Rating:  - EXCELLENT
Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996) This is a great product well worth buying. I have already enjoyed it twice since I purchased a month ago. Obviously I am a fan of Darcy (Colin Firth) and this is the best version of this very romantic Jane Austen novel. I highly recommend it.
Rating: - A & E version best
There are several versions out there, all are good, but my wife went crazy when she saw this for the first time. (It was a gift to her.)And she stated it was the best she's ever seen and thinks Colin Firth is fantastic in his role.
Rating: - Loved it!
Bravo. Well done. Though it seems like the longest movie I have ever watched in my life, it is exceptionally well done. Good to watch all the way thought when you are home from work sick and have time on your hands. You can feel the struggle, the joys, and the sadness of these characters and their hopes of finding love. You want to watch it to the very end to see how it turns out. The actors are excellent. The mother, Mrs. Bennet is absolutely whacked in head. This actress did a good job. You want to commit her every time she opens her big mouth. The relationship tension between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy keeps drawing you in to see if they will every get together at the end. The countryside scenes from England were very well chosen. A&E did their homework and it shows!
Rating: - Solid #2
Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996)
This is my second favorite adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. The only reason it is #2 is that new 2005 version's Darcy is more attractive to me. But that's about it. The only minuses of this almost perfect adaptation are:
1)the age of actors - they seem older than written in the book
2)I found Jane Bennett and Caroline Bingley quite unattractive, although they are supposed to be more beautiful than Elizabeth.
Other than that, one of my most favorite movies. Highly recommend!
Rating: - The Absolute Best Pride and Prejudice adaptation!
This version is the best film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice you can find. It is almost as good as the book itself! Do yourself a favor and watch it, especially if you've already seen the recent movie with Keira Knightley.
