Happy Birthday, Mike Newell! Celebrating the man who gave us unforgettable cinematic moments—from charmingly awkward weddings to hilariously chaotic funerals. Your BAFTA-winning direction in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" still makes us laugh, cry, and cringe at wedding speeches decades later.Whether you're orchestrating wizarding tournaments in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," or bringing Dickensian drama alive in "Great Expectations," your storytelling magic never fades. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer mishaps than Charles's romantic escapades—but just as much laughter!
Cheers to you, Mike—may your day be award-worthy (and funeral-free)!
