    I loved both the BBC and Keira Knightley versions of Pride & Prejudice. They each increase my love for the book. I also love the Emma Thompson version of Sense and Sensibility.

    I don't think Pride & Prejudice works well at a feature film length, the mini series was definitely the way to go.  Plus, there's no beating Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy.

    Surprisingly though, I did like the feature film length version of Jane Eyre with Michael Fassbender.  The mini series version of that was great as well, but I do prefer the casting they did for the movie.

    I feel exactly the opposite. I think both versions work extremely well depending on your mood. Junewhatevs.

    I loved the BBC version, but couldn't get into the Keira Knightly one. I'm not a huge fan of Keira Knightly though, so there is that.

    This is a weird one because I feel like the book and movie are only distant cousins or something. They are almost not even the same thing. 

    I did love the movie though.

    My uncle says that Forrest Gump is ten million times better as a movie. I didn't even know it was a book until he told me.
    I agree. This book is terrible. I mean, really awful.

    So not a fan of the book at all.

    Bridget Jones' Diary (the movie was better than the spare writing in the book, as I recall).
    Ditto Princess Bride and Devil Wears Prada.
    My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.

    Hands down The Princess Bride.
    Others for me would be Bridget Jones, The Notebook, Casino Royale, and Gone With the Wind.
