Colin Firth

[true_heir_of_slyth]

I did a search and nothing like this came up :)

I've decided to start this thread so that we can all discuss the talents (and gorgeousness :p) of that wonderful British actor, Colin Firth :D

I'll get the ball rolling with this lovely pic of him :)

LOL Slythy xx

[HannahStarr]

:drool:
I LOVE Colin Firth! :D He's a good actor; plus, he's very drool-worthy. I've seen Love Actually, Bridget Jones's Diary, Shakespeare in Love, and Pride and Prejudice. :D

[mevam]

He's probably my favourite male British actor, he's just sooooo good at what he does! He's got that snobbish British elite look about him, which makes him great as Fitzwilliam Darcy in Pride and Prejudice.

I loved him in Bridget Jones' Diary too, and Girl With a Pearl Earring in which he starred opposite Scarlet Johansson, and Love Actually where he plays a hilarious employer of a non-English speaking maid.

[Romy]

Does he play himself in the Bridget Jones sequel? I´ve read the book "Bridget Jones the edge of reason" and she´s doing an interview with Colin Firth in the book. Then again Colin Firth plays Mark Darcy..... :huh:

true heir of slyth, I like your signature. :rotfl: Cause your worth it! Might make people never buy L`Oreal again. :rotfl:

[owl post 1992]

I love him too. I have finally busted my tape of P and P. Frankly I hope Colin Firth plays himself, Mark and Mr Darcy in Bridget Jones 2 :eyebrows:

[mystically_mad]

I adore Colin Firth, P&P is one of my fav movies.

[Guardian Angel]

*bows to Slythy*

THANKS FOR MAKING THIS THREAD!!

And sorry for using the caps, :lol:.

Colin Firth is one of the best currents actors! He's charming, he's wonderful! I love his voice & his accent... and, let's face it y'all: he's darn good lookin' man.

In one sentence: I adore him.

:drool:

[rotsiepots]

Colin Firth made Hope Springs. For that, I cannot forgive him.

[ginnybatbogeysyou]

Does any of you have the Love Actually DVD? It has of course the lovely Colin Firth swimming scene, but on the cast commentaries, Hugh Grant ghoes on and on about Colin being ugly and not capable of acting. He's just jealous :p

[Mrs Padfoot]

* let's face it y'all: he's darn good lookin' man.

Especially when he has just come out of the lake in Pride and Prejudice :drool:

Let's not forget that he has acting talent as well...

:drool: we NEED to find him a role in one of the HP films, even if we have to write a new one in! :lol:

[Liselle]

*Jumps up and down in a fangirl manner*

I love Colin Firth! I've the DVD of pride and prejudice and he's wonderful :tu: and of course in Bridget and Love Actually....I love them all!!

[Flossy]

Just the name colin firth makes me :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: anybody got a tissue because i am makin a mess. he is such a good actor who saw Girl With A Pearl Earring and What A Girl Wants? (my drama teacher was an extra in that) He was so gougous in both of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Morgan LeFay]

Although my fav british actor is Ewan McGregor, Colin Firth comes just after (with AR and Gary Oldman of course). I love him, his just adorable. Why is he not in HP movie?? (My idea is, that he could play...ee... I don't know. What do you think?). Wanna drool? Bridget, P&P, Love Actually (great), just give me more...

[SenoritaNatasha]

Wow, I found some more Colin Firth fans! *grins* I just love his acting and he is really good looking!

[erica_who?]

Oh I love that man!!! He is soooo gorgeous. :drool: About the Bridget Jones the edge of reason thing, I read somewhere that they would get another actor for that scene like George Clooney or something.

[Morgan LeFay]

Oh I <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=love&v=56">love</a> that man!!! He is soooo gorgeous. :drool: About the Bridget Jones the edge of reason thing, I read somewhere that they would get another actor for that scene like George Clooney or something.

I'm always finding that thing about the movie totally crazy. It must have been weird looking at somebody playing yourself.

[true_heir_of_slyth]

*bows to Slythy*

THANKS FOR MAKING THIS THREAD!!

:lol: You're welcome. I think it's about time he had one, don't you? :lol:

**this** (http://hem.passagen.se/lmw/index.html) is a pretty good CF website... enjoy :D You may want to move your keyboard to one side, some of the pictures are droolworthy :lol:

LOL Slythy xx

[xlupin_loverx]

Yeah, 'Edge of Reason' should be interesting. 'Cause Bridget and her friends are obsessed with Colin Firth, anytime one of them is down they pull out 'Pride and Prejudice' and play the bit when he's getting out of the lake. And then Bridget gets to interview Colin Firth himself... All the while, Colin Firth is in the movie playing Mark Darcy... Hahah, I'm looking forward to it all the same. The book is quite entertaining, so the movie I'm sure will be as well. :)

[Mrs Padfoot]

After I read The Edge of Reason I just presumed that they would cut that whole storyline. I wonder what Colin Firth thought if he read the book :lol:

Wouldn't it be weird to read a book where the main character was obssessed with you?

[Artanis]

:love:
Colin Firth...what else can I say? Those two words say it all :D

Seriously, he is one fine actor. He's just wonderful in P&P and in Girl With a Pearl Earring...wow. That's all I've ever seen him in, but if it's all I ever see him in...I'll be satisfied.

He's also one fine looking man ;)

[NashiraErato]

Wasn't it Colin's performance in Pride and Prejudice that inspired Helen Fielding to write the Darcy character in Bridget Jones? I do love him in P&P, the role suits him perfectly *fondles P&P DVD*

[Guardian Angel]

Okay, a question for folks who HAVE read Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason

There is a part where Bridget makes an interview with Colin Firth ( I love that bit! :lol: ) and... Colin Firth plays Mark Darcy... so... how on Earth will she make an interview with an actor who plays her boyfriend? *utterly confused and amused*

They mustn't cut the interview from the movie! IT'S MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE BOOK!

Slythy - I am checking that website NOW!! *moves keyboard aside* Drooling, here I come!

:drool:

[snowbear]

OMG! I watched Pride & Prejudice just yesterday! My aunty has it on dvd so I got to watch the whole thing with only stopping my colin firth drool once to change the dvds instead of 5 times with my beloved vhs set. *jumps up and down and squeals like a little schoolgirl* I didn't know anyone else my age liked him. I'm known by a few people as the old fogie lover because I think Colin is hott as well as Vigo and Johnny Depp and well the list goes on.

[Snapes_lovr]

His performance in Girl w/ a Pearl Earing is...breath taking! I couldn't stop watching his every move. Those hands, if only he would've swooped Scarlett of her feet and...well you get the point. Colin is a legendary actor who'll keep re-inventing himself and keep us all intensely absorbed in his work. :drool:

[Guardian Angel]

His performance in Girl w/ a Pearl Earing is...breath taking! I couldn't stop watching his every move. Those hands, if only he would've swooped Scarlett of her feet and...well you get the point.
Totally. The movie seems a little short... and there wasn't much talk going on -the book was better - but Colin's performance was brilliant. He was absolutely fantastic. :)

[loony4moony]

Mmmmm Colin Firth....

*goes into happy Pride and Prejudice trance*

Randomly, does anybody else just love the way he says 'what??!!' in that scene near the end of PandP when Miss Bingley asks him if he's missing Lizzy?

*wanders out of thread still in happy trance*

[Mrs Padfoot]

As soon as my exams are over, I'm looking forward to sitting down and watching Pride and Prejudice for 5 hours. It's sort of my traditional holiday video.

[Snapes_lovr]

For five hours? So your watching it twice.

[OliverIsHot]

good looking?.....uh....yeah ya think? He's so unbefreakingleavably handsome, its not even funny. I'm so glad people share my thoughts and interests, i thought i was the only fourteen year old who thought that. Pride and Prejudice is a great movie, you should see Sense and Sensibility, Alan Rickman is in that one!

[joinedupwriting]

I *love* Colin Firth. I first saw him in Bridget Jones's Diary, then my sister's friend brought Pride & Predjudice over and I've been a huge fan since.

[Guardian Angel]

Remember this?

Love Actually

[In Portugese]

Jamie (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000147/): Beautiful Aurelia, I've come here with a view of asking you to marriage me. I know I seems an insane person - because I hardly knows you - but sometimes things are so transparency, they don't need evidential proof. And I will inhabit here, or you can inhabit with me in England.

:rotfl:

Who didn't laugh at this bit REALLY shouldn't call themselves a Colin fan.

I always fall off chair laughing while watching this.

