Absolutely, far and away the best adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice". Jennifer Ehle is wonderful as the witty, playful Elizabeth Bennet. Colin Firth is the ONLY Darcy. I've watched it more times than I can count and it never gets old.…

Rewatched for the first time in ages. I love this film so very much. I cannot imagine a better interpretation of Pride and Prejudice. The casting was perfect. The chemistry between Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle was magical. And while…

A very well done rendition of Jane Austen's classic novel! The miniseries stayed so true to the book, in fact much of the script was in Jane Austen's own words. The costumes, houses, and scenery are absolutely beautiful, and the casting…
Colin Firth is totally the perfect Darcy- I loved his character! This movie kindly stayed close to the book;) For all you Pride and Prejudice people, just saying you will love this!!!!!!

For true, dedicated Jane Austen fans. It's long but worth your time. Because it's so close to the original text, you're not missing out on anything really.

This one is a wonderful version. I love that they stayed close to the book - because after all - it is the book we fell in love with first. Correct costumes, mannerisms, hair, speech - all contribute favorably.

An all-time favorite of mine. Colin Firth is the definitive Darcy and Jennifer Ehle a perfect Elizabeth Bennett, with strong supporting players all around them in a romantic Regency world. It is a delight to see Julia Sawalha portraying…

A great classic for a great classic! P & P is my all time favorite book, I never get tired of it. This wonderful mini series adaptation is excellent. I purchased it because I watch it 2-3 times a year. Very binge worthy!
For everyone who is rabid about this version - may I present an alternative: The BBC 1980 (produced in 1979) version.
It is definitely a lower budget with less saturated colour and Mr. Darcy - while amazingly beautiful - is never wet…

A great classic story of romance and character. Sharp and intelligent dialogue (excluding of course, Mrs. Bennett and Mr. Cummings who are nonsensical by design), delivered exceptionally well by the actors. The sets/locations and…

By far the best, most faithful "Pride and Prejudice" adaptation. The cast is amazing, the sets are beautiful, and costumes and mannerism are as one would expect from the era. Cannot recommend it more.

By far better than the movie version. Every second of the 322 minutes well spent, whereas I was impulsed to fast forwad some parts of the movie version. How unfortunate that there was this Firth's version already, even though I personally…

If you even typed in the search term "Pride and Prejudice" - then this mini-series is for you. Known as one of the better adaptations of the Jane Austen novel, this min-series allows you to really dive into the world of prejudice mainly…
Simply the best film adaptation of the classic book. You'll love the gorgeous scenery, elaborate period costumes, and the witty dialog that's the hallmark of Jane Austen works. I rewatch this about every year with my Mom and sisters -…

Faithfully recreates Jane Austen's masterpiece. The Blu-ray has gorgeous color and hours of special features about the making of this epic. --Laura (See more of my picks by following WoodneathLaura)

Widely considered definitive, and how could you not agree? Jane Austen is doubtless looking down at this production from fluffy Regency clouds in sheer delight. This work depends on Elizabeth from beginning to end, and Jennifer Ehle…

Perfection. There is not a single facet I would change. I love to read the book and then see this - beautiful and rich in the details and nuances of the period. Loved it so much, that I bought this 10yrs ago and watch it every year.…
