Don't worry about the length. This is the definitive adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice". With enough time, this miniseries was able to explore all the wonderful minor characters and quirky interactions.

While some prefer the 1997 TV adaptation, my heart belongs to this 1996 offering with Gwyneth Paltrow. This is probably the most comedic of Austen's adaptation outings, and Jeremy Northam was great as Mr. Knightley.

I absolutely loved BrontÃab's "Jane Eyre", but was always unhappy with the adaptations I had seen. That is until I found this gem. Toby Stephens seems to have finally captured that fire that made Rochester so dashingly intriguing.

I have watched this movie multiple times and love it every time. This delightful adaptation is for anyone delighted with the light-hearted novel.

Peter Jackson's trilogy strays from the novel a bit, but the spirit is alive and well. Make sure to see the extended.

This dashing tale of King Richard's disinherited knight is given full treatment here. Movie adaptations fail to get at the root of the political struggles at the time.

This adaptation missed half of the novel, and the character was significantly toned down. On the other hand, the acting by Sir Laurence Olivier and the rest of the cast make this one the most enjoyable to watch.

Toby Stephens makes another appearance on this list. While his role is compelling, Tara Fitzgerald carried this adaptation as the title character.
