The Best Pride and Predjudice Ever!!!!
I first saw this fantastic miniseries when I was a freshman in highschool and have been in love with it ever since. They setting, costumes, and characters were all chosen and cast to perfection. I espescially loved Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. He is such a great actor and he makes you want to hate him for the way he is so snobbish, but yet you still feel sorry for him when Elizabeth rejects him. Plus he is one sexy guy, and looks really good in his Regency Era clothes. If you want further proof of what kind of hold this series has over people, my Dad will usually run from the room when he hears or sees anything lovey dovey. But with this movie he actually will sit down and ask about it. The last time we watched it, he was the first one in front of the tv after dinner! The only thing I have to say bummed me out was the fact that Jane Austen never wrote a sequel for us to enjoy!

Excellent film and true to the book
I absolutely love Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and was a little wary of what the movie would be like. But I was pleasantly surprised. The movie follows the book very closely and most of the dialogue is from the book. I agree with the other readers that it is very enjoyable and hard to not watch in one sitting. Colin Firth is great as Mr. Darcy. His looks are very expressive. I think he captures the Darcy of the book perfectly. The only criticism I have with the movie is that there are a couple scenes where they didn't bring out the drama from the book. When Elizabeth reads Darcy's letter after her refusal of his marriage proposal, they do not have her read the whole letter, nor do they show the change of her feelings after she reads the letter when she realized how wrong she had been to be so blindly partial to Wyckham and so blindly prejudiced against Darcy. Also, when he leaves her after she tells him her sister ran off with Wyckham, the movie doesn't portray the agony she goes through in the book. In the book, she realizes she loves him now, but thinks she will never see him again because how could he associate with her when her sister has this relationship with his enemy Wyckham? A sentence or two from her would have been great there. She does say, "I will never see him again" in the movie, but just a little more would have brought out her agony. The movie is fantastic, though. Enjoy!

Obsession
Having found the book, Pride and Prejudice, somewhat late in life, I was surprised at what a treasure it surely is. Having completed it once, I immediately began it again. And then in wishing so fervently for these new best loved characters to come to life, I searched Amazon for what might be available. This BBC/A&E miniseries is as much a treasure as the book itself. The cast is superb and the production is something of which I think Jane Austen herself would be proud. I have watched it as many as 4 times now, and I am still mesmerized by it.