Colin rocks! :clap:

I LOVE that part! One of the best moments of the movie, I think. And that movie is full of good ones... But this is in my top 3, haha. He's so adorable in that scene, you can't help but just melt.

[Snapes_lovr]

I too love Love Actually. The director pulled so many story lines together. But Colin's story was the best indeed.

[pasalita]

Okay, a question for folks who HAVE read Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason

There is a part where Bridget makes an interview with Colin Firth ( I love that bit! :lol: ) and... Colin Firth plays Mark Darcy... so... how on Earth will she make an interview with an actor who plays her boyfriend? *utterly confused and amused*

They mustn't cut the interview from the movie! IT'S MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE BOOK!

Slythy - I am checking that website NOW!! *moves keyboard aside* Drooling, here I come!

:drool:

Well, Colin Firth is slated to play Mark Darcy. So, I think it would be doubly hilarious if they casted some guy that looks nothing like him and have him react to faux-Colin Firth.

I've just recently fallen for Colin Firth simply because he has a look and aura that makes me want to rescue and cradle him (a la Bridget Jones' Diary and Love Actually). I've heard other bad reviews about Hope Springs but, c'mon, an actor's gotta eat. Colin Firth is simply charming and adorable. :tu:

[AcrylicDrama]

Sigh. I love Pride and Prejudice...and Love Actually...

He's beautiful.

[true_heir_of_slyth]

:rotfl: It's one of the best bits in the whole movie... :lol:

Something I just found out that I didn't know before... Colin has a short story published. It's called the Department of Nothing and you can raed a snippet of it ** here ** (http://hem.passagen.se/lmw/department_of_nothing.html) It's pretty good. He really is a man of many talents. Take a liddle looksee :D

LOL Slythy xx

[publicenemy1]

I recently saw Bridget Jones Diary, he's a good looking man but not my tastes. I like Ewan McGregor better. :tu:

[RubberSoul]

Wow, the existence of this thread is making me too giddy. I love Colin Firth...he has great eyes, doesn't he? He's fantastic in Pride and Prejudice. You wouldn't think him a Mr Darcy if you read the book, but there's no doubt that he is after you've seen it. He has that sullen, brooding face pretty much the entire movie, and it's a long movie.:)

Something I just found out that I didn't know before... Colin has a short story published.
I took a look at it...it's quite good! I love this part: "Our teacher Shitty McVittie (I didn't make up the shitty part, that's what everyone calls him) if you're, like, a minute late then it's like you've stolen a minute off him and so he'll steal an hour off you - after school."

[mevam]

Colin Firth rocks, he really is THE actor to play the role of the snobbish well-to-do English gentleman. I'd like to see him in a role that is a bit more out of character though, something where he plays a villain with an American accent who feasts on clay tiles or something ridiculous like that. A great actor does not play a certain role fantastically, a great actor can play different roles so well that you can't tell he's only doing his job, and that's what I want to see more of from Colin Firth.

[emerald eyes]

I have to admit while I have heard his name before, I wasn't "properly" introduced to Colin Firth until I watched Love Actually. He is definitely on my list of fav guy actors now! I can't think I anyting else that I have seen him in. I have been meaning to go and rent or buy P&P for ages now but I just haven't done it. Guess I better get moving on it! :)

[SarahBetz1]

Mmmmm Colin Firth....



Randomly, does anybody else just love the way he says 'what??!!' in that scene near the end of PandP when Miss Bingley asks him if he's missing Lizzy?

*wanders out of thread still in happy trance*

First of all, I too love Colin Firth. I have had an infatuation with him for some years now. Probably since I saw The English Patient. But, I fell in love with him again when i watched Pride and Prejudice for the first time about a year ago. He was born to play Mr. Darcy!

As to your quote, Loony4Moony, that is one of my most favorite parts of the movie. It really turned me on the way he said, "what" and how it put Caroline Bingley in her place. I think my favorite part was when he first declares his love to Elizabeth. Firth portrayed Darcy just as I imagined he should have been portrayed.

[RubberSoul]

I think my favorite part was when he first declares his love to Elizabeth.
That's my favourite part too! For some reason it was more satisfying then when he does it in the end. There was a lot of hoopla surrounding it, and it wasn't that impressive. But the first time, he sounded so much more fervent.

"In vain have I tried to repress my feelings. It will not do. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

[true_heir_of_slyth]

I'd like to see him in a role that is a bit more out of character though, something where he plays a villain with an American accent who feasts on clay tiles or something ridiculous like that.

:lol: Now that'd be something to see... :lol: In Shakespeare in love he plays a bad guy... but he's not American/clay eating :shrug: He does have a great little beard and an earing, though... :lol:

[pasalita]

Ah, Mr. Darcy. And, no, not the Darcy in British Jones' Diary. The Mr. Darcy of Pride and Prejudice. I simply adore that pic of him posted by true_heir.

My favorite episode of Pride and Prejudice: Not when he declares his love because, really, I side with Lizzy on that one. It sounded more like "I love you, but I shouldn't because you're beneath me."

My favorite episode is episode 4, the one that follows his declaration, where he write his letter to Lizzy, Lizzy goes on a trip and visits his estate and runs into him at his most gentile with his guard down. I absolutely love that episode because that's when both of their guards are down and you can see in their eyes that they are smarting over how they had addressed each other during Darcy's proposal. It's the episode where they're past the pretense.

The longing in his eyes....ugh. What I would give to be Lizzy!

I must buy these DVDs.

Colin Firth forever!

[squirpy]

Oh man... I was just watching Pride and Prejudice again last night. I'd never really thought of him as all that good looking before, but man! He really is! Yum...

pasalita: that's also my favorite part.
That and when Lady Catherine DeBourgh shows up to tell Lizzy that she can't marry Darcy. Hehe.

[IheartLupin12]

Colin Firth is one DELICIOUS man.
Jamie: Beautiful Aurelia, I've come here with a view of asking you to marriage me. I know I seems an insane person - because I hardly knows you - but sometimes things are so transparency, they don't need evidential proof. And I will inhabit here, or you can inhabit with me in England.
and this was one of the best parts in the movie...apart from the fact that aurelia's father calls her sister "Miss Dunkin Donut 2003"

[daronisgod]

Colin Firth is brilliant as Mr. Darcy, I can't comment on his other roles as I haven't seen any of them. But I love Pride and Prejudice, I loved watching it when it was first on TV.

[true_heir_of_slyth]

Colin Firth forever!

Amen to that! :lol:

OK, my favourite scene from Pride and Prejudice... well, it's not really a scene, it's only about four seconds long- that shot of him in the bath...

*slaps herself to bring herself back t reality*

[squirpy]

I love the shot right after he gets out of the bath and is looking out the window. His hair looks good all wet and tousled.

Here's another great CF photo site... it's in Russian, but it's really easy to find your way around:

Enjoy :D

[bridg2ette]

Wow! I was just perusing some of the threads...I had no idea there were so many Colin fans out there! I love him! Lets see...Pride and Prejudice is my all time favorite movie, and my all time favorite role for colin...but i also loved him in Shakespeare in Love, Bridget Jones Diary, Girl With A Pearl Earring, Circle of Friends, The Importance of Being Earnest, and Love Actually. I've been looking at some sites to find out some of his other works that he's done. Do you all know of any other movies that he's been in? I'd love to go rent some more colin movies. Some that I know of, that I haven't seen, are Valmont and the English Patient.

Ok, I just have to let you all know some of my favorite P&P scenes (none of my other friends are colin or P&P fans...I love having people to talk to about this! )
- When he asks her to dance at the Netherfield Ball (she cant think of an excuse, and has to agree, lol..."oh that hateful man, why could I not think of an excuse?!)
- His first proposal scene, where he nervously sits down, walks around the room, and then spills out his true feelings for her.
- I LOVE when she and her aunt and uncle tour pemberly, and after darcy swims in the lake (YUM), he and she run into eachother and have the awkward conversation ("um, so your parents are in good health?...yes they are very well, thank you (a few minutes later)...so, your parents and all your sisters are in good health?...yes, they are all in excellent health, thank you...) haha that scene is great.
- When he introduces his sister, Georgiana, to Eliza. (Georgiana,when referring to elizabeths pianist skills) "My brother tells me he has rarely heard anything that gave him more pleasure."
- Elizabeth playing the piano at Netherfield, and Mr. Darcy showering her with that romantic gaze that only Colin can portray. (just thinking about it makes me want to melt)
- Mr. Darcy replying to Ms. Bingley's rude comment about Eliza being a beauty..."yes, but it has been many months now that I have considered her one of the handsomest women of my aquaintance!" and leaves the room smiling.
-And who could forget the scene when elizabeth and darcy are walking behind jane and mr. bingley, and mr. darcy spills out, "you are too generous to trifle with me...if your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on the subject forever." and later..."my behavior at the time was unpardonable...i have been a selfish being all my life...and such i might still have been, if it hadn't been for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth!"

