I just re-watched Northanger Abbey (I'd already watched it a bunch of times, but not in the past few months), and it is most definitely my favorite Austen adaptation ever. I think if I had to rate my favorite Austen movies, they would go

Okay, since the rest of your list is spot-on what I would choose (though I think I'd flip the last two) I really must track down the ITV version of Northanger Abbey.

ooo! you have a Gidget layout! your awesomeness knows no bounds!

[eronn_actually]

I was tempted to flip the last two as well, but Persuasion is my second-favorite Austen book at the moment, so it didn't seem right to put it last.

And the Northanger Abbey that I love is the one that'll be on TV on the 20th! So if you have PBS, you can watch it or tape it or whatever.

Ha ha, thanks. :D I love Gidget.

yay! I will set my DVR. So. Excited. I loves me some great Austen adaptations!

Also, FWIW, I think the Persuasion adaptation that will be on PBS tomorrow night is worth watching, too.

This version of Mansfield Park is pretty good - Frances O'Connor plays Fanny.

I also liked the BBC miniseries of it: This one

Ooh, yes. I like that Mansfield Park. After I read the book, though, I realized I liked it because Fanny was much spunkier in the movie and I didn't like book-Fanny very much at all.

I actually really don't like that one. I haven't seen the BBC one, though.

Hey, Chris from game night tonight. Would love to read about stuff more recent!

I'm adding you now!

Although be forewarned, I tend to whine a lot in here. I really am not as whiny as I come across in text - I just forget to write about the good stuff. :D
