Spring doesn't just mean hay fever and denim bomber jackets: weddings come back in season once the sun comes out to play again. Instantly the passive aggressive mine-was-better social media photo shares start flowing freely, and while for the most part it's lovely to see people celebrate a long-awaited union, sometimes, it can get a little cloying. I'll say what we're all thinking: more than once I've chastized myself for rolling my eyes at a real wedding, but without fail, I've shed a tear at more than a dozen on-screen weddings which don't even concern real people. It's a problem that I'm hoping other people share, because while friends are responding to RSVPs and trying to decide what to wear, I'm still thinking of my top on-screen movie moments instead:

Monsoon Wedding might be an older classic, but it is one of the most lush and sensitive portrayals of a non-white marriage on the big screen to date. Featuring a rock-solid ensemble cast of veteran Indian actors, this under-the-surface plunge into scarred family histories and the clash between conservative mores and contemporary notions of love is as heartbreaking as it is healing.
