Vote for your favorite Colin Firth role!

[supernova]

What's your favorite of Colin's roles?

I haven't seen them all yet and I'm enjoying discovering his work. So far I've seen: Pride & Prejudice (of course!), Conspiracy, Bridget Jones Acts I and II, and a guest role he had on BlackAdder Back and Forth as Will Shakespeare.

I'm posting some I haven't seen yet, but hope to soon, thanks to amazon. :-)

1. I was tempted to vote for "Girl with the Pear Earring"

;-)

But I had to go with P&P

:loveya:

[supernova]

2. lol! I fixed it.

"Pear" earring. :eyes: :D

Edit: You know I saw that several months ago, because I'm a big Vermeer fan. I was so interested in how they would stage the paintings, that I didn't realize it was CF! I'll have to go back and watch it for him now.

17. was Girl With a Pearl Earring good?

I keep meaning to read the book and see the movie.

I agree that Firth is very sexy. I liked him in that "girl finds her father in England" movie with Lindsay Lohan, I forget what it was called.

[gollygee]

19. What A Girl Wants

is that Lindsay Lohan? I think it's someone else.

It was pretty good for a teen flick though. Or maybe it was just Colin :loveya:

[supernova]

22. A lot of people trashed What a Girl Wants

and you know, for what it is and who it's for, it's a pretty good movie. We should all be so lucky to meet parents who want a relationship with us. To often, teens in that situation don't get that support.

3. I'm going to start sounding like a broken record.

Pride and Prejudice by far, but I really really enjoyed The Girl with the Pearl Earring because of Scarlett Johansson. :)

[supernova]

5. It really is a good movie

The MiL made me so claustrophobic though.

[djeseru]

15. You're not kidding.

As well as his wife, yikes. I agree with you - I also loved how they staged the room for his paintings...it made me re-examine his work and the details in his canvases.

[supernova]

33. Same here

The movie made it feel like he focused on his painting to escape them. I don't know if that's true or not. but wow, I think I'd be painting all day too if I had to live with those two.

4. Pride and Prejudice becasue it's the only thing I have seem him in

[supernova]

6. Watch the two Bridget Jones movies

They are hilarious because he plays a 20th Century Mr Darcy. :D

[barb162]

39. Oh okay, I saw those. He's great in those movies

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear supernova!

EVERYTHING that man does is gold, pure gold!

But I especially loved him in "Love Actually."

So, I voted "other."

Astonishingly good, no make that great actor......

I'd forgotten him in "Girl with the Pearl Earring."

Amazing.....

:hi:

[supernova]

10. Ah, I forgot about L,A!

Thanks for reminding me Peggy!

I loved that storyline where they understand while speaking different languages. :-) :loveya:

[caty]

36. Ditto!!

:applause:

[WolverineDG]

8. Bridgit Jones

Because he's had to play every form of Mr. Darcy known to man. I was disappointed that they re-wrote the 2nd script & took out Bridgit's interview with Colin Firth. I wanted to see him play himself AND Mr. Darcy in the same movie!

[supernova]

11. It's in the extras on the DVD

It's quite cute! But they said it was impossible to keep in the movie because it would have been too confusing to have him be Darcy and Himself.

[WolverineDG]

20. Baloney!

Anyone who read the book would know that was coming up! Ptooey to those who didn't read the book!

:P

dg

[supernova]

23. Sorry, I haven't read the book yet

:P

[WolverineDG]

27. OMG, you have to

it's even funnier than the first!

dg

[supernova]

32. I'll look for it

I think Helen Fielding is a great writer.

[WolverineDG]

35. If you like her

you'll also like Sophie Kinsella. :)

[henslee]

9. Wasn't he in Valmont? That was a good one.

[supernova]

12. That's one I'm really dying to see

[henslee]

14. Yeah, I liked it better than Dangerous Liasons. Sometimes Milos

Foreman nails it. And I like Meg Tilly who doesn't seem to work too much. Annette Benning and Jeffrey Jones are in it too.

[Autonomy]

13. Your forgot Love Actually

[ComerPerro]

16. I vote for Love Actually

[blue neen]

18. I DREAM of Mr. Darcy.

He's the ultimate in sexy. :P

I didn't particularly care for Colin in "The English Patient." It wasn't really him, it was the role he was playing. The same can be said for his character in "Shakespeare in Love."

[supernova]

21. I agree with you

It's kinda disturbing that he does whiny, neurotic guy a little too well. :P

[Ava]

24. i'm surprised "Love Actually" isn't on the list

i thought that was a great movie!

[Deja Q]

25. I love role-playing, does that count?

:rofl:

[supernova]

26. Are you Colin Firth or do you play him on TV?

:rofl:

[Deja Q]

34. Neither, there are enough differences between us!

:D

[mduffy31]

28. If I could vote twice

I would vote for Conspiracy and Love Actually. I love all the actors in Love Actually, but the part that I don't understand about that movie is that you have all these A list British actors in the movie and then there is Laura Linney, she just seems out of place.

[supernova]

30. She's the token American expat

living in the UK.

Although, I think she's a good actress.

edit: I thought Conspiracy was very well done. They handled the subject with the right amount of creepiness to make it so you have to watch it.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

29. And again, you forget Love Actually!!

:shrug:

[supernova]

31. Yes, I did! D'oh!

Flog me with a wet noodle! :D

I didn't realize so many people were so fond of it. I think it's a sweet movie, but it's not the first one I would pick up if I want a really big dose of Colin.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

37. But how sweet is he in that movie?

He's just sooo cute too...
Duckie

[supernova]

38. He is squeezable!

in L,A.

Also the pathos quotient is high because he's so sad...... :cry:

[Love Bug]

40. Woo-hoo! How can you go wrong?

I voted for P&P (natch) but was tempted to vote for Valmont just for the scene where he was kissing whatshername's naked bottom!
