Our Favorite Holiday Movie Quotes & The Screenwriters Who Penned Them
“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there. Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge — they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.” – Love Actually, Written by Richard Curtis
Discover the magic behind your favorite holiday movie quotes in this holiday-edition roundup. From the heartwarming to the hilarious, we reveal the talented screenwriters who brought these iconic lines to life. Whether it's the adventures of Kevin McCallister in "Home Alone" or the profound musings from "Love Actually," these quotes have a special place in our holiday traditions.
