Sense and Sensibility. OK, for real, I can't stop watching this movie. Every time I come across it on PBS, I stop to watch it.
Which is strange, because as far as I know, I can't stand Jane Austen. About 12 years ago, I took a long trip. One of my friends gave me two books for the trip: One Hundred Years of Solitude and Pride and Prejudice. I ended up reading OHYS about 8 times (love it). The Austen book I pulled out whenever I had trouble sleeping on trains--after 6 pages I was sure to be asleep.
But this movie! The acting is excellent, the costumes, sets, people, beautiful, and the romance and scandal!!! The honorable Edward. The rogue Willoughby. Top notch.
So, you should try to catch it when it is on. It's in two parts, so it might take some planning to see the whole thing, in order.
Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxXffditEgA

OK...OK...I'll put that in the Netflix queue.
I clearly need more coffee, making up authors names and all. I meant to say I'm glad you like the move. See not all Jane Austen is bad.
