Hugh Grant – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · March 30, 2026

Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Love Actually defined the floppy-haired rom-com era, but Paddington 2’s comic villain might be the most purely delightful thing he’s done, and The Gentlemen and Wonka show a sharper later-career pivot. Music and Lyrics has a washed-up 80s pop star writing a hit, Wonka makes him an Oompa-Loompa opposite Timothee Chalamet, The Gentlemen gives him a sleazy tabloid journalist, and Florence Foster Jenkins protects his wife from the truth about her singing. About a Boy and Bridget Jones’s Diary round out the list.
