Hailed as "the best Austen of all" by The New York Times and deemed "one of the best things ever done for television anywhere" by Sneak Previews, this brilliant adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel is A&E’s most popular title ever. Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth (Shakespeare in Love) star in this Emmy-winning production.

Summary: My favorite movie
Comment: Of the four versions of Pride and Prejudice that I have viewed, this is by far the best, not only in superior acting (from the main characters down to the bit players), quality of filming, and superb costumes, but also in the authenticity of the film as true to the book.
My second choice would be the Greer Garson version from the 40's; while not as accurate to the book, it is still an enjoyable movie to watch, even if Lizzy is a bit too caustic with her wit in that version.
My third choice is the BBC version from the 80's, which though accurate is rather dull in acting and filming.
The worst I have seen is the 2005 version which reduces this story to a romance only and has poor acting in the supporting roles.

Summary: I knew not what I was missing.
Comment: The title of the book and the film never seemed to appeal to me. When Amazon had this as a Gold Box Deal I thought 1,500 reviews couldn't be wrong.
WOW, I love it. Mr. Darcy such a character. You cannot stand his attitude when you first meet him but you love his looks. I knew Miss Elizabeth loved and hated him right from the the start. Being a romantic at heart the looks they exchange.....hmmmm young love.
If you have never seen it, this is a very nice edition. The film is beautiful in sight and feelings. The costumes are so finely done. I highly recommend this edition.
I will note that with an HDTV and upconverting DVD player it is very nearly in HD, considering it was made in 1996 I consider this a very high quality set.

Summary: Best Film Adaptation
Comment: I have watched the A&E film version of "Pride and Prejudice" more times than may seem reasonable. However, this is really a fantastic production that is true to the novel without being overburdened by the text. The acting is superb and truly brings Austen's characters to life, especially Mr. Darcy played admirably by Colin Firth. You will not be sorry you purchased this film nor regret the 6 hours it takes to reach the end.

Summary: The Quintessential Adaptation!!!!
Comment: This is by far the best adaptation of the classic novel that I have ever seen! The first time that I saw this movie on A&E 10 years ago I fell in love with it before I had read the book. I was afraid to read the book at first because it has always been my experience that the books are always better than the movie versions they inspire. After reading the book I found my fears to be unfounded! This production is so close to the book that the majority of the dialogue is taken directly out of the text! The sets and costumes are absolutely gorgeous! Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle just sparkle together as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. In my humble opinion this is the only version of the story that is worth repeated viewings! It is one of my favorite movies ever!!!

Summary: The Ultimate Chick Flick
Comment: I just love this version of Jane Austin's story. The book was amazing, but I believe this is very good and true to the story. Of course, the details of the book can't all be included, but this includes quite a bit due to the amazing 5 hour duration! They did add some things not in the book, but I thought they were good additions. The acting is wonderful, inspiring the full range of emotions. I also love the Kyra Knightly version, and Bride & Prejudice, but this is the one I chose to purchase for my video library. It's a MUST HAVE for Chick Flick lovers!
