I too love this movie so much. Emma Thompson is so divine.
Right now I'm watching Pride and Prejudice. The old one with Colin Firth as Darcy.
I really love Emma Thompson in that scene where her sister is dying and she freaks out and says, "Don't leave me here alone."
Don't you think that's a phenomenal scene????
It's kind of neat that Rickman is in 2 of the best movies of all time! Playing such disparate roles. Yay, Rickman! Bring on the final Potter!
Excellent, excellent choice.
Owen Jenkins, Jane Austen scholar and legendary English professor, claimed that this was a perfect movie and, in fact, had corrected the errors that Austen had made in the novel. And Austen is, of course, the greatest novelist of all time. So that was high praise.
He also loved Clueless. Thought it was a fine representation of the perfect novel, Emma.
Thinking I should watch P & P with Colin Firth. It's one of the few movies I own. If I want to watch it, I should.
