 1. Intolerable Cruelty (2001)

2. Bridget Jones' Diary (2001) as Daniel Cleaver

3. Small Time Crooks(2000)as David

Hugh said on the 16th of August 1999 about shooting this movie with Woody Allen(in a interview with questions from his fans):"[Woody keeps you] quite in the dark. There's no rehearsal, none of that sort of chit-chat. And, of course, you don't get the whole script. You just get your pages. I thought that worked fine. There was only one point where I turned a page and found that my character was suddenly in Italy, and I had absolutely no idea why I was in Italy. And I did have to say, you may have to help me out here."

4.Comic Relief: Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death (1999) (V) as The (Handsome) 12th Doctor

5. Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) as Michael Felgate

On the 16th of August 1999,Hugh answered questions of his fans. Carla Upton asked him:

" What was it like filming with James Caan?[in 'Mickey Blue Eyes']"

Hugh replied:"I think he likes to think that he's hard, but I think that he's an old softie. My real theory is that he fell in love with me during the filming. There's a lot of hugging and kissing in mob films. I started to notice that his hugs were lasting just a fraction longer than they really needed to last. And then there were looks -- the longing looks across the set. Then I'd get back to my apartment and find him curled up in a ball outside my front door. It was embarrassing! It is embarrassing when you've got to work together. And he started writing me poems... Anyway, we're over that. "

6. Notting Hill (1999)as William/Will Thacker

In an afterword for the book of the script of NH,Hugh Grant wrote :" During the lowest ebbs of shooting "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (…)Richard Curtis used to cheer me up by talking about the new film he was hatching, and what funny scenes he'd already thought up for me.
And in the years that followed, as I sat around flicking the pages of "Congo II" and thinking 'maybe there is something here', the only thing that kept me from signing on the dotted line was the thought that Richard's new script was just around the corner. It never was. Never has a human being taken longer to write a perfectly straightforward romantic comedy".

 

7.Extreme Measures (1996)as Dr. Guy Luthan

The journalist Leslie Rigoulot were talking about Hugh's characters in movies after 'Extreme Measure'action-role,on the 20th of September 1996 in a Film Scouts interview and he asked Hugh:" What about other genres? Hugh Grant as an action star? We saw you on the motorcycle."

Hugh then said:"Very butch. I got very into the action stuff and suggested that I wear an eye patch and a tank top. But they said it didn't go well with the white coat. No, I don't think that will wash."

 

8. Restoration (1995) as Elias Finn

9.Sense and Sensibility (1995) as Edward Ferrars. Pictures from 'Sense and Sensibility'.htm

Jane Ganahl of the S.Francisco Examiner Staff in 1996 asked Hugh:'He's worked with Emma Thompson twice, in "Impromptu" and "Sense and Sensibility." What was it like working with someone of her exalted status?'

Then Hugh said to her:"You can't ask me that, Emma's my contemporary! OK, I guess she's a little older, poor old thing. Anyway, she's OK -- but I don't get what all the fuss is about." Then he smiled and sighed. "No, I love Emma. She's phenomenally talented, damn her." 

Hugh has shooted movies made from novels since 'Maurice' until 'Sense and Sensibility'.At least for a while ,then he decided not to shoot other films of that kind.Vicky Glass reported recently:" When asked why he stopped making that kind of film, he replied, "You know I did so many of what we call in England 'frock flicks' that I kind of felt I had enough of that."

 

 10.Nine Months (1995) as Dr. Samuel 'Sam' Faulkner Stills of 'Nine Months'.htm

Jane Ganahl of the S.Francisco Examiner Staff in 1996 said to Hugh during her interview:"Let's talk about kissing. Who has been his favorite movie busser -- Andie Macdowell ("Four Weddings"), Julianne Moore ("Nine Months"), Judy Davis ("Impromptu"), Emma Thompson ("Sense and Sensibility")?

Hugh replied:"I would have to say . . . Tom Arnold. He improvised knocking me down on the sand in 'Nine Months' and putting his mouth on mine. He got a big laugh, so he did it several more times. That would be my fourth 'gay' role."

