We're always looking for those performances that truly define an actor, where we can sit back and simply watch the talent soar. For Colin Firth, "A Single Man" is that film. Until now probably best known for his work in the "Bridget Jones" films -- the stuffy, sensitive suitor forever in the shadow of Hugh Grant's roguish charmer -- his portrayal of George, the single man that he imbues with amazing grace, should change all that.

A Single Man
George (Colin Firth) is a college professor who recently lost his lover, Jim (Nicholas Hoult), in a car accident. Grief-stricken beyond words, George plans to commit suicide. As he goes about his daily routine and puts his affairs in order , encounters with colleagues, students and an old friend (Julianne Moore) lead George to make a final decision as to whether his life is worth living without Jim.
