My wife is obsessed with "Love Actually". I don't really get it, but I have now
been forced to watch watched the movie a dozen times.
Fun fact: the relationships from Love Actually are meant to convey the many types of love. For example: love at first sight, unrequited love, infatuation, etc.
There are at least a dozen forms of love depicted in the movie:
Marital Love: Keira Knightley marrying her hubby
Unrequited Love: Keira Knightley and her husband's best friend
Love at First Sight: Hugh Grant (the Prime Minister) and his tea and biscuits server
Workplace Love: John and Judy, the standins for the sex scenes that fall in love while working together.
Familial Love: Liam Neeson and his (step)son deal with the grief of losing Mom
Physical Love: Colin (the British guy) comes to America to get up on hot girls from Wisconsin.
Long Distance Love: Colin Firth and his Portuguese helper:
Sacrificial Love: Laura Linney giving up her crush on her coworker to be with her institutionalized brother.
Cheatin' Love: Alan Rickman being tempted by his secretary.
Infatuation: Liam Neeson's stepson having a crush on the best singer in his class
Taken-for-Granted Love: Emma Thompson about to realize that her husband (Alan Rickman) is having an affair
Platonic Love: Bill Nighy (the rock and roll singer) and his manager:
(I thought these two were actually secretly in gay love, but Wikipedia says that it's platonic, so it must be true. Apparently, straight men like to get drunk and watch porn together.)
I've experienced 9 out of the 12 forms of love (as defined by Love Actually)... how about you?

Less than 3? Ahas, I like the post.
I think I'll watch Love Actually again now, at first watch, I was too young to comprehend anything, so thanks for clearing it up.
Only four out of twelve.
5 of those.
3!
Three of these. Platonic, infatuation, & familial. Interesting post.
Strangely enough, none of listed types are similar to the love I have for my boyfriend, which is probably romantic love.
Oh, I thought this was going to be a deeply intellectual post about the Triangular Theory of Love by Sternberg, which condenses the entire list into mixtures of intimacy, commitment, and passion for ease of use.
Still fun, though. 10/12.
