Poll: Face-Off: Four Weddings and a Funeral

"Four occasions to laugh, one to cry: five to meditate about love and life..."

Many romantic comedies culminate with a kiss that means love forever and... if not marriage, we can at least bet on long-term commitment.

And this is why Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), one of the biggest hits of the glorious 1994 -two nominations for Best Screenplay and Best Picture- was such a refreshing 'romantic comedy': a cheerful celebration of that magical day that sets a 'before' and an 'after' in our lives, starts in all pompous solemnity and ends with fun, laugh, booze... and maybe a few years later regrets.

Still, even unsuccessful marriages end up being more insightful than the others (if only because they do 'end up') and the film also puts the notion of commitment into perspective even questioning its compatibility with real love. How many "rom-coms" dared to ask whether love could really last forever.

If not definite answers, the film provides some hints through four marital experiences and one funeral with the perfect balance between humor, slapstick and wit, in pure British fashion... with some American spice on it. Since the five titular events and their direct aftermaths occupy almost 95% of the screen-time, the question is quite simple:

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the classic British comedy, which of the four titular weddings and funeral was your favorite sequence?
