The 2006 BBC miniseries, actually. I want to see more too.

Oh yes :D (swoons). Although Toby Stephens wasn't bad in the more recent version, a bit young for Mr R though.

Watched Sense and Sensibility last night. The 2008 BBC version. I watched the movie version with Alan Rickman on Sunday. :)

Yesterday I saw Little Women (1940). I really enjoyed it, although Jo really tried me with her stubbornness. I do believe she could have made a good wife to Mr. Young Laurie, anyway, I did like the ending of the story. :D :D

Trying to remember if I've seen the 1940s Little Women... Is that the one with June Allyson as Jo?
