[YT Edit] Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
Added 2024-12-04 01:33:42 +0000 UTC
Hey guys! Here is the YT edit for "Four Weddings and a Funeral" which will premiere shortly!
How the frack did that happen? An undercooked Duck à l'orange should've beat Howard...with or without the mad dash to the bathroom.

I wish McLintock! would not have lost to Howard the Duck in the YT live poll.

McLintock! (1963) brings them back together, a western version of The Taming of the Shrew - has always been one of my favorite Duke movies...also Chisum (1970).

Not a western, but she reacted to The Quiet Man.
"Here's a good stick, to beat the lovely lady."

I first watched Dead Poets Society 35 years ago. I rewatched Dead Poets Society last month -- been years since I rewatched. I like it.

She said she's seen Pride and Prejudice dozens of times. Shocking she hasn't seen Sense and Sensibility with Hugh Grant yet.

Between Love Actually and this movie, I'm beginning to think Richard Curtis strongly believes that there's nothing more romantic than breaking up a relationship to steal someone away by messing with them emotionally 😂

@Mike Lemon - It felt like that one year Robin Williams really wanted to push back against his image with the characters he played in One Hour Photo and Insomnia back to back 😂

@Chris Thom - I did see Heretic and liked it a lot and am looking forward to rewatching it when it comes out on home video. It's a very dialogue heavy movie that takes place almost entirely in one location, so it almost could be done as a stage play. There are some absolutely fantastic discussions about religion in that movie, both critical of and in praise of.
I would wholeheartedly recommend really to anyone, but I would wonder if it falls in Cassie's "no watch" category just because of all the religious stuff in it. But then again, I'm not totally clear exactly what makes movies qualify for that list, I've just been told that stuff like Rosemary's Baby is a no go because of the religion stuff (although Heretic doesn't involve anything supernatural like demonic possession or anything like that).

I had similar feelings watching this as Cassie did Howard the Duck. Blah.

Had been waiting forever for this favorite of mine. I knew the ladies would love it. Still more Hugh Grant movie gems out there.

2024-12-05 21:20:37 +0000 UTC
Yep, Cassie would enjoy “Rio Bravo”. Maybe more than the other Wayne movies. J Wayne, old stumpy!, Dean Martin in his prime as well as Ricky Nelson!
It’s old fashioned good guys vs Bad guys. A fun filled action jaunt. Little love story thrown in for good measure.
Also I just checked, it’s got a 96% rating on RT!
But I still personally prefer “The Searchers”

Lastly, someone has uploaded the entire DVD commentary of Four Weddings on YouTube, featuring director Mike Newell, writer Richard Curtis and producer Duncan Kenworthy. It's an interesting listen, they pay tribute to Charlotte Coleman (who played Scarlett) at 3:17. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqbQcbKHJr8

There is also a very funny, amusing clip of the film's ending being parodied on The Graham Norton show in 2014, (30 years after the release of the film), featuring Hugh Grant himself! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh4H3-6f-TY

Only knew Mike Newell from that Harry Potter movie. No idea he directed this. Very different films. But I know this had a huge box office for a British film at the time, so it makes sense.
Chris Thom
2024-12-05 13:18:18 +0000 UTC
There is a really good BBC documentary about Four Weddings, called I Love 1994, on YouTube. It is discussed at 18:46. It has interviews with the director Mike Newell and some of the cast, Simon Callow, James Fleet, Anna Chancellor and Charlotte Coleman (who sadly died later that same year she was interviewed in 2001) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmZ55i4tiHM

Gentlemen. I was going to comment on your superb choices of Robin Williams movies (the man had an impressive resumế), but my phone started ringing:
"Hello?.......Cassie. It's for you. It's God. He wants you to watch Dead Poets Society."
Clarence Newman

Sons of Katie Elder is my favourite Wayne, but the best one for Cassie might be Rio Bravo. Tell me she wouldn't adore Stumpy!

British media looked pretty dated until about 1998. But with the success of Call the Midwife it really seems like they like it that way.

2024-12-05 00:49:29 +0000 UTC
Didn't know Best of Times existed until last year. Thought I'd seen all of Robin Williams' movies.
Chris Thom

Cant believe it’s been 30 years since I saw this at the cinema, and can’t believe how dated everything looks in it.
Ria Grix
2024-12-05 00:32:06 +0000 UTC
Or The Best Of Times, with Robin and Kurt Russell replaying a high school football game 15 years later. Kurt Russell has some skills, he was a really good baseball player growing up and his dad bought a minor league team back in the 70's (great documentary on Netflix - The Battered Bastards of Baseball (2014))...or you could try The World According to Garp (1982).

Which makes me think it's got more to do with the $$$ than in watching real classic movies (which I can't really fault her for). Too many cooks in the kitchen gives you the runs, and with only one subscription, one vote doesn't offer me a lot of hope for getting my choices heard above the maddening crowd. I'll try, but I'm not holding my breath.
crazyivan
2024-12-05 00:18:18 +0000 UTC
Just one John Wayne? At the least, she needs to watch The Cowboys (to see why everyone in our generation hates Bruce Dern) and his last movie, The Shootist.

