Best movie of 2005

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2005)

This beautiful movie did not receive the attention or screen time it deserved. Its extremely limited release in early November was followed by an only slightly more expanded release a couple of weeks later. Here in Phoenix, Arizona that release was short lived and can now only be seen on a few remaining screens. I own and watch regularly the A&E version and knew there would be comparisons. Sorry, but this film wins hands down. The chemistry between the characters and cinematography were second to none. And the soundtrack is awesome. I had to hunt high and low for it here, but it was worth the effort. I honestly believe there is a prejudice (no pun intended) here in this country about films produced in the UK. Look at how Phantom of the Opera was received here! I just wish I could express adequately my "kudos" to the people who obviously worked so hard on it. This film is the definitive answer to the question of whether we needed another version of Pride and Prejudice: Yes, a thousand times YES!!!!!!!
