Pride & Prejudice!!!

[plumapen]

I know we've all seen this one a bazillion times and always love it, so here's my question:

What is it about this version that you love?

It can't just be Colin and his wet shirt (ok, maybe for some of you it is :P). Seriously though, what do you like about this version, especially the first two hours since that's what they showed tonight

I have to agree with the others. I think the reason this adaptation is seen as the adaptation is because they made it a mini-series and therefore could spend time on the details, which is what makes P&P (the book) so delightful and therefore this version is very enjoyable to watch.

The casting is all around excellent (though I absolutely cannot stand the actress that plays Caroline - I think her performance is TOO over the top and she's just plain freakin' fugly) and so the characterizations can't get much better than this.

Oh, and of course Colin. :P

Hahahaa! You hate Duckface, do you? I have to say I love that we instantly know to hate her because she is so ridiculous- 6 feet tall with a 2 foot feather. I find it so comedic.

!!!!! Duckface!! ROFL!! That's exactly what I think whenever I see her in anything.

If you ever get stuck watching "What a Girl Wants," the actress who plays Caroline is Colin's scheming fiancee in that one too. It's like she's making a career out of playing that type. I want to say she's in another chick flick like Bridget Jones but I can't quite remember which one.

Eeep! They got it. She was Duckface too!