As strange as it sounds, I think I prefer the recent bad guy roles that Hugh Grant has been in. He makes a good villain.

Apt description of the show. But I was just kidding. I don't think they'd like it at all. Or if they did, they would probably have to lie about it.

There was a bit of gratuitous sex though.

Great reaction ladies, I think this one was a no-brainer for you two. Such a enjoyable movie, funny and heart warming, with just your sort of ending.
If you haven’t seen it already, I highly recommend “The Kings Speech” another, you would both enjoy.
Mark White
2024-12-04 19:49:18 +0000 UTC
Now I haven’t seen “Sliding Doors” but I really should because, how often do you hear people say “it was a Sliding doors moment in my life”?! I know what it means, Ive said it myself!
Mark White
2024-12-04 19:36:15 +0000 UTC
I would like to recommend a couple of 1990ies british romcoms as it seems you like this one. Sliding Doors (john Hannah and Gwyneth Paltrow. And Jack and Sarah (with Ian McKennen as a homeless guy among others in great cast).

This was a good one for the ladies...We all know what Cassie and Carly prefer - give it to them....1. a happy ending. 2. action/comedy w/ a little romance. 3. no gratuitous sex or violence. I'm giving it until the end of 2025 to see if y'all can do that. I have 40-50 movies (from the 30's to present) that have touched me in ways that make them favorites to me, and I'd like to share them with someone who seems to have the same preferences as I do. Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, James Stewart, Deborah Kerr, Audrey Hepburn, Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Anthony Quinn, Gene Hackman, John Wayne, Donald Sutherland, Lee Marvin, James Garner, Julie Andrews, James Coburn, Joanne Woodward, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif, Alec Guinness are just the tip of the iceberg for Hollywood legends. Let's upgrade her cinematic education just a little, folks....and more westerns, dammit.

Yeh the word bugger is a particularly harmless word here in the U.K. A very upper class way of calling someone a pain… a cad, a scoundrel, a rotter, a swine etc.
In the same way that you might refer to someone as a cow or a bitch you’re not literally saying that you believe that the person is an actual bovine or female dog, so here the word bugger is not actually referring to the act of anal sex.
Ria Grix
2024-12-04 09:22:10 +0000 UTC
A few observations.
1) Once and for all, the word "bugger" CAN mean anal sex, but in the context Hugh uses it, it's no more offensive or meaningful than "dammit" (just like Carly said.)
2) I am always miffed, nay cut to the quick, when a really good actor Cassie has already met comes on screen and there's not a flicker of recognition. I don't think she's seen Amadeus, but she certainly knows John Hannah from The Mummy, yet there was not even a smidge of recognition. (I may be spoiled here, because I think her reaction to the appearance of Tom Hardy in Nemesis recently was absolutely adorable.) At least Andie MacDowell "seemed familiar", although I would expect her to recognise her from Groundhog Day.
3) I'm not surprised she didn't recognise this one, but at the first wedding, one of the guests they do a close-up on (in the half-rimmed glasses) was Jean-Luc Picard's brother in the TNG episode "Family".
4) I believe the sisters absolutely when they say they've never seen this movie. My only question is......how??? It's like me being an 80s action movie fan who watched all the Stallones and Schwarzeneggers and Van Dammes and such, but never got around to watching Die Hard.
5) Finally, Andie MacDowell has always taken a lot of crap over her delivery of the line "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed." She's a pretty good actress, so I think it's probably the line. Then again, Rene Zellweger managed to get away with saying "Jimmy, you're the champion of my heart" without such vitriol so maybe it takes a special talent.
Clarence Newman
2024-12-04 09:07:56 +0000 UTC
Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, and Peter Firth (as well as Mrs. Fawlty), in a movie named after a line from Peter Pan. How bad could it be?
:-P
Yep, certainly not light fare.
(Then again, I've seen ... the movie making the case that Dreykov from Black Widow was father of the year material.)

Somewhat more Popcorny would be Sliding Doors (1998), alongside Gwyneth Paltrow.

I'm guessing Heretic might end up on the "no watch list" due to religious reasoning. However, there is a YT channel called Cinema Therapy that's run by two LDS members who complimented the portrayal of the Mormon characters in the movie as possibly the best they'd ever seen in a mainstream movie and they both really liked it, so I don't think it was necessarily an anti-religion film. It's definitely provocative, but isn't gory or violent or anything like that. I have no idea what Cassie would think of it, but it wouldn't shock me if it's a flat veto due to the subject matter (religion).

Bugger is anal sex, usually homosexual. Best not to call your sister that.
As the saying goes. "Rum, buggery and the last made the British Navy."

This movie is such rewarding... I don't really consider myself a romantic, but John Hannahs monolog crushes me every time...
Heck, maybe I am a romantic after all?...
