Jane Austen Adaptations

	Emma [DVD] [1996] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.99 I've never seen it but it came out at the same time as the Paltrow version
	Emma [DVD] [1996] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.00 Very much a Hollywood adaptation: pretty, but with little else.
	Sense And Sensibility (Collector's Edition) [1996] [DVD] Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £2.73 Emma Thomson's Oscar winner. It may not be very faithful but it is very good,
	Pride And Prejudice : Complete BBC Series - 10th Anniversary Edition [1995] [DVD] [1999] Buy new: £12.88 / Used from: £7.24 So very good. Also, gave us Colin Firth as Darcy
	Pride & Prejudice - 2005 [DVD] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £0.48 A more realistic styled adaptation that's very emotionally deep. Just don't watch the alt end, it is terrible!
	Persuasion : Complete BBC Adaptation [1995] [DVD] Buy new: £7.48 / Used from: £4.85 This one was produced at the same time as the 1995 P&P and, while not so resoundingly fab, is very good.
	Northanger Abbey [DVD] [1986] Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £1.69 Terrible, but hilarious.
	Mansfield Park [DVD] [1983] Buy new: £7.58 / Used from: £3.88 I've only just bought this so I don't know what it's like yet. Looks like standard BBC adaptation fare.
	Emma [DVD] [1972] Buy new: £4.68 / Used from: £2.79 I have vague memories of this from school, it was alright.
	Sense And Sensibility (BBC) [1981] [DVD] Buy new: £4.08 / Used from: £1.43 Haven't seen it but no doubt it's a quality dramatisation from the BBC.
	Mansfield Park [DVD] [2007] Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.44 Touted as a raunchier version with a tomboy Fanny Price. Starring Billie Piper aka Rose from Dr Who.
	Mansfield Park [1999] [DVD] [2000] Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £2.49 Stylish adaptation that tries to uncover the truths behind the situations in the novels; controversial for it's inclusion of sex, slavery and hints of lesbian desire.
	Persuasion : Complete ITV Adaptation [2007] [DVD] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £5.00 This is a lovely adaption from the clutch that came out in 2007. Has Giles from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer (Anthony Head) in it.
	Northanger Abbey [DVD] [2007] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.99 A second adaptation for Jane Austen's least adapted novel. This is in no way as bad as the 80s version and is from the 2007 run.
	Persuasion [DVD] [1971] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] Buy used from: £6.48 This is the oldest BBC adaptation on this list. Region 1.
	Pride and Prejudice [DVD] [1980] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] Buy used from: £11.69 Adapted by Fay Weldon, this adaptation takes strong measures to include as much of the novel as possible, using VO to include Elizabeth's inner world. Region 1.
	Pride and Prejudice [DVD] [1940] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] Buy used from: £12.98 The oldest available adaptation which is adapted as much from Helen Jerome's play as the novel and with Aldous Huxley working on the script. Basically a screwball comedy- to the plot's detriment. R1.