 

11.The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain (1995) as Reginald Anson

12.An Awfully Big Adventure(1995) as Meredith Potter

Ginia Bellafante wrote in the article 'Not Just Another Pretty Face. On screen and off, Hugh Grant drips charm, but he has a wicked side too.'(Reported by Georgia Harbison/New York and Barry Hillenbrand/Dublin ;TIME Domestic April 25, 1994 Volume 143, No. 17):"Newell is taking advantage of Grant's less sunny side in An Awfully Big Adventure, a period film in which Grant portrays a somewhat mean-spirited and domineering actor-director. "It's a bit upsetting," jokes Grant, "that Mike Newell cast me in Four Weddings because he thought I was a nice, fun-loving kind of guy. By the end of six weeks, he was ready to cast me as my unpleasant real self."

13.The Changeling (1994) (TV) as Alsemero

14.Sirens (1994) as Rev. Anthony Campion

15.Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) as Charles Stills from 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'.htm

In an interview in May1999 Hugh said: "I also had an experience [of not being recognized]right before Four Weddings came out in England. I was in a cinema and the trailer was on for the film and two guys had sat down next to me," Grant remembered. "The voice said, 'you are invited to Four Weddings and a Funeral' and the bloke on my right said 'I don't think so'. Then the lights came up between the trailers and the main feature. I could see them looking at me and recognizing me, and then the lights went down again. I heard them having this furious conversation, 'should we move?' 'No, no I'm not moving! why should I move?' It was depressing at that time when the movie hadn't come out and I thought, 'my G-d the whole world is sitting there watching this trailer saying - I don't think so'."

 

16.Night Train to Venice (1993) as Martin Gamil

17.The Remains of the Day (1993) as Cardinal

On the 16th of August 1999,Hugh answered questions of his fans.Amy Johnston from Edwardsville, IL asked him: "If you could pick one of your movies as your favourite, which one would it be? Why? "

Hugh replied :" Well, my favorite movie to shoot would have to be 'Sirens,' because, you know, it was me and four naked models. That was tolerable. Best movie I've ever been in would have to be 'Remains of the Day.' Nobody even knows I'm in that film. "

 

18.Bitter Moon (1992) as Nigel
... aka Lunes de fiel (1992) (France)

In 2000, Joshua Klein ,during an interview for 'The Onion AV',said to Hugh:"You've worked with both Ken Russell and Roman Polanski, who are two of the more colorful directors around".

Hugh then said:" They're incredibly different. Roman['Bitter Moon' director'] is barking mad and an incessant control freak. He wants to do everyone's job for them. If you're the actor, he'll say, [affects Polish accent] "Oh, for fuck's sake. It's not, 'Can I have the cup of tea?'; it's, 'Can I have the cup of tea?' Now do it again"

 19.Impromptu (1991) as Frederic Chopin

 21. Our Sons (1991) (TV) as James

 23.Till We Meet Again (1989) (TV) as Bruno de Lancel
... aka Judith Krantz's 'Till We Meet Again' (1989) (TV) (USA: complete title)

Joshua Klein ,during an interview for 'The Onion AV',said to Hugh: "You do play a mild-mannered Englishman in both films[in 'Notting Hill'and in 'Mickey Blue Eyes']".

Hugh then said:" Yes, I suppose so. It's ironic always to be asked that question, because in the first part of my career I was doing these bad miniseries, and I played an awful lot of villains. So I would sit through these interviews, and they were always the same. [Affects vaguely Eastern European accent.] "You are always the same. You always play bad man. When you play good man?" So it's odd when people point out that I never play villains."

 

 24.Champagne Charlie (1989) (TV) as Charles Heidsieck

 30.Lord Elgin and Some Stones of Nor Value (1987) (TV)

 31.Maurice (1987) as Clive Durham

Answering his fans' questions,Hugh said on the 16th of August 1999: "I always thought James Ivory ['Remains of the Day'and 'Maurice' director] was the most silent director that I ever met, but he has nothing on Woody Allen. I often think I'd like to put them in a room together, arrange a lunch, put a camera in there and see if they actually talked."