SO sorry that took so long! But those true Pride and Prejudice fans out there will share my excitement over those scenes :)

[true_heir_of_slyth]

:welcome: Welcome to the thread, Bridg2ette! :D

SO sorry that took so long! But those true Pride and Prejudice fans out there will share my excitement over those scenes

lol, that's alright... reading you post made me revisit all those great scenes (alas, I don't have my own copy of P&P... that's why you can never find it at my local library :evil: )

I've been looking at some sites to find out some of his other works that he's done. Do you all know of any other movies that he's been in?

This is his page on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000147/ It's probably the most complete list you'll find online :) Hope this helps!

[RubberSoul]

Elizabeth playing the piano at Netherfield, and Mr. Darcy showering her with that romantic gaze that only Colin can portray. (just thinking about it makes me want to melt)
I love that scene - you can tell how much in love they are without either of them saying anything. And Georgiana looks up from the piano and just sees them gazing at each other.

Mr. Darcy replying to Ms. Bingley's rude comment about Eliza being a beauty..."yes, but it has been many months now that I have considered her one of the handsomest women of my aquaintance!" and leaves the room smiling.
Isn't it great how he sticks up for her? *Swoon* And all those scenes that you named show that there could never be a replacement for this Pride and Prejudice movie (e.g. the new one they're making with Keira Knightley). You cannot improve on perfection! Colin Firth will always be Mr Darcy and Jennifer Ehle, Elizabeth. Sorry - I feel strongly about this.

[bridg2ette]

Thanks for the site!
Ok, so I was perusing blockbuster the other night and I saw "Hope Springs" but I didn't get it. Have any of you seen it? I hope it's not a flop, because besides having Colin in it, I've always liked Minnie Driver. Let me know what you guys think... :)

[OliverIsHot]

I personally liked Hope Springs. And just like ten minutes ago did I finished watching "Girl With the Pearl Earring" and I also think that one was great. Colin Firth has long hair in this movie, and he just looks like the handsomest men of my acquaintance! sorry, just had to throw that in there. So I hope this was helpful!

Great! Thanks for the Hope Springs info. I heard someone earlier say that they didn't really like it. But I'm glad to know that someone thinks its worth renting. I'll have to go out and get it.
Yeah, he was really good in Girl With A Pearl Earring. I loved the scene where she's sitting for the portrait, and he comes up to her, and tells her to lick her lips again and again. I swear, why couldn't they kiss?? lol. But do you think she ended up with the butcher boy at the end? I wish they would have cleared that up. I liked the butcher boy too...I couldn't decide who I wanted her to go with. Anyways, it was an awesome movie. I loved it.

[true_heir_of_slyth]

But do you think she ended up with the butcher boy at the end? I wish they would have cleared that up.

In the book she does, but I haven't seen the movie *sobs* :lol:

[HannahStarr]

I saw Girl with a Pearl Earring a few weeks ago, and I thought it was okay. Colin was excellent in it, though. :D And very sexy as well.

[bridg2ette]

In the book she does, but I haven't seen the movie *sobs* :lol:

I've been meaning to read the book. How is it?
By the way, you really should see the movie. I haven't read the book, so I wouldn't know how it compares, but I personally thought it was great, and it will probably live up to your expectations. :)

[RubberSoul]

I've read the book and seen the movie - and it's one of those rare times that the movie seems to follow the book and stay true to its spirit. It's filmed like it's written (I can't explain it) and I think anyone who's seen the movie would like the book and vice versa.

And Colin's such a sexy beast in that movie. Forget all those Brad Pitts and Tom Cruises of the movie world...Colin Firth's where it's at. :eyebrows:

[true_heir_of_slyth]

I've been meaning to read the book. How is it?

It's fantastic. :) I read it quite a while though, before the movie came out, so I can't really go into detail about it... I do remember that it was really addictive, though. I think Colin would have made a perfect Vermeer, and I'm sure the movie will live up to my expectations when I finally get some money to buy it :p. He's got that brooding, quiet thing down to a T :D

EDIT: yippee! Third page! :clap:

[FluffyEarmuffs]

I love Bridget Jones, and love actually, and Colin in them.
The best bit is in Bridget Jones, when Daniel Cleaver takes Bridget out for lunch, and Mark looks so sad.
I also love the bit when he proposes in Love actually. It always makes me cry!
Ive never seen pride and prejudice, but Ive heared lots about it (from the Bridget books)

[Morgan LeFay]

Had anyone seen the trailer (or teaser, I never see the difference) for BJ2: the edge of reason? I think it rocks.

[mugglegirl07]

I never really thought about Colin Firth until I saw Bridget Jones Diary, but now I think hes a cutie. Does anyone know how old he is?

[Beaulieu]

I never really thought about Colin Firth until I saw Bridget Jones Diary, but now I think hes a cutie. Does anyone know how old he is?

Colin Firth is 43. He was born on September 10th, 1960 in Grayshott, Hampshire. (Probably more than you wanted to know) :p

Colin is v. gorgeous and I cannot wait for BJD The Edge of Reason to come out!! :drool:

[RubberSoul]

Here's a thought: I read in an entertainment column today that (among practically every other British actor) Colin Firth is being considered as the next James Bond. I wouldn't complain, more Colin, but it seems weird anyway. :p

[Trinka]

Yeah, Pride and Pejedice has got to be his best ever; why is it a man is more attractive when he only smiles once in an entire movie? I loved it! Also, he was quite charming in the Importance of Being Ernest (despite the fact that when I saw it live, the other characters were much better...I mean, besides Colin Firth's character). I also loved him in What a Girl Wants just because, I mean, com'on now! Colin Firth in leather pants? Oh yeah!

[true_heir_of_slyth]

I also loved him in What a Girl Wants just because, I mean, com'on now! Colin Firth in leather pants? Oh yeah!

:lol: That one scene made the movie bearable for me :rotfl:

Colin as James Bond... :shrug: well... it'd be... um... different :lol: No, really can't see that at all. I wonder where these column-writer-people get this stuff from, sometimes :lol:

[bridg2ette]

Had anyone seen the trailer (or teaser, I never see the difference) for BJ2: the edge of reason? I think it rocks.

Oh my gosh, I've been really wanting to see the trailer for it. When does it come out?? I'm so excited. I hope Darcy and Bridge stay together in the 2nd movie...i need to read the books. Anyone read them both? How do the movies compare? (Don't give anything away, lol)

[skistar123]

Is he that dude whos in that film about the girl whose parents split up and her dad's really posh and her mum's really 'scruffy' and the girl goes to london and tries to find him but he's getting married to this other lady? Oh i give UP!

[bridg2ette]

Is he that dude whos in that film about the girl whose parents split up and her dad's really posh and her mum's really 'scruffy' and the girl goes to london and tries to find him but he's getting married to this other lady? Oh i give UP!

You're thinking of Bridget Jones' Diary. Colin Firth is the main character, Mark Darcy.

[publicenemy1]

I saw Girl With A Pearl Earring not too long ago, it was really good.

[RubberSoul]

You're thinking of Bridget Jones' Diary. Colin Firth is the main character, Mark Darcy.
I think the movie is actually What a Girl Wants. Reindeer sweater versus leather pants, teehee.

Colin as James Bond... well...it'd be... um... different No, really can't see that at all. I wonder where these column-writer-people get this stuff from, sometimes
Colin Firth weilding a gun seems strange. He looks better in those nice romantic movies. I can't picture him dodging around corners and such to the James Bond theme.

[SarahBetz1]

Firth as James Bond! I will look forward to that!

[bridg2ette]

I think the movie is actually What a Girl Wants. Reindeer sweater versus leather pants, teehee.




Oh woops you're probably right. I've never seen What a Girl Wants (I was a little sad Colin agreed to do such a movie, lol). I just assumed the 'parents splitting up' part was Bridget's parents splitting up...woops, my bad

[hermeeownninny]

Colin Firth is gorgeous. . Pride & Prejudice is great and he's great in it. I've also seen him in Bridget Jones's Diary, What a Girl Wants (2 words- leather pants), The Importance of Being Earnest, Valmont, and Relative Values (he plays a gay guy). If you want an eye-opener, watch Valmont- he doesn't play his stereotypical character.

