9. Four Weddings and a Funeral (1998)
Couplehood: American beauty Carrie (Andie MacDowell) catches the eye and heart of British bachelor Charles (Hugh Grant) at a wedding. The attraction is undeniable and the universe seems to be on their side as they unexpectedly meet again and again.
Iffy issues: Carrie and Charles would make the perfect couple except for a couple of setbacks–Carrie is engaged and Charles is non-committal. He is described by his friends as a "serial monogamist" or a man who is content to just hop from one relationship to another. Despite this, the two are clearly perfect for each other. Unfortunately, they hold back their feelings because of their hang-ups.
Sweet spoiler: Surprisingly, Charles ends up almost marrying one of his ex-girlfriends. On the wedding day (which is wedding number four), Carrie appears with news that she's separated. Finally, Charles follows his heart. He cancels the wedding and does the classic "kiss under the rain" with Carrie.
Life lesson: Cussing tends to sound better with an English accent.
10. Here Comes the Bride (2010)
Couplehood: Stephanie (Angelica Panganiban) bags the "Maria Clara" award–shy, sheltered and conservative. Her fiancé, Harold (Tom Rodriguez) is her perfect match–good-looking, willing to wait and comes from a respectable family.
Iffy issues: On the way to her beach wedding, Stephanie gets involved in a car accident along with other people headed for the ceremony. The accident, in sync with the solar eclipse that day, displaces the souls of five people. The souls end up going back to the wrong bodies. The bride finds herself in the body of her ninang (Eugene Domingo), an uptight and assertive lawyer. The ninang is transferred into the body of the yaya (Tuesday Vargas) who is extremely passive and always abused by her ward. The soul of the yaya shifts to the body of the lolo (Jaime Fabregas), a 69-year old rich man. The lolo finds himself in the youthful body of the gay beautician (John Lapus). And finally, the soul of the gay beautician takes over the body of the bride. Naturally, the mix-ups create chaos.
Life lesson: At times, life feels like an out-of-body experience.
