Which Pride & Prejudice Movie Is Your Favorite?

I do love Jane Austen, so I've seen quite a few versions of Pride and Prejudice. The version you mentioned is definitely high up there on my list! I also really enjoyed Bride and Prejudice with it's Bollywood take on the story! But I am a huge Keira Knightley fan, so I'm going to have to say that the 2005 version is my absolute favorite.

The version with Colin Firth has to be my favorite. The newest version with Keira Knightly was good, but it cut out so many things. Jane Austen's wit, humor and ironic views of her society are very entertaning. I would have liked to have met her.

I will have to agree with you Sassy. That was my favorite movie adaption of the book "Pride & Prejudice". I loved all the actors & actresses. They made the story come to life.

The version with Kiera Knightly is good, even though romance movies aren't my cup of tea...well not those sweeping gushy ones any way.

i like the newest one which staring Kiera Knightly.

My favorite is the one with Colin Firth. Excellent cast and he was perfection.

I can't really choose which one is better since I'm just about to download the Colin Firth version but I can say that I LOVED the 2005 movie starring Keira Knightly! I have tried to read the novel when I was 10 but I failed to understand or comprehend the story so I hid it in my shelf, hoping that one day I'd understand it too, and there went the movie and I was inspired now to read it. And I am reading it. I liked the movie version because it made me understand the book in a very concise film and I loved the actor who played Mr. Darcy! I did see movies of Colin but I think Matthew suits Mr. Darcy better! Well this is in my opinion of course. I don't know, he just looks more vulnerable for me and better. haha! Oh well, I soo love Pride and Prejudice!=)

To me there is absolutely no competition. It has to be the 1995 BBC version with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. The stars had a great chemistry and they played the roles beautifully. In fact, all the characters did. When i read the book after i could easily see from the words on the page the characters in the book. It was also very good because they didn't rush it too much, they let the show go at it's own pace and included all the bits and pieces so you weren't left feeling a bit lost. I don't think you could make a better version of it! I like it too because the place they filmed as Pemberly is actually Lyme Hall/Park, which is near where i live!!

The kiera Knightley version was ok, though it was too rushed and "hollywoodised" for me. Kiera Knightly is not a natural elizabeth bennet, she was too giggly and girly for me. And matthew mcfadden was a bit wooden as mr darcy, which is strange because i've seen him in other stuff and he's been v good. Oh well

If you haven't seen the BBC version you have to, quick!!! It's brill!!

Like you, the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice is my favorite. I think that Colin Firth in particular made a perfect Mr. Darcy --much better than the one who played opposite Keira Knightly. I think the BBC version was really good because it basically was the book. Very little dialogue, etc. seems to have been left out. Of coure, that is one of the reasons it is so long. The movie with Keira Knightly had great scenery and was beautiful to look at, but I don't think it really did the book justice. I know that a lot of people like the ending that shows Elizabeth and Darcy after their marriage. I think I read somewhere that that ending was only shown in the American version of the movie and that in Great Britain that scene was omitted because it didn't "play as well" there. Does anybody know if that is the case?

I like the 1995 edition. It is loyal to the original. The actors play very perfectly,such as Mr. Darcy's pride and Miss Elizabeth's prejudice.
