Poll question: What is your favorite "Wedding" movie??

I was just clicking through the TV Program guide and noticed a lot of "Wedding" themed movies playing this weekend, which caused me to wonder: What is your favorite "Wedding" movie (with the word "Wedding" in the Title)?? I know there are too many to list, so if I have missed one, please add your favorite!

1. I'll go with Wedding Crashers.

[Catchawave]

5. Me too !

"I saw it in the theater and bought the DVD" that good :hi:

[kwassa]

2. "Muriel's Wedding" is a great, great movie.

an incisive commentary on the wedding culture.

Another film: "Four Weddings and a Funeral", of course.

[Blue Belle]

3. Argh!! I forgot Four Weddings and a Funeral!!!

I LOVED that movie (despite Andie McDowell). :)

[bigwillq]

4. I hated that movie.

I hate Hugh Grant

[Catchawave]

6. I love Hugh Grant, but

He's just not Wedding Crashers funny. I liked his "9 months" w/Julianne Moore, that's about it.

14. That was my issue with the movie, too

Cardboard cutout Andie. :puke: She's a beautiful woman, but...they could have used so many other actors that had chops. :shrug:

The rest of it was fantastic! (but Andie does a serious detriment to the movie, in my eyes)

[Blue Belle]

19. She was so bad...

The rest of the cast was fantastic, but I have never seen a movie with Andie McDowell where she wasn't wooden in every frame. :eyes:

[smirkymonkey]

27. I agree - she pretty much ruined an otherwise charming movie.

She's a terrible actress, imho.

[Catchawave]

7. Fun Topic Blue Belle !

Makes me miss the old, uhm, movie THREADS, LOL....I nominate you to start one :hi: and :loveya:

Seriously :hug:

[Blue Belle]

13. Ah... Catchawave... my partner in crime!!

If I started a movie thread, I'm sure there would be a movement to get my name tombstoned in the DU lounge!! :+

[Catchawave]

26. I think we DU need a fun thread :)

PM me if you decide to start one :hi: I'll be happy to help!

8. Fat Greek Wedding

made me laugh again and again. I guess since I know some greek friends and family.

[bigwillq]

9. I laughed like crazy

the first time I saw that movie.

But then the second time around, I think I was just caught up in the hype. I don't know. IT just wasn't good the second viewing.

[Blue Belle]

17. Big, Fat, Great, Wedding is a film everyone with a big family can...

identify with. I have a huge family... and while they may not be big fat greek eaters, they are big fat eaters none the less. This is totally going to be my wedding (which makes eloping sound better and better every day). :)

[AtomicKitten]

10. Four Weddings and a Funeral

[Kat45]

11. Other: "The Wedding Banquet"

I really liked "Muriel's Wedding" and "My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding" but I'd say "The Wedding Banquet" is my favorite.

[Squeech]

22. Excellent

Very cool film about a gay male couple, one of whom feels he has to stage a traditional wedding with an ethnically appropriate woman in order to please his traditional parents.

Exactly the movie I was going to mention :yourock:

[Lavender Brown]

12. I love Muriel's Wedding

Also: Father of the Bride and Philadelphia Story. :)

[Blue Belle]

15. OMG... they had a documentary on Cary Grant on PBS the other night...

They showed clips of Philadelphia Story (among others, obviously) but I had no idea that he was the only person NOT nominated for an Oscar in that movie. Jimmy Stewart won Best Actor for that movie!! Increadible! I loved Philadelphia Story and thought it was a shame that Cary Grant didn't get more recognition. He was great in that film.

20. I LOVE Muriel's Wedding

Background: Coach is trying to find a woman in Oz to marry his South African athlete, so he can compete in the Olympics.
He wrote an ad in the paper, and Muriel responds.

When she's sitting by the pool, awestruck by this magnificent blonde South African swimmer (an Olympic hopefull = body of a god) and the coach/go-between, mentions about the problems with racism in South Africa.

Muriel...staring at Adonis, blurts out "what's the problem? Are you black?"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

And dammit...I LOVED all that ABBA music! It's one of the very, very few movies I have on DVD...because I watch it a lot.

[NMMNG]

24. I love that movie

She spends so much of it being obsessed with getting married so she can "finally be somebody". Then after marrying that hunk of an Olympic swimmer she comes to realize she doesn't need marriage to be a somebody, she always has been a somebody. I love that message.

[alittlelark]

16. "Father of the Bride"

Sooooo funny - damn - it's MY Dad!!!

[Blue Belle]

18. Which one??

The Steve Martin version or the Spencer Tracy version??

[Telly Savalas]

21. Monsoon Wedding

Great flick.

[Ron Green]

23. Second that.

[sarge43]

25. Robert Altman's The Wedding

Agreed, not one of his best, but some great 'wedding from hell' moments.

[KatyaR]

28. "High Society"--

it's sorta a wedding movie. I love Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra singing in the bar . . . .
