Ranking the best Colin Firth movies…Bridget Jones’ Diary is only #3 on this list and I totally think it should be #1. [Wonderwall]
Kirsten Dunst accidentally got super-high on Woodshock. [The Blemish]
Are you into Taron Egerton? I couldn’t care less. [LaineyGossip]
There’s a video of Laurence O’Donnell losing his mind. [Dlisted]
Serena Williams wrote an open letter to her mom & it’s awesome. [Buzzfeed]
Kate Upton doesn’t do casual clothes that well. [Popoholic]
I hope Paul Manafort squeals like a pig. [Pajiba]
Is it just me or does it feel like no one cares about Blade Runner 2049? [IDLY]
Cheryl Burke: Abby Lee Miller ‘traumatized’ the girls. [Seriously OMG WTF]
I’m not into Rene Grincourt. He’s a bit Dave Navarro-ish. [Socialite Life]
Colin Firth ruled in “The Kingsmen”. Done.
100%
It was amazing to see him in that type of role.
He did. Too bad the sequel is apparently garbage.
I was an extra in that film. Colin Firth shot me. And then thanked me very politely.
Now I love him even more
Best comment ever!
He was great as Harry in Kingsmen. But I have to say it was Mark Strong that did it for me in that movie. Woof!
I disliked the movie, but it was a unique role for him and he did it well.
Meggles, that’s really a great story!
Kingsman was sooooo much better than it had any right to be. If I had twenty bucks, I’d be at the sequel right this instant.
No way. Pride and Prejudice all the way. Mr. Darcy forever!
P&P was a miniseries, not a movie! The list is of his best movies!
He’s looking so fine now. Damn, Mr. Darcy.
Oh heavens no. The list got the top two right, though I might reverse their order. Bridget Jones should be further down than 3.
The Pride and Prejudice mini series, all the way. But I did love him in BJD.
“Bridget Jones” his best film? Think not: “The King’s Speech”, “Love Actually”, and my two personal favorites: “Girl with A Pearl Earring” and as Bill Hayden the traitor mole in “Tinker Tailor”. I can also recommend one of his least seen films, the very distinctive indie, “Where the Truth Lies”. Do not agree with the BJ assessment at ALL.
I’m with you. The King’s Speech, Love Actually and Girl with A Pearl Earring.
But he’ll still forever be Mr. Darcy to me.
I am so glad you mentioned TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY. I love that film.
Agree, he was AMAZING in The King’s speech & The Kingsmen
I’m with you, bluhare.
Yes.
Even the stupid list says he plays the traitor in Tinker, Tailor! And then says you have to watch the movie several times to figure it out… Just gah.
And no, every Bridget Jones movie ever made were not better than The English Patient and Shakespeare in Love. Dumb list.
Totally agree! Loved him in The King’s Speech.
The Hour of the Pig or Where the Truth Lies. I keep getting movie names wrong today.
No issues with the top spot here. This list just makes me realize what a stellar career he’s had. Lots of movies to check out!
And yeah, it’s a mini-series, but P&P gets a special award!
‘A Single Man’ was Firth at his outstanding, understated best.
+1000
I looooooved that film. So moving.
Just came here to say the same thing – he was amazing in A Single Man.
I liked him in that too. It was such a visually lovely film too, I was so disappointed with Ford’s next one, Nocturnal Animals.
Wow I think his role in What A Girl Wants is way undervalued – he danced in leather pants for goodness sake. I’m not saying too spot or even top ten just a little more credit than second to last! Darcy forever!
Omg I forgot that one!
God no, A Single Man and Tinker Tailor all the way.
Girl with a Pearl Earring is the most erotic thing I’ve ever watched. The stillness and quiet of the overall film makes the sexual tension deafening. My heart races when I watch that movie. It was one of the biggest surprises in film.
I love What A Girl Wants. Of course I always dreamed my long lost father was secretly someone rather cool rather than a deadbeat so it speaks to me strongly.
But I’ve also always appreciate Colin Firth for completely different reasons…lol…
I care about Taron!! Me, right here!! I’ll take both him and Bill Skarsgard 🙂
Pride and Predjusice. That is all.
Well I lied. I do have more to say. Ican’t wait to see Bladerunner. If Harrison Ford gets to dictate that this script kills off Decker (as he did with Solo) I will be furious.
Oh please. No VALMONT on that list??? Pffft.
@Vesta – Ooohhh, I forgot about “Valmont”! Thanks for the reminder. It was pretty much a tossup between it and “Dangerous Liaisons” with Malkovich, Close, and Pfeiffer, except that I thought Firth walked off with the former and Close with the latter (even factoring in Malkovich’s amazing performance).
Loved him in The English Patient.
@Jaded – Have you ever seen the Seinfeld episode with Elaine and her sentiments about “The English Patient”?
seesittellsit, I died over that episode. I liked THE ENGLISH PATIENT, but I did not love it. My favorite film of that year was FARGO.
I loved how much Elaine hated that movie, and I say that as someone who loved the English Patient.
The Kings Speech, outstanding.
A Single Man all the way!
how is it possible that any list of Colin Firth’s best movies does not include The Advocate (aka Hour of the Pig) or Apartment Zero?!
Yes! Both are great movies!
I personally love Nanny McPhee myself.
I was watching this band play at a house party recently and the singer was chatting about his songs. He mentioned one song about a Darcy and said, “there aren’t too many people named Darcy.” In unison, at least half the women there exclaimed, “MISTER Darcy!”
I love Colin Firth. He’s been my “old dude crush” since the age of 16.
Popoholic is ridiculous, stop linking to them!