[FluffyEarmuffs]

Ive read both books.(Bridget Jones that is) They are just as good as the film, but the storyline is totally different. They can be difficult to get into, because they are set out like a diary, but they are really funny! Im not sure how they'll do the interview with Colin Firth though. Im not sure if this is true, but I heared that someone like John Travolta is going to play Colin :scared:

Actually I read online yesterday that George Clooney was set to play Colin Firth in the sequel...eh, George Clooney...I don't know how that's going to work out, but it could be interesting, lol...we'll have to wait and see...

I heard about this too. Clooney said no, so they asked Travolta. :huh: I think they cut the interview part out of the final script. Here is an old article from the Daily Mail, July 2003: (I would post a link but I can't find the original article) :blush:

Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant have all read Adam Brooks’s latest script for Bridget Jones 2 – The Edge of Reason. They, along with director Beebab [sic] Kidron and interested parties, have passed on their two cents’ worth to writer Brooks, who will come up with another draft. Firth, who has just finished filming the terrifying thriller Trauma, told me that at least one problem – the novel features Bridget interviewing Colin Firth – has been solved. ‘They’ve just dropped the interview altogether,’ he said. ‘I’m looking forward to having another go’ he added of the project. As filming begins in the autumn, producers Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan of Working title will be celebrating the firm’s 20th anniversary (Bevan founded WT with Sarah Radcliffe)


Of course this article was posted a year ago, so things may have changed. :)

[true_heir_of_slyth]

I think they cut the interview part out of the final script.

:wow: Oh, NO! That's the bestest bit in the whole book! I'm gutted, but I can see it would have been very difficult to film. Heheh, even thinking about it makes me giggle :lol: 'What is your favourite colour?' :rotfl: The teaser trailer looks hillarious- roll on, Christmas 2005, that's what I say! ;)

[bridg2ette]

I just saw the trailer yesterday for BJ 2. It looks hilarious! I can't wait to see it.

Just wondering, what were some of your favorite scenes from the first movie? I really liked the whole scene where its bridget's birthday, when all of her friends are sitting at dinner, and her friends toast, "to bridget, who cannot cook, but who we love, just as she is..." and colin looks at her with that look that says he absolutely loves her.
And of course the ending scene, when he walks up to her through the snow and says he forgot to kiss her goodbye...ah im melting as i think about it...

Those are among my favorite scenes too. I also like the start of the movie where she meets him at the turkey curry buffet. He looks sooo gorgeous when he turns around. Ding Dong! :drool:

Haha yeah that scene was great. Ding dong, maybe this time mum has got it right...(looks at reindeer jumper)...maybe not...lol

and the fight scene...can you imagine two better looking men to be fighting to win your love? lol

[Beaulieu]

LOL! www.firth.com/teor.html has articles about TEOR.

She also has pages of photos from the filming, including a NEW fight scene in TEOR at www.firth.com/teor_locgal1.html

Make sure you go to pg 4 where the fight photos are. There are several photos of Colin in a wet shirt! :D

[Charmed]

Colin Firth made Hope Springs. For that, I cannot forgive him.
If only I had read your post a week ago. I had the misfortune of watching Hope Springs-it is very painful to watch. I was only able to watch it due to the Firth factor. What a girl wants also falls into this catagory.
Has anybody seen Circle of Friends? Colin plays a particularly nasty character by the name of Simon Westward. Top notch flick though.

I LOVE "Circle of Friends". That is one reason why I kind of wanted to see Hope Springs, because I also really like Minnie Driver. What do you think ever happened to Chris O'donnel? lol, he was in the hot spot for awhile, but kind of disappeared...

[Shrewd]

Oh, I've never been able to get past the fact that he is way too old for me. But I'm trying, ******!
Pride and Prejudice is probably the most watched movie in my house. My dad bought the VHS for my mom, then the DVD when it came out... still trying to convince myself not to buy the silver edition, because I'm afraid he'll steal it... for very different reasons. :p
He's so gorgeous though! You're right, he does need a role in a future HP. One of the Advance Guard, perhaps? Kingsley Shacklebot - I think that's his name - anyway, the guy that is in charge of the hunt for Sirius Black. That works. He's a character that hasn't yet been cast, has a mildly important role (ie more than 5 seconds of screen time) and, most importantly, is a good guy.
The Firth factor was the only good part of What a Girl Wants - dancing in leather pants, anyone? - as the rest of it was "tolerable, I suppose." Mostly, though, I like him in P&P. He defines Darcy - whoever plays the role in the upcoming P&P is going to have to study Firth. But pretty much any time he's onscreen in Bridget Jones is fantastic. Cooking scene... :drool: And then the last scene... :is slightly jealous of Renee Zellweger:
If I don't watch out I'm going to drool all down my shirt...

Haha I know exactly how you feel. About the age thing, it's totally understandable. I know he's getting older (in his mid-40's i believe), but so far he seems to me to be a kind of man who just ages very gracefully, and stays quite as handsome as he gets older, even if its in a different, more sophisticated kind of way, lol (tom cruise anyone?).

And oh yeah, I love the cooking scene in bridget jones diary...(controlling my drooling as well, lol)

I also agree about the new pride and prejudice darcy...it'll take a whole lot of hard work to be half as convincing in the role of Mr. Darcy as colin firth was.

(By the way, just read that the new Bridget Jones Diary movie is coming out Nov. 19th) yay!

(wow this is crazy. I turn into such a pre-teen girl when I talk/think about Colin. It's kind of sad actually, haha)

[Shrewd]

bridg2ette- I'm older than you, if not by much, and I do exactly the same thing!
I actually tend to think of it more in the terms of George Clooney, who of course is getting sexier as he gets older. Ocean's Eleven, anyone?

haha yeah George Clooney is pretty sexy. Too bad they cut out the interview scene in the second bridget jones movie. He would have been a good Colin Firth. (oh man i forgot about one other really good looking older guy...who could forget brad pitt...yum...how old is he now? I think he's like 40, but did you see him in Troy??? geez that is one prime example of graceful aging...)

anyways, i just saw some pics of the second bridget jones...another fight scene between the two sexiest british guys alive...except this time they fall in a lake (or could be a fountain)....(fond memories of mr. darcy swimming in the pond outside of Pemberley...yum)

:drool: The puddle on this thing isn't big enough...
Oh, wet Colin Firth... bestill my pounding heart... :swoons:

UK Colin Firth fans... News of the World are giving away Fever Pitch with today's paper. Go, now! :lol:

[Mrs Padfoot]

I watched Pride & Prejudice yesterday, I realised that I was grinning stupidly all the way through

[Shrewd]

I watched Pride & Prejudice yesterday, I realised that I was grinning stupidly all the way throughI'd enjoy watching P&P more if my crocheting, and my lap, weren't all drool-covered at the end of it. :p

[squirpy]

yeah, gotta wear one of those drool bibs... and then you can't watch it with people because it's embarassing... ;)

[Kethaer]

Did somebody say Colin Firth?! *Drowns in drool puddle*

[Charmed]

I LOVE "Circle of Friends". That is one reason why I kind of wanted to see Hope Springs, because I also really like Minnie Driver. What do you think ever happened to Chris O'donnel? lol, he was in the hot spot for awhile, but kind of disappeared...
My motives exactly! I saw Colin Firth and Minnie Driver and before I knew it, it was already in my DvD player.
I don't know what happened to O'Donnel. Maybe his fifteen minutes are up.

[Marissa]

Oh man recently i've been thinking a lot about Colin Firth.
He's sooooo dreamy. This all started after 'Love Actually' came out.
I really want to watch Pride and Prejudice, I've never seen it.
I'm starting the book first because i alwasy like reading the book before seeng the movie.
SO what do you guys think is P&P worth seeing as far as Colin drooling goes?

[Shrewd]

I was just watching Bridget Jones' Diary, primarily for the Firth factor, and drooling... especially when they're having the feast of blue soup, omelette (Firth cooking! :drool: ) and marmalade and he's laughing and says "This really is the most incredible ****." I nearly swooned.

Did you guys know that Shirley Henderson, the woman who plays Jude in that, is also Moaning Myrtle? :wow: I nearly had a heart attack.

And yes. Watch P&P, even if just for the Firth factor. He looks really great in it... the man was born to wear breeches and a top hat. :drool:

[squirpy]

heh, if you're looking to drool over Colin Firth, P&P is great. He takes a bath and swims. He looks good...

