Colin Firth is far and away one of my favorite actors of all time. He's all upright and stodgy and sexy and proper and British – and he's an amazing thespian, at that. There are tons of his movies that I can – and do – watch over and over and over. You can basically check out his IMDb list to see all of them. For now, however, here are the top 8 Colin Firth movies I can't get enough of.

1. Valmont
/filters:quality(70)/content/z5/j0/stqzc94f54c8f59c1deb7229405966_274x400.jpg)
Price: $24.32 at amazon.com
If you liked Dangerous Liasons or, I don't know, Cruel Intentions, with hot little Sebastian Valmont, then you'll love this movie. Cruel Intentions was loosely based on this and Dangerous Liasons, and it centers around some serious love games – which Firth, as the vile, vicious, oh so delicious Valmont, does extremely well.
2. Pride and Prejudice
/filters:quality(70)/content/kc/oi/mm24b3ia54c8f59d47948155090933_283x400.jpg)
Price: $12.99 at amazon.com
This is actually, technically a mini series, but I don't even care. You know what? Because of Colin Firth, as Mr. Darcy, in a lake, soaked to the bone. I agree with Bridget Jones and all her friends – I could replay that part all day and all night.
3. Bridget Jones's Diary
/filters:quality(70)/content/p0/r5/av504zec54c8f59e63a89858892270_281x400.jpg)
Price: $12.49 at amazon.com
I'm actually cheating; let's pretend like I just named both Bridget Jones' movies. I know a lot of people found them campy – they were. I don't care. This time, Colin Firth as Mark Darcy, in a luscious little play, is just incredible. He's so scrumptious and staid. What's even funnier is that, in the book Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, she interview Colin Firth … about playing Mr. Darcy. Marvelous!
4. A Single Man
/filters:quality(70)/content/nr/gz/gtcasfae54c8f59f651a5846919847_338x400.jpg)

This has quickly become my very favorite Firth movie ever. Based on a book by Christopher Isherwood, which I also love, it is absolutely heartbreaking – and touching and moving and gorgeous, and there are personal reasons it made me love Colin Firth that much more. Also, Nicholas Hoult in this movie – phoowarg!

Colin Firth was meant for Oscar Wilde – and apparently he agrees! I love this story so much – obviously, Oscar Wilde is one of my literary heroes. And I squeal with delight every time I see Colin Firth as Jack. So perfect, so unbelievably perfect!

6. Dorian Gray

He's quite perfect as Lord Henry as well. Dorian Gray's story is my favorite Wildean tale, and I could not have been happier to see Colin in it. I love – well, if you know the story, you probably know what I love, so I won't even go into that!
7. Mamma Mia
/filters:quality(70)/content/ah/ua/vh4ofa0w54c8f5a28a96d371038090_281x399.jpg)
Price: $13.89 at amazon.com
And oh man. I had not ever seen Mamma Mia on Broadway or anything, so seeing it on the big screen was my first taste of all the characters – including Harry. It was so fantastic to see Colin let his hair down – and I'm sorry, but I think his voice is wonderfully sweet.
8. Girl with a Pearl Earring
/filters:quality(70)/content/xa/v1/vcwyi6q954c8f5a38a6c2897834442_267x400.jpg)
Price: $7.49 at amazon.com
Finally, we have Colin as Johannes Vermeer, which is also brilliant. I love this painting, I love the book, and I love the movie. He is just … oh, he is wonder, when he's all moody and broody and tortured and slightly womanizing.
I haven't yet seen The King's Speech, but I can't wait. I know it's going to be absolutely incredible. What actors are you absolutely crazy about?
