I've seen the Laurence Olivier version, the Timothy Dalton version, the Jennifer Ehle/Colin Firth version, the Kiera Knightley/ Matthew McFadden movie version, the Mormon version, the Bollywood version, read and watched Bridget Jones' Diary and its sequels, and seen most of the Lizzie Bennett diaries on youtube.

And I've got to agree with the rabble - I think Jennifer was amazing as Elizabeth, miles ahead of the other Elizabeths and even better than Firth was as Darcy (and he is perfect in both this and BJD). I also think the 1995 version is the truest to the book - probably because as a miniseries it could proper weight to all parts of the story.

Sorry OP.

(To prove I'm not just a sheeple, I actually think the Mormon version is just as good a modern adaptation as BJD. And I didn't really like the Kiera Knightley version, though I don't know if that's a popular opinion or not.)

I disliked the Keira Knightley version. The casting wasn't great, but it was mostly the fault of the writing, IMO. It lost a lot of that Jane Austen flavor by modernizing the language.

Not only modernizing, but having the characters say out loud a lot of what was left unsaid in the book because it would have been obvious to the readers at the time. Really, you can't think of any other way to show why Charlotte is marrying Mr. Collins other than to have her scream at Lizzie about how her father has other children to feed and, "I'm frightened, Lizzie, I'm frightened! So don't you dare judge me!"

Really, movie?
