Could someone please tell me some good Colin Firth films/tv shows?

If you loved Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy then Bridget Jones' Diary is a must watch. Helen Fielding based the whole plot of Bridget Jones on Pride and Prejudice so Firth is essentially playing a modern version Mr. Darcy. The movie is fantastic. Colin Firth hasn't really landed many memorable roles outside of these films with the exception of last year's King's Speech and he doesn't play very similar roles in his films. However, there are some other good films with him in it, as the lead or as a supporting cast. I would recommend A Single Man, Love Actually (this is an anthology film so there are multiple story lines going on), Girl With A Pearl Earring (story behind the famous Vermeer painting), Shakespeare In Love (he is a side character but the movie has so many other great points), and Valmont (remake of Dangerous Liaisons, the ultimate bitchfest).
