Really, there's something sexy about Hugh's unapologetically caddish attitude.

I'm partial to Colin myself, even though he acts like he's got a stick up the arse.

Colin Firth gets my vote

Colin Firth- there's something about him. Hugh seems sloppy to me.

My friend is commanding me to type COLIN FIRTH! So yes, Colin Firth. She "Broadwayworld stalks" me, so this is in her honor. She went to an advanced screening of Bridget Jones' Diary 2, and says it's "really good."

Colin Firth... but why pick one if you have them both in Bridget Jones's movies... and Love Actually?

I loved Bridget Jones Diary so much. I hope the sequel isn't disappointing.

Colin Firth is great. Please tell me i'm not the only one who has seen the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice!? Great movie!

Don't worry, sweetiedarlinmia. I pull that one out regularly. Mr. Darcy coming out of that lake has my vote as one of the greatest moments on film.

In case you couldn't tell, COLIN FIRTH.

See, Plum asked if this was really a contest, but I can't believe the unanimity (is that a word?) for Colin Firth! I thought there be a little bit of competition at least!

I CANNOT WAIT for BJD2. I'm anxious to see how Bridget's time in prison turns out.

I like them both, truthfully. Acting-wise, they both tend to play the same character in every movie they're in. Hugh is the foppish lovable cad and Colin is the stiff yet somehow lovable guy who was cheated on and thus is MORE lovable. Hugh was really likable in Nine Months I thought. Colin was GREAT in Pride and Prejudice. And they were both wonderful in both Bridget Jones and Love Actually.
EDIT: Took out my lame political joke. You're welcome.

Colin Firth. Not only is he gorgeous, but he has the single best line in "Bridget Jones' Diary":
"Wait a minute; noce boys don't kiss like that."
"Oh, yes they f***ing do."

Colin Firth sends shivers down my spine. HOT DAMN.

Colin Firth.

No contest.

Don't you think he would make a great Robert Langdon? (DaVinci Code. Angels & Demons. ???)

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/23/04 at 2:32am

Yes, I think he would, actually. Better than Hugh Jackman. (And I'd see like to see Hugh in anything. And nothing, at the same time. )

C'mon now people, Hugh Grant has twice the charm of Colin Firth. Open your eyes!!!

Nuh uh! Colin Firth is a truly lovely man . I had the privliege of meeting him & some of his family & he is a real mensch, kind, funny, got a nice built on him too! (Behave!) Hugh is still playing the little boy lost game & its gotten real old ( as has he!!!)

[Mamie]

Oh - I think Hugh would be a terrific guy to know, in the Webster's sense.

Colin would be a terrific guy to know, in the BIBLICAL sense.

(I couldn't agree more about the lake scene in "Pride")

Colin Firth all the way!

I just watched "Fever Pitch" last night- I think that's my favorite Firth movie. He's just adoreable there!

As most of you know, I despise movies, so I haven't seen the film. I did, however, read the novel this past summer and thought it was a nice piece of fluff.

It is my dream to see Hugh Grant play Henry Higgins in MY FAIR LADY. I think I'd set up campu inside the theater every weekend!

Hugh Grant gets my vote!
