Pride and Prejudice having been my all time fave novel in the world, I think I saw all the British adaptations (I remember watching a really old one on a black and white tv and falling for Mr. Darcy even then, age 7-8??) I have watched that old adaptation later on and still enjoyed it but the ultimate for me and many who love the book is the BBC one starring Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet and Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy.
This one is very stylish and the actors are all fine (I think this has the best looking Jane) but probably due to it being the film length they had cut a lot of stuff and changed some of the words and locations (to more stylish ones) and while visually it is very good, thematically this adaptation fails.
