Bridget Jones's Diary (2001) - Sharon Maguire

I am sad that I will never direct a scene as iconic and as ruddy brilliant as the fight scene between Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver. Colin Firth and Hugh Grant are two of the greatest British actors of the modern era, and this scene just gets me every time, with a fantastic soundtrack of It's Raining Men by the Weather Girls. Oh yeah!

I Give it a Year (2013) - Dan Mazer

It was good for a romcom. Stephen Merchant didn't feature as heavily as he was advertised, but I suppose that's because all his bits were the best. It was watchable and a nice twist on the usual mundane British romance film, but it failed to do what Love Actually (2003) - Richard Curtis and Bridget Jones's Diary (2001) - Sharon Maguire did do: redefine the genre.
