What's the best P&P? |
Me, too!
The story is actually a fairly close match for me and DH! 18 years of marriage and still going strong... |

I don't purposely rewatch movies normally but there are several I can watch again and again and still enjoy them.
I'm very much a "rom-com girl" so everything by Richard Curtis is by far the best in the genre for me: Four Weddings and a Funeral Noting Hill Both Bridget Jones Love Actually About Time There are several other romcoms not by Curtis but also always enjoyable like: Only You Sliding Doors Under the Tuscan Sun Sleepless in Seattle And my favorite-favorite are Linklater's "Before" movies - probably the first two more so than the last one, but those I really can watch for the rest of my life (and I do hope that the new ones are going to happen every several years - we will grow old together
And when I just want something light, happy and fun: Ferris Bueller's Day Off Some Like it Hot |
The BBC Mini with Colin Firth! I've got it on DVD and I DVR'd one of the many times Ovation has marathoned it. I've subjected my husband to it so much we get into arguments about which episode to watch. He says if he has to sit through it, he doesn't want to see anything before Elizabeth goes to Pemberly. |

I've stared watching this several times. I can't get over that I don't find the female lead pretty enough. I'm shallow like that. And that's why I love watching the Keira Knightly one-because I think she's beautiful in the movie. |
That's so funny because I think the opposite. Jennifer Ehle (in the Colin Firth edition) I think is gorgeous, and I always laugh that various characters have to state that her sister, Jane, is "the beautiful one" because Elizabeth is much more attractive. I don't find Keira Knightley even remotely attractive, but Rosamund Pike is gorgeous. And in that version I think there is only one short passing reference to Jane's looks. We should start our own P&P thread! |
I think it was good casting though. Elizabeth is The Smart One and Jane is the Pretty One. Jennifer Ehle is pretty enough, but she's not a knock out. The thing I find unbelievable is the actress cast as Charlotte Lucas is supposed to be plain, but IMO she's just as good looking as Jane. Meanwhile, Keira Knightly is gorgeous and so is the actress playing Jane. Either of them could be the Pretty One. |
