There are movies that feature weddings, and then there are wedding movies—as in, Hollywood flicks focused almost exclusively on the lead-up to walking down the aisle. It’s a surprisingly robust genre; but then again, weddings are often billed as the biggest day of one’s life, marked both by love and a life-altering decision. Sounds like a scenario perfect for plot development, if you ask me.
Below, find the best wedding movies ever, from classic rom-coms (NB: if it stars Julia Roberts or Hugh Grant, watch it), to moody dramas and indie darlings.
Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
As the title suggests, this film is set over the course of four weddings and a funeral—and the many hiccups, hilarities, and heartbreaks that occur therein, especially between Hugh Grant’s Charles and Andie MacDowell’s Carrie. It’s the first film Grant made with director Richard Curtis (later works would include Notting Hill and Bridget Jones’s Diary), and the one that made him a household name. To this day, it’s considered one of the best British films of all time.
