What is the most authentic film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice?
There are several different versions of the story in film form and I want to watch the one that is most accurate to the book. I like reading the book first then comparing it to the film.
The A&E/ BBC version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle is the best. Unlike most film adaptations, it was a mini-series, so they had more time to work with to fully develop the story. There are obviously parts left out and things that get altered, but it’s still very true to the book and very true to the spirit of the book. I watched the Keira Knightly version and was completely disgusted with it.

BBC mini series by far, as Remy said, the Keira Knightley one is complete rubbish. They’ve taken a wonderful story and taken a huge poop on it. It was awful.

BBC mini series, without a doubt. Practically watching the book. But the Keira Knightley version *portrayed* the book better, imho. It’s my favorite movie…my only complaint is Mr. Darcy was a little too nice in it, but I don’t mind much =]

The BBC miniseries! It’s fantastic. Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle are great as Darcy and Elizabeth.
