I LOVED IT! First of all, the scenery is AMAZING. So beautiful. I watched most of the series in the first night, but had to crawl up to bed at 2. I finished it the next night, and it was so great.
I realized when Elizabeth arrived at Pemberley that I had read the book. Sometimes I get the Austen books mixed up. I really enjoy this story, but of course it drives me crazy that she doesn't tell everyone that Mr. Darcy saved Lydia. But these old fashioned books never do.
I enjoyed all the characters, the men were so handsome, and so were the women.
Definetly worth the 5 hours!
Thanks to all of you who have recommended it over the years, I wasn't disappointed!
Favorite quote: "There are few people whom I really love, and even fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more I am dissatisfied of it."
I also loved when Elizabeth is telling her Dad that she does love Darcy and that she's never known a better man. He replies something like, "Good, because I could never have parted with you otherwise." So great.
I also watched Mansfield Park last week. I liked it. It was on TV, and not a book I had read. But I recommend it.

Sold!! I'm going to order it right now. And I love that Griffin and Nolan are doing their own blog. It kills me how it bothers Nolan that all the Arthur books are about working together. That is annoying!
I love it! So good. I'm glad you liked it. And I feel the same way about Jane Auten books- I always love them and get into it when I'm reading one, but they are all so similar I get them mixed up when I try to remember which is which. But that's ok. I still love them!
i loved it too! of course colin firth was darling in it, but i also love the girl in the bbc version, very playful, but smart, just like i imagine. so i saw a multi pack of all the jane austen movies, wonder if it would've been worth it, haven't seen any of the other bbc ones.
My favorite ever. I get butterflies in my tummy just thinking of the movie. I LOVE it! Now you have to read Austenland. . . or have you?
I'm so glad you watched this! Wonderful! A few years ago Erik was going to be gone for five nights on a business trip so I planned to watch an hour of the movie each night... I watched 3 the first night and finished it the next morning.
Kim--I have the Kiera Knightley one in my queue--you loved that one too right?
Betsy--I did read Austenland (off your recommendation), but seeing the movie gives it even more meaning!
Hey Kammy! (Thanks for stopping by my blog, it seems like every day I find out about someone new I know in the blogosphere.) Okay, now I definitely want to watch this one. I saw the most recent (2005?) version a few months ago and it really got on my nerves. I had a feeling the 5 hour version would do it justice better. My favorite quote from the book is, "Is not general incivility the very essence of love?"
Kammy, I wish I could have watched it with you! Someday, we'll have to get together and have an Austen weekend with Kim Pulley and Stephanie too.
I own this version and have seen it more times than I care to admit! Plus I think I have read it about 5 times. How come I never get sick of this story?! Love it! I love all your comments Kammy!
