Pride and Prejudice

In 1995, the BBC released a new version of Pride and Prejudice starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. A few years later, my cousins made me watch the 300 minute extravaganza they had rented from the library, and I was hooked. To me, this is the definitive Pride and Prejudice. I love Mrs. Bennet, and Darcy and Elizabeth are perfect. If you have not seen this version, you must! While the BBC version is not visually stunning compared to the 2005 film (which I love to watch as well), the BBC version offers a script that is very close to the novel and superb acting.
