Dr Thorne Wives & Daughters Cranford Jane Eyre (there are several--I like the one with Ruth Wilson best, followed by Mia Wasikowska) Forsyte Saga Daniel Deronda Emma (Romola Garai is the best one) Persuasion Mansfield Park (Julia Joyce, not Frances O'Conner) Middlemarch (I have no idea why my spacing is wonky. I can't fix it) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 More Austen versions: Persuasion (1995) -- with Amanda Root Sense and Sensibility (2008) -- short mini-series, almost as lovely as the Emma Thompson film Emma (1996) -- with Kate Beckinsale Pride and Prejudice -- 1995 TV series with Colin Firth; 2005 Keira Knightly movie; 1940 film with Greer Garson and Lawrence Olivier Austen in contemporary settings: Bride and Prejudice (2004) -- modern India/bollywood musical version; not the best acting, but oh so very fun and colorful! Austenland (2013) -- I love this sweet, humorous, gentle poke at Austen while still honoring Austen and romance along the lines of Austen: Becoming Jane (2007) Jane Eyre (2011) Little Women (1994) David Copperfield (1999) Little Dorritt (2008) A Room With A View (1985) Enchanted April (1991) Babette's Feast (1987) Cold Comfort Farm (1995) -- quirky, humorous, 1920s setting, based on the novel Only You (1994) Dear Frankie (2004) Much Ado About Nothing -- both the 1993 Emma Thompson version and 2012 Joss Whedon version along the lines of Hornblower: Master and Commander (2003) Robin Hood (2010) -- with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett Count of Monte Cristo (2002) -- with Guy Pearce and Jim Caviezal -- totally changes the end of the story, but romantic adventure fun John Adams (2008) -- TV series A Knight's Tale (2001) -- medieval honor, with a "rock opera" sound track -- a total guilty pleasure romantic adventure 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
