<\/a>Bride and Prejudice<\/strong><\/a>\nBride and Prejudice is Pride and Prejudice gone Bollywood, and it is FANTASTIC. Aishwarya Rai, Bollywood actress and former Miss World, is absolutely stunning as the Elizabeth Bennet character.<\/p>\n
and for those of you who prefer Emma<\/em>:<\/p>\n I admit it. I am definitely one of those girls who watches the BBC presentation of Pride and Prejudice starring Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy over and over and over again. I also watch Bridget Jones’ Diary starring Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy over and over and over again.

<\/a>Lost in Austen<\/strong><\/a>
\nWhat girl wouldn’t want to trade places with Elizabeth for some alone time with Mr. Darcy? Yeah, that is what Amanda thought, too, until she started causing chaos in her beloved story when Mr. Bingley falls in love with her and Jane agrees to marry Mr. Collins. Maybe Miss Austen didn’t tell us the whole story…<\/p>\n![\"Becoming](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.davenportlibrary.com\/reference\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/BecomingJane.gif?fit=1050%2C140&ssl=1\")
<\/a>Becoming Jane<\/strong><\/a>
\nSo Colin Firth will always be my favorite Mr. Darcy, but after seeing James McAvoy as Tom LeFroy, the man who may have inspired the Darcy character, he became my favorite actor. Swoooooon.<\/p>\n![\"Bridget](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.davenportlibrary.com\/reference\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/BridgetJonesDiary.gif?fit=1050%2C140&ssl=1\")
<\/a>Bridget Jones’s Diary<\/strong><\/a>
\nFAVORITE! I went through a phase in college where I watched this movie about once a week, now I watch it about once a month. Ren\u00e9e Zellweger is BRILLIANT as Bridget Jones and Colin Firth is DREAMY as Mark Darcy. Laugh laugh tear giggle swoon laugh.<\/p>\n![\"Pride](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.davenportlibrary.com\/reference\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/PrideAndPrejudice.gif?fit=1050%2C140&ssl=1\")
Pride and Prejudice<\/strong> (the BBC Version)<\/a>
\nBy far THE BEST straight-up movie version of Pride and Prejudice. Some may be daunted by the six hour viewing time, but I say the longer the better (I have been known to watch it twice in a row…).<\/p>\n![\"clueless\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.davenportlibrary.com\/reference\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/clueless.gif?fit=1050%2C140&ssl=1\")

\nLong before he was part of Seth Rogen’s gang, Paul Rudd was the Mr. Knightley to Alicia Silverstone’s Emma of Beverly Hills. Hmmm, this represents a crossover into my other genre fave: teen movies based on classics…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
