When Prince Ludvig finished speaking, […] it was finally Simon’s turn. He stood by his seat between his husband and the Prince Consort, waiting for the applause to die down and for a microphone to be placed in front of him. He still looked a little nervous, but not overly so that an untrained eye might catch it.

The Wedding Banquet (1993) is number 720 on Halliwell’s Top 1000.
Editor John Walker gave the film three stars and wrote “A delightful comedy of culture clashes, racial and generational differences and the problems of living up to your parents’ expectations; it makes light of situations without concealing their truth and occasional pain.”
My rating - above average
The Wedding Banquet premiered Feb 1993 in Berlin, Mar 5 in Taiwan, and Aug 4 in the USA. After re-watching it, it is a strong honorable mention, and perhaps an entry among my best 1,001.