[Beaulieu]

Did you guys know that Shirley Henderson, the woman who plays Jude in that, is also Moaning Myrtle? :wow: I nearly had a heart attack.

Me too! :) I watched CoS before I saw BJD, so when I saw BJD I wondered if she wasn't cast in CoS as some kind of reference to Jude! (Jude and Myrtle spend lots of time crying in ladies toilets!)

Here is a new Colin Firth article and photos (http://www.firth.com/articles/04times_807.html)

SO what do you guys think is P&P worth seeing as far as Colin drooling goes?

You MUST see P&P. It had half the women in England drooling all over their TV sets!!

[Scarlet Lily]

P&P is showing on Sunday nights here in Australia. Definately swooning all over the place due to the sheer loveliness of Mr Firth as 'Mr Darcy'. My housemates (males, puh what would they know) think that I have gone mad.

My housemates (males, puh what would they know) think that I have gone mad.One of my guy friends (straight even) loves the book... and he was telling me that his roommates last year were watching the movie for class (which you can do, as my sister proved by getting a 99% on her exam) and saying that the reason it's so good is Jennifer Ehle's cleavage. So it works both ways.
That's a great article. Makes me like him more... I've always preferred my men with internal demons, or at least the appearance of them.

Anyone have an opinion on Girl with a Pearl Earring? Both the Firth factor and the film itself.

[bridg2ette]

Anyone have an opinion on Girl with a Pearl Earring? Both the Firth factor and the film itself.

I love and own "Girl with a Pearl Earring." Besides the fact that Colin Firth is gorgeous, he is also an very talented actor, and he definitely proved his acting skills once again in this movie. I loved it.

Also, who here as seen Fever Pitch? I've never seen or heard any reviews of it. All I know is that Colin is in it. Can anyone tell me anything about the movie?

Did you guys know that Shirley Henderson, the woman who plays Jude in that, is also Moaning Myrtle? :wow: I nearly had a heart attack.
[QUOTE]

Yeah I know! Isn't it funny that she can play a woman in her thirties in one movie, and play a teenage girl in another? I guess its proof of the benefits of sunblock lotion and abstinence from tanning beds, lol.

[QUOTE=Charmed]My motives exactly! I saw Colin Firth and Minnie Driver and before I knew it, it was already in my DvD player.
I don't know what happened to O'Donnel. Maybe his fifteen minutes are up.

Lol yeah, poor Chris, he was a pretty good actor. So what did you think of Hope Springs? Someone else said it was pretty bad...I hope not...
(off subject...anyone seen "School Ties"? It has Brendan Frasier, Chris O'Donnel, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck. It's really good but the addition of Colin might have made it top notch, lol.)

[true_heir_of_slyth]

Also, who here as seen Fever Pitch? I've never seen or heard any reviews of it. All I know is that Colin is in it. Can anyone tell me anything about the movie?

I have :) He plays Paul, a school teacher who's obsessed with Arsenal FC. It's not his best film, and unless you know a lot about and like football (English football... soccer, if you like :p) then it might not appeal to you. I'm a huge footie fan myself, so i liked it. He's very young and skinny in it, with a very amusing 80's hairdo :lol: If you can find it fairly cheap, then I'd recommend it, otherwise rent it.

EDIT: a major selling point for the movie- you see Mr. Firth clad in nothing but a pair of Arsenal boxer shorts in one scene :evil:

:slyth: LOL Slythy xx

[Siobh]

yum............thats all i have to say on this matter!

[Marissa]

You MUST see P&P. It had half the women in England drooling all over their TV sets!!

OH i saw it, I saw it!!!
Me and my friend watched it over the weekend, and we finished it today.
Oh its just sooo..HE'S so...amazing!! I liked the bathtub scene, even though it only lasted like 5 seconds. And everything about him, and those intense stares!
I want to see all his movies, and i've realized that I've seen a good number of them but at the time was not attracted to him.
Now i have to watch Love Actually (well that is where my attraction started), What a girl wants, Bridget Jones Diary, and the Importance of being Earnest all over again....OH 'NO'!

[true_heir_of_slyth]

Pride and Prejudice is the ultimate Colin Firth film-type-thingy. Mr. Darcy... be still, my heart :lol:

[FluffyEarmuffs]

Ive just seen Hope Springs, with Colin Firth in it. Its quite funny, and he's really good in it.

[Spew Member]

Oooohhhhhh...Colin Firth!

Lupin is my favorite character and I'd always pictured him being played by Colin Firth (I know a lot of you would disagree with that, and that is okay :blush: )

But when I first saw PoA I just couldn't get over the fact that Colin Firth wasn't in it! :upset:

I have to admit that although I didn't imagine Colin as Lupin when I read the books I had hoped he might play him in the film. :drool: (Lupin is my favorite character too.)

IMHO, David Thewlis did a fantastic job and I wouldn't want anyone else in the part.

[true_heir_of_slyth]

I've got some dates for you, girlies...

According to the BBC website:

TRAUMA: 17th September 2004
BRIDGET JONES: THE EDGE OF REASON: 12 November 2004

Thought you'd all like to know. There's also Nanny McPhee, but I didn't take the date down for some reason *smacks head* Think it's January/February 2005

[DragonBlk17]

Pride and Prejudice. All I have to say is he did a great job as Mr. Darcy. :drool: Drool-worthy let me tell you. If you haven't seen Pride and Prejudice I suggest you do. It's a great mini-series.

[reddawn]

::drools:: don't even get me started on Mr. Darcy!!!! Oh, I love him so... and ten thousand pounds a year at least!!!! How can anyone not love Pride and Prejudice??? I've read the book three times... all during school, which is kinda hard cuz the stupider non-darcy freaks are like Pride and prejudice?!? hehe... suckers... then i did my famous person report on Jane Austen. And everyone was like Jane who? It was a dark moment. ::shakes head::

did everyone love the last few scenes in the A&E version??

"My feelings... I am ashamed at what I said then, my feelings are so different. In fact... they are quite the opposite." awwwwwww, so cuuuuute!!!!

[Jamara]

Three Words: HE IS SEXY!!!

[Guardian Angel]

I want to see every Colin's movie that exists... [of course! :D] and I am trying to find What A Girl Wants on DivX.

So, before I find it - can you people just rate it for me? On a scale from 1 to 10? Thanks. :)

[true_heir_of_slyth]

Jamara: Couldn't. Agree. More. :lol:

GA: well, I went to see WaGW at the cinema when it first came out... it really is a typical teenage-comedy-film-thing. It's very predictable, but Colin is very good in it (as always)- and you get to see him dancing around in leather trousers, so it rates high on the yum-o-meter :lol: As long as you don't take it too seriously it's an enjoyable film :)

[Guardian Angel]

Slythy: Hehe, that works just fine for me. Teenage comedies are perfect when you're bored... and with Colin Firth in it, it just can't do any harm. LOL.

IN LEATHER TROUSERS, you say?!?! Man, I have to find this movie... I have I have to I have to! :drool:

[dolly]

colin Firth is one saucy babe! I thought i was weird liking him but im not the only one who like him!¬!

[reddawn]

:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Oooh, What A Girl Wants is such a lovely film. Not only do you get to see Colin in LEATHER, but it is really lovely and had me in tears. On a scale of 1 to 10 it gets a 9 from me!

[Hollis]

mmmm... yes, P&P is worth owning on DVD. It's educating and classic lit, as well as just fun. I re-watched it the other weekend and finished my knitting project, except for pausing to watch all the Firth scenes ;)

IF you want to see Firth in something very different, he plays the villain in Valmont, a story along the lines of Dangerous Liasions with Annette Benning in the Michelle Pheiffer role of scheming widow. There's a lovely scene with Firth dancing, and swimming in a lake, but definitely more R rated than the other films he's in usually.

[true_heir_of_slyth]

I started watching the Importance of Being Earnest for the first time today... I'll put a review up when I've finished :) So far, it's fantastic, very funny indeedy...

[Rola]

Colin Firth is simple charming. That's the only way I can describe him.

[nextsuperhero]

oh I'm so glad there's a colin firth thread! I never noticed before. though someone will have to mop up after us, all the drool we leave behind. One of my fav colin movies is Love actually. Anyone agree?

