@heroineinabook@bookstodon Thank you for this. I have bookmarked the page as there are some films I have yet to see. I was pleased to see the likes of Barry Lyndon, The Leopard and Portrait of A Lady On Fire make the list, and also The Age Of Innocence and House of Mirth. Thanks again for posting this.

That's some Jennifer Ehle erasure right there! 😂 No love for Amanda Root or Sally Hawkins' turns as Anne Elliot, either. I would have gladly seen either of them replace Renée Zellweger's Bridget Jones in this list.
@ExcessivelyDiverting@bookstodon@histodons the adaptation of P&P from the 40s was on the telly here the other day and it was great fun. I was struck by how much Colin Firth’s Darcy owed to the one Lawrence Olivier gave here.

A PhD student at the U of Kansas is doing research on "The Darcy Dilemma" which asks the question: what version of Darcy do you like better: Firth or MacFayden AND why did you choose that particular Darcy. You can find the research survey here: https://forms.gle/JpBDswCqy5EzyeMc7
