10. New Start, New Diary

The end of Bridget Jones’s Diary proves to be one of the most romantic endings to a film ever. Just when you think Mark has gone to New York and left Bridget alone, he comes back just so he can be with her. And, that moment gives us Colin Firth looking his absolute best.

Bridget and her friends are about to take a trip to Paris for the New Year celebrations. When they’re  packing up the car, she slowly turns to see Darcy standing in the snow waiting for her. As they’re about to kiss, her friends ruin it and Mark and Bridget move inside.

This is where Mark shows just how sweet and oblivious he really is. He sees Bridget’s diary and how she used to feel about him and instead of telling Bridget he’s leaving and he’ll return, he just walks out of her apartment without a word.

But, despite Bridget’s thought that he was angry at her, Mark decides that she needs a new diary as they’re having a new start. With Darcy, he has these brilliantly romantic ideas but he just doesn’t know how to go about them properly. And it’s that instinct of his to go and get her another diary so they can start anew that makes him one of the best fictional guys out there.
