'Love Actually' has been voted the UK's favourite feel-good film.

The festive favourite has topped a new survey, coming narrowly ahead of prison drama 'The Shawshank Redemption' and musical 'Mamma Mia!'.

The top five was completed by 'Forrest Gump' and 'Mrs. Doubtfire', while 'It's A Wonderful Life', 'The Greatest Showman', 'Elf', 'The Sound of Music' and 'Paddington 2', all made the top 10.

The poll of 2,000 adults also found 84% opt to watch such movies to improve their wellbeing, while 38% look for films with a happy ending to lift their spirits, and 30% view them as a good chance to spend quality times to spend with loved ones.

And as the colder weather draws in, more than three quarters of respondents admitted feel-good films lift their spirits when the seasons change and 61$ cited chocolate as one of their top three favourite movie snacks.

Commenting on the research, Emma Armer, Marketing Director at Ferrero Rocher who carried out the survey said: “We want everyone to enjoy getting wrapped up in movie nights. Our research shows that nearly a third of people watch feel good films to spend quality time with their loved ones, and what better way to experience this than with our delicious Ferrero Rocher chocolate bars, to elevate these moments together!”

To help the nation get wrapped up in movie night, Ferrero Rocher is giving a winner and three friends the ultimate movie night experience at an exclusive 5-star venue, with a private screening of a movie of their choice from Kaleidescape screening.