[Guardian Angel]

I started watching the Importance of Being Earnest for the first time today... I'll put a review up when I've finished :) So far, it's fantastic, very funny indeedy...One of my most favourite movies EVER. Enjoy it! :)

[true_heir_of_slyth]

Colin Firth is simply charming. That's the only way I can describe him.
:agree:

The Importance of being Earnest is wonderful. Colin and Rupert Everett make such a great comic duo- and they sing a serenade! Colin has a very nice voice indeed (not biased in any way at all :p) and plays a very funky little guitar. I think that's enough reason for anyone to watch it :lol:

nextsuperhero: I loved Love Actually, although Colin Firth wasn't originally my main motivation for seeing it... that was Alan Rickman. :p But the film just made me fall in love all over again... :lol:

:slyth: Slythy xx

[Pigleto972001]

ooooh, sqeee! a colin firth thread! :)

i noticed nobody mentioned the English Patient...i thought colin did a good job in this movie...he was kind of the "boring" husband, and as good as an actor as he is, i believed him in this role! of course, having ralph fiennes around helps (drool)

but anyway, as this is the colin firth thread, i have to say he was a good reason why a lot of us in college were in our dorm rooms watching P and P when it came out on A and E...now i'm practically giving away my age. sigh. :p

maybe there will be a new character in harry potter that colin could play...maybe this mysterious mcclagan (mclagan sp?) fellow. :D

as my friend says, "colin firth in the wet shirt scene is THE best reason to watch p and p" :D

[Guardian Angel]

Colin and Rupert Everett make such a great comic duo- and they sing a serenade! Colin has a very nice voice indeed (not biased in any way at all :p) and plays a very funky little guitar.

I so agree, Slythy!

Can you believe that I played the part where Colin and Rupert sing the serenade for, like, 20 times? I love the song and thier voices and ... awww... aren't they the cutest? :D

Also, the cookies scene. :lol:

[true_heir_of_slyth]

The muffins! How could I forget the muffins?

JACK: How you can sit there eating muffins while we're in this horrible mess I can't make out.
ALGY: I can hardly eat muffins in an agitated manner, can I? Besides, butter would probably get on my cuffs. Anyone who is close to me will be able to tell you that when I am upset, I refuse everything but food and drink. Right now, I am eating because I am unhappy.
JACK: Well, there's no reason for you to eat them all in that greedy way... (he snatches the muffins and begins eating them)
ALGY: Would you like teacake? I don't like teacake.
JACK: (with his mouth full) a man may eat his own muffins in his own garden...
CECILY: (watching them through binoculars) They seem to be eating muffins.

:lol:

maybe there will be a new character in harry potter that colin could play...maybe this mysterious mcclagan (mclagan sp?) fellow.
Ooh, here's hoping- that would be fantastic :D Even more reason to go and see HP at the cinema :lol:

I've always wanted to see Colin in a HP movie. There are so many roles for him! I mean... whatever he would be chosen for, I'd be happy with it.

... ... ...

He'd be great as Lupin, though... :)

[true_heir_of_slyth]

*is triumphant*

It's official. Colin Firth is better than Hugh Grant. Colin came 68th (I know, only 68th, but hey :lol: ) in Empire's 100 Sexiest Movie Stars of All Time poll. Mr. Grant was nowhere to be seen ;)

Meaning no disrespect to any Hugh Grant fans out there, of course, but- ner :p

:slyth: Slythy xx

[Kehlen Crow]

Empire's 100 Sexiest Movie Stars of All Time poll. Mr. Grant was nowhere to be seen ;)

That list is a total nonsense :evil:

Anyway. I'm the member of one-only russian non-official Colin Firth web-site and I'm glad there are his fans here in the Chamber of secrets.

I could say loads of stuff. But I'll just name my favorite scenes from the movies I saw till now (*envies English and American fans* you're lucky. And half the films he starred in were never out in Russia :upset: )

1. P&P all the film is a masterpiece. Usually watch wearing a broad grin all the 5 hours :tu:
(when Lizzy comes to visit Jane at Netherfield and encounters mr. Darcy)
- Mr. Darcy!
- Miss. Bennet!
*pause*
- I'm come to enquire after my sister.
- On foot?!
- As you see... Would you be so kind as to lead me to her?

2. Love actually
The final scene when he comes to propose her :)

3. Girl with a pearl earring
When he sees Grit's hair.

4. Hope Springs
The last scene when he cries with pain in the back and the hotel owner think about something else :eyebrows:

5. The Importance of being Earnest
The final again, when he's getting tattooed.

6. BDD
It got mixed with the book.

But I like the lake scene, when Daniel falls into the water and Marc watches this.
And the last one, of course :D

Can't wait to see the Magda's Kids scene in "the Edge of Reason"

7. Shakespeare in Love
This hero is special. The only really evil one played by Colin Firth that I've seen yet. Cool!

8. A Thousand Acres
This role is small mut the film is good.

9. The English Patient
The "accident" scene. Very touching.

10. Valmont
The first meeting in the theathre.

And the beginning of seduction scene when he starts the letter from "Dear Madame" and the girl looks astonished.

11. What a girl wants

The leather pants scene is perfect.
Glynis: Who are you? What have you done with my fiance? I want my Henry back *sobs*

The breakfast when Daphne eats the same way Henry does and Glynis watches it in horror.

When Henry calls Libby and startes shouting: "Five hours ago you daughter rode off on a back of a motorcycle and hasn't been heard of since!"

And the last one when he comes to tell Daphne he loves her :love:

[Loui]

7. Shakespeare in Love
This hero is special. The only really evil one played by Colin Firth that I've seen yet. Cool!

Yeah, it's the only time we could see our beloved Colin playing a villain. I agree it makes the role special, really. And, as always, he was great in it, hehe. :)

I CAN'T WAIT FOR BRIDGET JONES II. *goes crazy while waiting* Mark Darcy, I need you, okaythanksbye.

Beaulieu is it a TV channel? What country?

I'm sorry! :( I Thought about that when I posted, but I don't know if the show can be seen outside of the US, so I didn't mention it. (Does anyone know?) The Oct 22 date is for the U.S.

Go to www.oprah.com and click on The Oprah Winfrey Show. It looks like they have little clips from each show in Windows Media Player. Hopefully they will have some of Friday's show up late Friday or Saturday. ..?

I hope this helps! :)

The first two films I saw with Colin Firth were "Circle of Friends" and "Shakespeare in Love". In "Circle of Friends" I cared about the Minnie Driver - Chris O'Donnell love story, so Colin was more in the background and I didn't really care about finding out his name. "Shakespeare in Love" we watched in English class and I didn't like his character.
That's why my first reaction to who played Mr Darcy in the BBC P&P version I had ordered over Amazon was "Oh noo!!".
However, after seeing Pride & Prejudice, I was completely turned around. When "Bridget Jones's Diary" hit the screens, I was totally thrilled. From then on, all Colin Firth films had to be seen. "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "Love Actually" were fabulous.
Just last week I saw "Girl with a Pearl Earring".
"What a Girl Wants" and "Hope Springs" were two films that are only worth seeing to see Colin Firth. The rest of them is pretty bad.

Btw, a friend of mine calls the BBC version of P&P the "Colin Firth version":)

[Potterina]

The point of no return for me was back in 2001 (BJ'sD) when
A snowy night in London
Bridget: Wait a minute... nice boys don't kiss like that.
Mark Darcy: Oh, yes, they f***ing do.

Ahhh, that's just over the top for me.

What a Girl Wants is also a nicely wrapped feel-good movie, and I must admit to having played the leather pants scene repeatedly.

Circle of Friends was not what I expected of Colin. His character was not the nice guy and it didn't sit well with me, albeit he was very convincing.

Love Actually is another favorite, especially since he humbly plays a writer who falls in love with a girl who doesn't speak the language. That subplot actually made me laugh and of course, cry.

The role he had in the English Patient was not as memorable as other movies he's been in, although that's one terrific movie, in my opinion.

I missed seeing the Girl with the Pearl Earring theatres, but it is definitely on my list of movies to watch - just because of him.

So he should be 6 to 8 on the list, and not 68! Him and Russell Crowe, but that's another thread. :blush:

[true_heir_of_slyth]

Honestly, I go away for a little while and suddenly the thread comes back to life... ;)

I still haven't seen Girl With a Pearl Earring... It's next on my list. BJD II's out in about a month or so over here... I'll be fighting off the hordes of Hugh grant groupies for my ticket as soon as it's out, of course :lol:

And Potterina: I couldn't agree more :D I was just celebrating that he'd beaten Mr. Grant :lol:

:slyth: Slythy xx

[Artanis]

What a Girl Wants is also a nicely wrapped feel-good movie, and I must admit to having played the leather pants scene repeatedly.

