The best

Of all the movies that have been made of PAP, this is by far the best and hands down the most thorough. I give the credit to the marvelous, Colin Firth who is the quintessential Darcy. Better than the movie with Keira Knightly. It's worth every penny if you are a die hard JA fan.

Love it!

I rented it before I purchased. Needed it for my collection. This is the 1996 Edition from A&E with Colin Firth. Must have. I am not sure of the video quality because I loaned to a friend. I purchased because I wanted the edition.

PRIDE & PREJUDICE

Just what I ordered. Fast delivery. One copy in the house was not enough.

The best of all the versions

If you are going to purchase a copy of Pride & Prejudice, there is no doubt that this is the version to buy. It is spectacular in its scope and depiction of Regency England. The sheer length of the production allows it to do more justice to Jane Austen's book than any mere 2hour movie could do. With that said, it has one very serious drawback - there is not enough about Darcy and Elizabeth. Instead, the movie is awkwardly tilted to focus on Mr. Collins. The movie leaves out many thoughts and interactions of Darcy and Elizabeth relating to each other and yet these are the main characters of the movie and the main characters of one of the most amazing love stories ever written. Consequently, it helps to have read the book at least once if not more times so that you can fill in the missing encounters, thoughts and dialogue. Nonetheless, after repeated viewings, I simply fast-forwarded through most of Mr. Collins' scenes which really highlighted how much of the movie disproportionately focused on him. But because of the resources that went into the film, the quality of the actors, and the attention to the detail of the period, this production still remains the best. The "extra" material is useless (as it is in the anniversary version so buy this cheaper one).

Beautifully made and acted but very LONG

The acting is superb but the plot develops very SLOWLY. The whole thing is about 5 hours. If you like Colin Firth, this movie is for you. If you prefer a faster pace, try the Keira Knightley version.
