we had a mission to let our land be known to the world.' North Korean characters feature in Squid Game, which makes you wonder if anyone there has seen it. 'It's a dangerous show for North Korea,' Hwang says. According to reports, a man who supplied North Korean students with a black-market copy was sentenced to death. 'I don't know how accurate that is. I doubt it would be easy for anyone to get access to the show.' While Kim Jong-un may see Squid Game as evidence of the evils of capitalism, Hwang says it shows 'that South Korea is a place where you can criticise capitalism, it proves the superiority of a free nation. In that sense it might be even more dangerous for North Korea.' The series has spawned reality TV imitators including Squid Game: The Challenge from Netflix and Beast Games from the YouTuber Mr Beast, where entrants emulate the challenges to win big cash prizes, with no deaths but plenty of back-stabbing. There is also an immersive challenge in London, Squid Game: The Experience. 'That's capitalism for you,' Hwang says wryly. 'A series that acutely criticises capitalism can only be made if it is a commercial product and people want to invest in it. I'm not saying we need to turn ourselves into a socialist society — that era is done and gone. All we can do is to make improvements to liberal democracy and late capitalism. Nobody wants a loss — there's just more and more greed.' His upcoming projects sound equally cheery. First up is a film called Killing Old People Club, based on an Umberto Eco work and with echoes of Logan's Run, the sci-fi movie in which everyone is killed when they reach the age of 30. There is also a possible series, partly inspired by the plan of Thanos in the Marvel films to kill half of all living beings so there are enough resources to go around. It's an idea that intrigues Hwang, who gave a villain in Squid Game the name Thanos. With environmental threats rising and capitalism failing, he says, 'unless we come together as a race and decide that we need to make some sacrifices, humanity is bound to experience a huge crisis. Will we only realise after we lose half of humanity?' Well, if anyone can dramatise the end of the world, it's Hwang Dong-hyuk. The third season of Squid Game is on Netflix from June 27 Love TV?

Here's Where Those Jonathan Bailey as James Bond Rumours Came From...
Jonathan Bailey has dropped a huge hint that he could be up for playing James Bond. The Bridgerton and Wicked star, who's now staring in Jurassic World Rebirth alongside Scarlett Johansson, stars as MARTINI Man for the drink's new summer campaign following in the footsteps of George Clooney and Jude Law. The ad, which was shot in sun-drenched Southern Italy, sees the 37-year-old actor teasing that he could be stepping into Daniel Craig's shoes to take over the iconic spy role as he poses – stylishly, of course – with a Martini spritz in hand. Of course, vodka martini is famously Bond's favourite drink, which he prefers shaken not stirred. This potentially huge, clanging sign post has, predictably, sent the internet into overdrive. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James, Henry Cavill, Regé-Jean Page, Richard Madden and Idris Elba are amongst the actors who have been rumoured to be in the running to be the next James Bond, which would be the 26th in the series and follows 2021's No Time To Die. Jonathan is a star of stage and screen. He started acting as a child, playing Tiny Tim and young Scrooge in a Royal Shakespeare Company production of A Christmas Carol in 1995 and performed as Gavroche in the West End production of Les Miserables when he was eight. He made his big-screen debut in Five Children And It in 2004, but continued to appear on TV and in theatres with roles in Doctors, The Bill, Groove High and Broadchurch. While he considers playing Cassio in Othello at the Olivier Theatre in 2013 as his 'big break', it wasn't until he portrayed Anthony, 9th Viscount Bridgerton, in Bridgerton that the rest of the world noticed him – including Hollywood. Suddenly, he became Tinseltown's hottest hunk, landing roles in Showtime's Fellow Travelers, Netflix's teen drama Heartstopper and leading man Fiyero in Wicked and the upcoming second part. And while he hasn't forgotten his theatre roots, returning to the stage in Richard II earlier this year, his role in Jurassic World Rebirth is sure to propel him to even greater heights. Jonathan Bailey in Bridgerton ©Netflix Jonathan is 37 years old. Jonathan is 5'11 or 1.80m. After coming out as gay to his family and close friends in his early 20s, Jonathan came out publicly in 2018, but doesn't let his sexuality define him or his career. 'I thought in order to be happy, I needed to be straight… I reached a point where I thought, f*** this, I'd much prefer to hold my boyfriend's hand in public or be able to put my own face picture on Tinder and not be so concerned about that than getting a part,' he said. As to whether Jonathan is single or not, we have to assume that Jonathan is happily taken. In 2023, he revealed he was dating a 'lovely man' but didn't name him. 'It's not secret but it's private. Having a private life is, for me, completely critical,' he said. 'I don't know if I would be able to be as confident to speak out on other things if I felt that my whole life was up for grabs.' Jonathan Bailey and James Ellis ©David M. Benett/He was previously linked to actor James Ellis in 2019, whom he kissed at the Olivier Awards that year, upon winning a gong. But as we now know with Jonathan, a kiss doesn't mean they are dating – as in the case of him kissing his Jurassic World Rebirth co-star Scarlett Johansson. He was also linked to his Fellow Travelers co-star Matt Bomer, but their on-screen chemistry is merely that. In real life, Matt is married to publicist Simon Hall, with whom he shares three children. Jonathan doesn't have kids, but is hoping to in the future. 'I'm reading books on adoption. I might coparent with a woman, but I'm thinking it will be with a man,' he said.
