East of Eden (Two-Disc Special Edition)

First to recommend

Description

Oh how I love this movie. Adapted from John Steinbeck's novel and directed by Elia Kazan. This file features James Dean, Julie Harris, and Raymond Massey.

This is just one of those films that get better every time I watch it. Without fail, it makes me cry every time.

Where the Heart Is DVD

First to recommend

This one is not the finest piece of cinema ever created, but is not the worst either and I really enjoy it.

Pregnant teenager gets abandoned by her good-for-nothing boyfriend at Walmart and wackiness ensues. Well not exactly wackiness...this is a drama peeps.

This is one of those movies that never leaves the DVD changer. I watch this whenever I am sick, or down, or in the mood for some Jane Austen.

Persuasion

First to recommend

Description

Oh yes, please. What is more romantic than a long lost (but never forgotten) love breezing back into your life and then fumblingly realizing you can still make a life together? Not much...well, if you are into that kind of thing, which I am.

Rupert Penry-Jones, Sally Hawkins, Alice Krige, Anthony Head, Julia Davis, Michael Fenton Stevens.

I mean - right? Clueless is totally bitchin'. No, really I just love this movie, honestly better than most other versions of Emma. Plus the soundtrack is amazing!

Emma (A&E, 1997)

First to recommend

Description

My favorite version of Emma (that is not Clueless).

My only criticism is that their attempt to film evening dinner scenes and party scenes in as close to candlelight as possible was a little over ambitious. Still, a great film.

Kate Beckinsale, Bernard Hepton, Mark Strong (II), Samantha Bond, James Hazeldine, Dominic Rowan.

Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996)

6 people recommended this item

Description

More faithful than it's 2005 movie adaptation-sibling, this classic version of Pride and Prejudice stays true to the novel, and offers up what is, to me at least, the best Mr. Darcy there has ever been on screen. The feel is very much relaxed whilst sticking to its roots, and does not at all become boring or tiresome. The best thing about this version, where it definitely excels over the 2005 version, is surely in the portrayal of Elizabeth Bennet. If you're in search of a strong woman, then you will find her here.
