Welcome to my homepage! This page is devoted to all things Jane Austen. She is my favourite author, and adaptations of her works are my favourite movies. One of my all-time-favourites is the 1995 BBC adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice", starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth.
Colin Firth as Mr Darcy
For those who don't know, it's a 6-part mini-series produced by Sue Birtwistle and with a fantastic screenplay by Andrew Davies. It's definitely one of the best things I've ever seen, and this opinion hasn't changed after at least 100 viewings! 
Reasons why Pride and Prejudice is the best movie/TV series of all time:
1) No matter how much you watch it, there is always new depth and interest to be found.
2) All aspects of the production don't just stop at the movie. You can go deeper into everything - the themes, the society of the time, the costumes....everything!
3) The casting and acting of the production is brilliant. Every actor contributes to the humour or overall effectiveness of the movie. Even annoying Mary Bennet is great!
4) Mr Darcy is gorgeous, especially when played by Colin Firth!!! ;-)
