Has become one of my three top favorite movies of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2006)

I am so sorry that I missed this at the theater. This is a very moving and wonderfully emotional love story. The actors fit beautifully within their characters, and it is hard to imagine them as any other person. I have loved watching Donald Sutherland my whole life, and he continues to surprise me with his incredible skills of interpreting a character and making me believe he is actually that person. Matthew Macfadyen is also wonderful as Mr. Darcy...just wonderful. Keira Knightly and Rosamund Pike were such believable sisters and were superb. As I watched the movie I was wishing I could be in the Bennett family with them all. Though I love seeing movies, rarely does a film pull me into it the way this one does.
I have had one favorite movie for most of my life (Gone with the Wind). This "favorite" was cracked just a tinge by the Lord of the Rings trilogy, though it was a different genre. Pride & Prejudice has taken over. I rented it two weeks ago and can't stop watching it. I love everything about it and will have to actually buy it to add to my small collection. It's a wonderful escape with a truly "wish I were her" ending. It varies slightly from the book but does so without removing the main scenes and dialog, and it pulls all pieces together without leaving ends hanging.
Thank you all for bringing such a wonderful escape to my life!