I haven't seen that one yet, but I kept meaning to (and still do). I only wanted to see it because of him so I guess I really should get to it - I like feel good movies. Especially during the middle of the semester. :sigh:

Love Actually is another favorite, especially since he humbly plays a writer who falls in love with a girl who doesn't speak the language. That subplot actually made me laugh and of course, cry.

That subplot was so sweet...I think it was my favorite. I mean, honestly, the way he's giving this heartfekt proposal in bad Portuguese was at once hilarious and touching. I laughed and sniffled all at the same time... *sigh*

I missed seeing the Girl with the Pearl Earring theatres, but it is definitely on my list of movies to watch - just because of him.

Oh, do see the movie! It's a very beautiful and ethereal film; I saw it when it was in theatres and I walked out feeling like I had just stepped out of a dream. It's tremendously well acted and you learn to appreciate just how much can be said by saying nothing whatsoever. And of course, Mr. Firth is just lovely as the long-haired, passionate, mildly obsessive painter. :D Watch for the scene where he goes a little nuts ;)

Cheers,

If anyone is interested, here is a LOVELY picture of Colin (http://www.oprah.com/tows/slide/200410/20041022/slide_20041022_106.jhtml) from his appearance on Oprah to promote TEOR on Friday. Unfortunately it was almost all Renee and Hugh Grant and very little Colin! :grumble:

Here is a short clip (http://www.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/200410/tows_past_20041022.jhtml) from the show. I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know if Colin is in it or not. :(

[true_heir_of_slyth]

Ooh... that is a lovely pic, Beaulieu :D Thanks for posting it! :agree:

[Beaulieu]

For those of you who were not able to see it, a Colin fan has posted his appearance on Oprah on her website: http://www.firthessence.net/colin_on_oprah.html It's in windows media player format. It's not the whole show, just his part. :)

[Kate Johnson]

Colin Firth is the reason that I like Pride and Prejudice. He made it all the easier to study at school- we re-watched the swimming scene a couple of times, and there's a lovely moment where he's staring at Lizzy with those eyes, as she's playing or something I think. He's yummy :D

I adore LoveActually. I love the way Jamie learns the language so he can propose to Aurelia- what girl wouldn't marry a guy who does that? :D

[Kehlen Crow]

We are having P&P on TV again next week :rolleyes:
And I'll watch for the tenth time (first in Russian, though, lol).

[Kate Johnson]

But you still get to see Colin Firth swim in a lake, yes? :D :p

I've got the DVD of P&P at home :D

[Kehlen Crow]

But you still get to see Colin Firth swim in a lake, yes?
I've got the DVD of P&P at home :D


Well, actually, NO.

Knowing that a stuntman did the swimming... NO. The scene that followed - yeah, it was cool!

But my favorite (well, the one I usually watch 2 or 3 times each time I re-watch the film) as I have a VHS :) is the one when Lizzy comes to Netherfield "to enquire after her sister"
on foot?!

[Potterina]

Oh, do see the movie! It's a very beautiful and ethereal film; I saw it when it was in theatres and I walked out feeling like I had just stepped out of a dream.

And of course, Mr. Firth is just lovely as the long-haired, passionate, mildly obsessive painter. :D Watch for the scene where he goes a little nuts ;)

Wow Artanis - you weren't kidding, that was a great film. I studied oil painting since I was six years old and it really brought back so many memories. If anyone loves painting and art, watch this. Colin, is, as always, irristably yummy. The scene where he goes a little nuts...spectacular... and what a guy.

Now it's on to wait with baited breath for BJD2! Go Colin!!! :love:

[Kehlen Crow]

Now it's on to wait with baited breath for BJD2! Go Colin!!! :love:

True, true.

And for Nanny McFee, it's said to be out sometime next spring. :rolleyes: (At least for Russia it's March 17. Mmm...

[Kehlen Crow]

Could anyone help me?

It's about Pride and Prejudice. I was just wondering...
One of the officers, (Denny?) he who tells Lizzy Wickham won't come to Netherfield ball.
Well he speaks strangely fast and rather different from the others.
In what county do they speak like that? I could hardly understand him.

[true_heir_of_slyth]

^^ Hmmm... I'll have to watch it again, I can't remember of the top of my head :) (any excuse...)

[Guardian Angel]

Yay! *goofy grin* Importance of Being Earnest is on TV this afternoon! :D Even though I've seen it about 15 times and besides the fact I need to study for tomorrow's tests, I'll still watch it, hehe. Mustn't miss Colin.

Mmmmm. Have you already seen Jamelia's music video for Stop? NO?! Well, see it as fast as possible 'cause it's got heaps of shots from Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. [yep, Mark Darcy goodness!] That movie looks WICKED, I'm tellin' ya.

[true_heir_of_slyth]

I know, I can't wait to see BJ2, despite the fact that the critics aren't being very nice about it. *shrugs* Most of them clearly haven't read the books at all, so meh.

Although I know I'll come out of it despairing about the lack of a Darcy in my life :lol:

[bridg2ette]

I saw BJ2 this weekend and I LOVED it! That sucks about the harshness of the critics, true heir, but in my opinion the critics have no idea what they are talking about. As usual there were excellent performances by Renee Zelwegger, Hugh Grant, and the oh so handsome Colin Firth. It had the same humor as the last movie, so if you enjoyed the first, you would most likely enjoy the second. All in all, I loved it. I found myself giggling like a little pre teen the entire movie at how romantic Colin was in the film. Has anyone else seen it? Any favorite scenes?

[Siobh]

heehee!! i saw it too!! I hate chick flicks but i love bridget jones for some reason!! He's just soo cute in it!! with the whole helping her at the end and the things he did for her!! The best part though i have to say is when him and Hugh Grant are pansy fighting again!!...best scenes ever!! there was tears running down my face! brilliance!

[pints]

Thought I'd contribute with a productiveMmmmm....Colin Firth.
I love Pride and Prejudice. When I read it Darcy was wonderful, but Colin Firth was just exquisite. I only wish that the bath scene was a bit longer...

[gingerbookworm]

Wow, I'm so glad someone has created this thread! I've just registered here but I wanted to give my contribution to the Colin Firth Appreciation!

He is one of the best actors around today. All the films he's made have been top class acting. He's just the perfect gentleman! Bridget Jones has a great cast as well. They are top notch actors.

On BJ2 - I understand where the critics are coming from as it's not based so closely on the book as the first one, but as a film in itself it's HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!! I don't think I'll ever tire of Bridget Jones films! I have watched the first one about a million times. I always cry at the end. I just love the fairy tale aspect. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Kehlen Crow]

I love Pride and Prejudice. When I read it Darcy was wonderful, but Colin Firth was just exquisite. I only wish that the bath scene was a bit longer...

Really? And as for me it is the only scene I'd delete from there. I don't know why but it seem absolutely, well, not Austin's.

[hazelle]

Colin Firth. :drool: Enough said. ;)

[true_heir_of_slyth]

:welcome:, gingerbookworm and hazelle! *waves madly* Hope we'll be seeing you around here often :)

Glad to hear everyone in here's enjoying BJD2 :D I still haven't seen it- I've got exams at school, so what with one thing and another I haven't had time to go: but as soon as I get a free weekend I'll be dashing down to the cinema like a shot :lol:

the BJD site (http://www.bridgetjonesmovie.com) has lots of Darcy goodies... some lovely wallpapers and a screensaver, if you rummage around :) And it's a pretty site anyway, go and look at all the nice colours :lol:

:slyth: Slythy xx

[Kehlen Crow]

I'm going to BJD2 this saturday, with a friend from CF's fanclub :p

Hope the film is as funny as they say it is :D

[SarahBetz1]

Just saw BJD and I loved it! I loved the fight scene, the mushroom scene and the romantic Mark Darcy!

[Kehlen Crow]

I also saw BJD2 this weekend and I liked it :)
The last scene is great!

And I think Hugh looked much better in this film. :eyebrows:

But as to the film in general it is more like a funny story then real life.
It is exactly the same thing with the books - the 1st feels closer to reality then the second.

