For all of you Louisa May Alcott fans out there, you love this gem. It's based on her short story of the same name and I was happy to see this stayed true to the book. Now if only they would do all her books into films..

North & SouthNorth & South
Buy new: $23.99 / Used from: $21.60
I loved North and South as a book. I did think it was a great version on film, but it didn't capture the magic of Wives and Daughters or Crandford for me. I did still buy it though, so I can't say I didn't like it. :)
