I don't really like Keira Knigthley as Lizzy, though.

I was surprised how much I loved the BBC version. I'm normally not a fan of book to movies. I finally watched the Kiera Knightly version and it wasn't as bad as I thought.

If you have the time, the miniseries is great... but if you want a shorter version that gets the job done, the movie is good, too.La Coccinellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118313017081994087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503865256230151227.post-87881685810188417342009-09-21T14:45:32.948-04:002009-09-21T14:45:32.948-04:00Amanda,

I guess people either love him, or don't find him attractive. <br /><br />Katie, <br />Well, I love movie soundtracks, so that's another reason for me to pick up the new version <br /><br />Andrea,<br />Good point, maybe I'll love the new version for reasons that are different from why I love the BBC version<br /><br />Mel,<br />It's a long series! Even though I love it, if I have it on as background noise and am really tired I can nod off. That's the great thing about DVDs though. I never have to rewind to find the last scene I saw<br /><br />Krista,<br />Definitely check it out! It's a lot longer than the Knightly version, though. So, you might want to do an hour or two a nightLizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573032476891916726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503865256230151227.post-5253085700365089112009-09-21T14:24:37.906-04:002009-09-21T14:24:37.906-04:00I loved the Keira Knightly version, so good!

(I love all the versions of Pride and Prejudice I've seen for very different reasons so I'm not very helpful.)<br /><br />I always laugh when people pick their favorite based on the actor playing Darcy, I don't usually notice the actor too much as I get so sucked into the story. I guess I notice their acting, if they were really bad I probably wouldn't get sucked in so well. ;)<br /><br />I'm a little bummed I missed this challenge, sounds like it would have been fun. Can't wait for more reviews as you finish it, especially your current read! I hadn't heard of it yet, but I'm very curious. Loved your teaser from last week.kthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111445725125922091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503865256230151227.post-19994549580375496212009-09-21T09:25:54.040-04:002009-09-21T09:25:54.040-04:00I like the Keira Knightly version slightly better....I like the Keira Knightly version slightly better.
