Bridget Jones’s Diary is one of the most iconic British rom-coms out there. Not only does it feature a clumsy, hilarious and relatable lead character for many people out there, it also has Huge Grant and Colin Firth quite literally butting heads for the affection of Bridget.
Whilst the first film is the most well-known, there are three films in the Bridget Jones series. These are Bridget Jones’s Diary, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Bridget Jones’s Baby. All of them are perfect movies to settle down with over a glass of wine and copious amounts of chocolates this Valentine’s Day.
If you want to go on a Bridget binge, then you’re in luck. We’ve rounded up all the places to watch the films – whether its streaming, renting or buying. We also have similar articles for Mamma Mia!, 10 Things I Hate About You and Ghost.
Where to watch Bridget Jones’s Diary
The first film is undoubtedly the best one of three, in which Bridget is trying to make her way in the big city and turn her life around by keeping track of her goals and love life in her diary. She eventually finds herself in a love triangle with two men – her colleague Daniel Cleaver and an old family friend, Mark Darcy.
