Four Weddings And A Funeral
1994
A group of London friends navigate a series of weddings and one funeral over several years, as the charming but commitment-shy Charles gradually realises that the one woman he truly loves might be slipping out of reach. Richard Curtis's witty screenplay and Hugh Grant's bumbling charm made this one of the defining British romantic comedies of the 1990s.
