My 150 Favorite Movies - #68

Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)

Based on one of my favorite novels, by Helen Fielding, which is in turn a retelling of another favorite, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones's Diary stars those quintessential charm magnets, Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, and Hugh Grant, all in fine form, and playing well together. One of the finest rom-coms, and one of the funniest movies, of the early aughts.
