Well, with all the P&P talk lately, and how I've been on a P&P kick, I decided this would be a perfect fit to start off my week.

For anyone who has not seen the BBC version of this movie (the 5 hour mini-series starring Colin Firth), you must. Yeah, it can be viewed as a chick flick, but more importantly, it's the closest adapation to the book that's ever been done, and it stays true to the 18th century life.

Acting, directing, everything was superb!

Synopsis:

In this lavish adaptation of Jane Austen's classical romance, Elizabeth Bennett is a strong-willed yet sensible young woman in a well-off but lower class family with five sisters, a long-suffering but loving father and a mother anxious to marry them to wealthy young gentlemen. At a local ball, she encounters one such wealthy young man, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy - and as Mr. Darcy is arrogant, cold and rude, it is hatred at first sight. As her older sister Jane falls in love with Mr. Darcy's best friend Mr. Bingley, and her youngest sister Lydia flirts with anyone in a military uniform, Lizzie finds herself fighting off the attentions of the unctuous Mr. Collins and quite taken by the charming Mr. Wickham - who also happens to be an enemy of Mr. Darcy. However, as the characters succumb in many ways to pride and prejudice, Lizzie learns that not all is quite as it seems...and that Mr. Darcy might not be so disagreeable after all.

My mom and sister both have this on DVD. I have seen it at least twice. It's okay.

Can I just how much I love this freaking movie? And also, how pleasantly surprised I was when, after doing a search, found out that I made this one of my movie a day's? Even three years later and I still love it
