7. Four Weddings And A Funeral
If you're at all familiar with the collaborations between screenwriter Richard Curtis and star Hugh Grant (Notting Hill, Love Actually, Bridget Jones), then you'll know exactly what you're in for with Four Weddings And A Funeral, their first effort together: a sappy love story mixed up with some typically awkward Hugh Grant comedy, and a feelgood slice of quirky British-ness.
The movie follows Charles (Grant) through the five events listed in the title, exploring his run-ins with romance along the way. Being the first of many Curtis/Grant rom-coms, Four Weddings does feel a little bit generic when rewatched today, but it's such a charming movie that washes over you like a rainbow unicorn made of chocolate, that this is an easy fault to forgive.
Grant is excellent here too, from his endearing speech at Angus and Laura's wedding to his inevitable confession of his love for Carrie. It's impossible to not feel uplifted when it's over, and with those bitterly cold winter days approaching, this one's the perfect weapon to combat them with.
