The Big 5-0

September 07, 2010

Two of my favorite contemporary leading men will be turning 50 this year, and I can't believe they'll be eligible to join the proud membership of AARP!  It just doesn't seem possible.

The two men I'm talking about are Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.  Mr. Grant's birthday is September 9th, and Mr. Firth's birthday in September 10th. 

When I realized they are going to be celebrating a "milestone" birthday this year--and only one day apart--I paused to think about all the great movies they've been in.  Well, I am an Anglophile, so they could read the McDonald's menu to me, and that would be great to me!  Here are a few of the titles available at the library that you might want to check out.  Some of these movies are based on classics of literature, which may get you interested in reading the book as well. 

• Notting Hill
• Sense and Sensibility
• Music and Lyrics
• About a Boy
• Mickey Blue Eyes
• Nine Months
• Mamma Mia
• Pride and Prejudice
• Shakespeare in Love
• Turn of the Screw
• Girl with a Pearl Earring