[bridg2ette]

And I think Hugh looked much better in this film. :eyebrows:



I totally agree with you! I was thinking the entire movie how much hotter Hugh Grant looked in this movie. Of course Colin will always be #1 for me, but Hugh's pretty high on my list as well :)

[true_heir_of_slyth]

Well, looking on Mr. Firth's IMDB page (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000147/), I've found a couple of films we haven't heard anything about yet: Where the Truth Lies (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373450/) and Toyer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0369025/). Looks like we may have some new films to gush over soon, ladies :D

EDIT: Ooh, he's playing a madman in Toyer. It'll be nice to see him stretching his acting abilities :D maybe we won't be gushing over him in that film, then :lol:

And I still haven't seen BJD II :lol:

:slyth: Slythy xx

[123LRSC]

Oh, I love Colin Firth. I saw Bridget Jones last week and he looks as amazing as ever. I had a *discussion* with my friends about who was better- Colin Firth or Hugh Grant- needless to say, Colin won, lol. He is so refined, thats my word to describe him, lol! :)

[Kehlen Crow]

Have you seen this (http://www.maketradefair.com/en/index.php?file=dumped_colin.htm)?
lol.

[bridg2ette]

Have you seen this (http://www.maketradefair.com/en/index.php?file=dumped_colin.htm)?
lol.

Haha what the heck is going on in this picture? Of course he's as good looking as ever, but I'm a tad confused right now...lol

[Kehlen Crow]

Judging by the subscript it's some action of support of the coffee producers :D

[Guardian Angel]

Kehlen Crow - I love those four pictures of Colin! Hehehehe, saved them all and the one where he's TOTALLY covered in... [Coke? Coffee?] something... is on my desktop. Mmmmm. :drool:

[true_heir_of_slyth]

Heeheehee! Look at his expression! :rotfl: *falls apart laughing* It's really great Colin's supporting a fair trading organisation :D And was prepared to let them pour coffee all over them :lol:

[Sweetie]

He's gorgeous, of course. I loved him in Pride and Prejudice especially...although he wasn't as yummy as Alan Rickman in Sense and Sensibility.

[92grg92]

Pride and Prejudice is my all time favorite movie ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever he is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! although according to my mom (also a fan) he has been in some pretty bad parts and movies more recently.... also hes much older now than in Pride and Prejudice....

O I forgot... he was EXQUISITE in Girl With a Pearl Earring!!!!

[true_heir_of_slyth]

He's gorgeous, of course. I loved him in Pride and Prejudice especially...although he wasn't as yummy as Alan Rickman in Sense and Sensibility.
:welcome: (and hello to another Rickman fan- there's an AR thread in the Muggle Studies section, in case you're interested :))
Pride and Prejudice is my all time favorite movie ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever he is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
And another :welcome: to you! :D He is beautiful in Pride and Prejudice :)
although according to my mom (also a fan) he has been in some pretty bad parts and movies more recently.... also hes much older now than in Pride and Prejudice....
It's the same with a lot of actors, though... they make some great films, and some... not so great films ;) The great thing about the films Colin makes is that you never know quite what you're going to get next. I mean, he went from Pride and Prejudice to Fever Pitch...

EDIT: whoops, completely forgot to say what I came in here to say :lol: I saw BJD II last night :D Loved it. Darcy was so adorable... my favourite lines had to be:

DARCY: Bridget- wait. (Bridget stops) That's not your coat.

:lol:

and-

DARCY: All I did was go to the loo...

:slyth: Slythy xx

[123LRSC]

BJD II is an amazing film! I love the fight scene- its hiarious! It has to go down in history as one of the greatest fights ever, lol! :)

Mmmmmhh, very good looks in The Edge of Reason. :drool:
I´ve read the book and was wondering how they´d explain that the actor Colin Firth is being interviewed in the story while Colin Firth was actually playing a character.... They left that out though.... :sigh:

That's is unfair. YES IT IS. Because the Colin interview has got to be the BEST part of Edge of Reason! I've read it like 40 times!

I know it'd be so hard to make the scene, but still... I wanted to see it so bad.

*cries*

Ah, it doesn't matter... [I mean it does, but I'll get over it ;)]

I really can't wait to see it! I heard it'd be out in January here... Long time to wait, I know.

[KANDISLUVSSNAPE]

Yes, yes, yes! I love Colin Firth!!!!! He is the "other" beautiful man that i am obsessed with! :blush:

[true_heir_of_slyth]

It's a real shame the film isn't more loyal to the book. That was the only complaint I had. And to be honest, it didn't really bother me while I was watching it, because it's one of those great films that can stand alone :)

Argh, January, Milka? That's far too long... *hugs* ;)

EDIT: :welcome: to the forums Kandis!

[bridg2ette]

Sorry, Milka, I was waiting for that part, too. But the film itself was just hilarious. Bridget was as good as ever so I might see it a second time.

I loved the movie as well. I'll probably see it again sometime soon. By the way, nice icon. After Colin of course, I'd have to say Orlando Bloom has to be the most beautiful man I have ever laid eyes on. He should have kept the long blonde hair though, lol. yum.

[destructo girl]

I should make it a New Year's Resolution to watch all the movies he's been in. He's a great actor and oh so hot :P So far I've seen Bridget Jones's Diary, Love Actually, & What A Girl Wants. I wonder if video stores have Pride and Prejudice available to rent? It's a series right?

What's your favorite Colin Firth movie? Mine so far is Bridget Jones's Diary, I've seen that movie so many times it's pathetic. It's my ultimate cheer-me-up movie, when I feel blue, I just pop it in. :D

[Guardian Angel]

That is a great thing to hear! If it's not loyal to the book, just let it be GOOD then. Great! :)

Argh, January, Milka? That's far too long... *hugs* ;)
Yes, I know! But I will survive... I mean, if I can deal with the fact my little break starts on December 31, I can deal with this too... Anyways, thank you, Slythykins! ;) *hugs back*

Colin Firth tops my 'men I most want to.. um, meet' List.
Anyone who has seen P+P cannot deny he is a GOD..

[true_heir_of_slyth]

Hmm, favourite Colin film? *dithers* um... does Pride and Prejudice count as a film? It's pretty much the ultimate Colin piece, so I'll vote for that one, even if it's strictly a series :p
Colin Firth tops my 'men I most want to.. um, meet' List.:lol: and :welcome: to the thread (and the forums), Corgan!

Colin Firth has been added to my list of hot men since I saw the first Bridget Jones movie about a month ago. I don't know why he didn't catch my attention ages ago?

What's your favorite Colin Firth movie? Mine so far is Bridget Jones's Diary, I've seen that movie so many times it's pathetic. It's my ultimate cheer-me-up movie, when I feel blue, I just pop it in. :D

Most definitely my favorite Colin Firth movie has to be Pride and Prejudice. The Importance of Being Earnest, Girl With a Pearl Earring and Bridget Jones Diary are up there as well.

[Kehlen Crow]

P&P is best of course, and BDDI is a close second, but I'd say lord Wessex in Shakespeare in Love is one of my favorite "evil" persons

I'm looking for my Mr.Darcy.. he has to be Colin Firth Darcyish in everyway or I dont want him. I'll be looking around the corners of the party tonight to see if theres a tall dark stranger smouldering.. oooh... mr.Darcy..

[Guardian Angel]

Have seen Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. FINALLY.

It was so so so so great! V. sweet and funny and cute! It made me all warm and fuzzy from inside, hehe. Hugh Grant was awesome, people, we mustn't deny it. Renee too. But who was the best of the trio, hehe? COLIN, MY LOVE, OF COURSE. I couldn't stop grinning whenever he'd be on. I loveth Marc Darcy! :love:

They didn't stick to the book v. much, just like Slythy told me, but it was still an awesome movie. Yayness. :)

Also, watched Trauma. Colin is brilliant in this one! Oooh. But those ants SCARE me. Not to mention spider.... *dies*

[snape_sinclaire]

My mom's in love with Colin Firth at the moment. It's my fault for letting her watch Bridget Jones:The Edge of Reason with me. :rolleyes: She's moved from Hugh Grant to Colin Firth in the course of one movie....
but I honestly think he's cooler and kinda cuter too...;)

MUM: but isn't he a bit... old?
ME: *covers ears* lalalala, I'm not listening.

My reasoning is this: he's younger than my dad, therefore it's OK :D

Milka- you've seen Trauma! *is jealous* Everyone mentions the ants... :scared:

Well, it usually happens like this:
I buy a new DVD with Colin Firth, dad enters the room, sees me watching and says with a little laugh in his voice - "Is it your favorite author again"?
But we're going in the right direction - him and my mom already remember that "this guy" is called Colin Firth.

You know, it is sometimes good that your parents are older then of other guys of your own age - you may always say "This guy isn't so old that he could be my dad/grandad - he's from my parent's generation/he could be a kid of my parents :p

[leverystrange]

Who do you think Colin could play if he had a part in Harry Potter?
