- Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) The original and still the best. Accept no imitations. Yes, Andie McDowell is wooden as a door and “Is it raining? I hadn’t noticed” is a contender for one of the most ludicrous lines in cinema but it’s still a cracking ending.
- Notting Hill (1999) A film that inspires near-deranged fandom in certain dank corners of the internet, Notting Hill was Curtis’s attempt to repeat the international success of Four Weddings and is arguably the more polished piece.
- Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001) The casting of Texan actress Zellweger in Curtis’s adaptation of Helen Fielding’s comic novel, which was originally a column in The Independent, caused uproar on announcement but her Method commitment to the role won over all doubters.
- About Time (2013) Domhnall Gleeson made a game leading man in the writer’s not-wholly-successful attempt to introduce magic realism to Curtisland. While his character’s discovery that the menfolk of his family can travel through time is riddled with plot holes and logic problems, the film’s Cornish locations are unusual and Bill Nighy is very moving as the dying patriarch, urging his son to make the most of his gifts before it’s too late.
