  30 years later and that funeral speech still just guts me...

  "Stop All The Clocks," the W. H. Auden poem that Matthew read at the funeral of his love, Gareth, chokes me up every time. It so perfectly describes the depth of grief.

  When Carly said "this is our movie" it warmed my heart, i am so glad you both loved it! No one ever reacts to this British classic and your reaction was so great. This was nominated for best picture alongside Shawshank Redemption, Forest Gump and Pulp Fiction. The humour is so quintessentially British and this movie is really treasured here in England so it was great to see a huge reaction channel like yours give it a chance

  As beloved as Notting Hill and Love Actually are, Four Weddings - which predated both - was a complete phenomenon when it arrived, a pop cultural juggernaut. And it immediately shot Hugh Grant, pretty much an unknown at the time, to the stratosphere. For me, it's still Richard Curtis' masterpiece. (Though I agree with you that Carrie's treatment of Charles is dubious at best).

  Gareth's death gets me everytime. Simon Callow is an amazing actor, and he played his part to perfection. I go from laughing so much to tears in an instant. Love this movie. Great reaction ladies. ❤✌

  Sadly, Charlotte Coleman who played Charles’ housemate Scarlett died of an asthma attack in 2001. She was a well known actress from childhood in the UK. It was a real tragedy.

  I think I just realized that this is the first movie I ever watched with a gay love story. At least the first that I can remember.<br><br>&quot;That would be... mice&quot; is one of my favorite romantic moments.<br><br>When Scarlett is talking to the gorgeous American and compliments Steve Martin, the actor is Steve Martin&apos;s son.

  I met this beautiful girl a the Munich Festival in 1994. Fell in love with her while she handed out my accreditation. Found the courage to ask her out on the spot to see one of the movie premieres. I picked &quot;Four weddings and a funeral&quot; just for the title and the cast. Nobody had any idea then how big this little movie was going to be. We had a ball. <br>I ended up like Fi. She only liked me, I was smitten. Nothing came from it, but I still have fond memories whenever &quot;Four weddings&quot; is on. <br>You can&apos;t always get what you want. But you gotta try. <br>Happy Ends come mostly then when you least expect them.

  I know people talk about the funeral, but I always break at Charles going to find Matthew with the news, and Matthew being blissfully unaware.

  I&apos;ve shared the W.H. Auden poem with several people in their grief. And it helped me when my parents died.

  One of the things I like to remember is that Carrie (movie Carrie) says to Charles at the end of their encounter before his wedding - in response to him expressing uncertainty about getting through the wedding OK - &quot;Just say &apos;I do&apos; every time you get asked a question.&quot; <br>And when he&apos;s in front of the altar, next to Duckface, being asked by the vicar <b>&quot;Do</b> you love someone else?&quot; he says &quot;I do.&quot; <br>(Someone else pointed that out to me so thank you to them.)

  Thought you&apos;d like to know: the deleted scenes from this movie explain the relationships between the friends. Gareth was a lecturer at the university Charles, Matthew, and Fiona attended. Tom is Fiona&apos;s brother, they are part of a wealthy aristocratic family. David is Charles&apos; younger brother. Scarlett woke up under a table at Charles&apos; flat the morning after a party, and moved in because he needed a roommate. <br><br>Bear in mind I am remembering this from watching it something like twenty five years ago, so please forgive any inaccuracies.
