I think I'm getting that through Netflix this week. I know going in it probably won't be that good, but I can't resist Julia Roberts.

[quote=""Madeleine""]I think they show the Love Comes Softly series over here from time to time, is that the one with Katherine Heigl?

Watched "Bright Star" the other night - Keats and Fanny Brawne. Well made and acted but rather tedious. Great cat though, I think it had the most fun out of all the actors as all it did was play and be cuddled.[/quote]

Katherine Heigl is in the first two movies of the series.

My husband checked out the first two books from the library for me. I'm looking forward to reading them.

Sense and Sensibility (1995)

I like Alan Rickman in this. And also... that voice. *swoon*

That's my favorite version of S&S!

Watched The Green Lantern last night. Not as bad as the reviews led me to believe.

I do really like the newer BBC version as well. However, I prefer this version.

I tend to get used to the actors as the characters in which version I saw first.

As much as I like this version of S&S and Alan Rickman, he still does not fit my image of Col. Brandon from the book (neither does Hugh Grant as Edward). Maybe I'm the only one?

I am with you Ludmilla and I also love AR in most of his movies, what is it about him that makes him so sexy?...As for Hugh Grant though he is a good actor perhaps the Edward character simply isn't terribly fascinating. The movie of S&S is my favourite, though I also enjoyed the TV version.

Another vote for Alan Rickman not being my image of Col. Brandon. Fabulous actor and does a good job with the role, just doesn't quite fit what I get from the book. That version of S&S was actually what got me into Jane Austen fandom. It's certainly one of the best ever book-to-screen adaptations. The newer BBC version is quite good as well.

I saw that movie before I read that book. He doesn't really fit what I pictured after I read it, but that's the Brandon I'm more familiar with.

I must admit as good as Alan R was in that movie (Sense...) I always thought he was a little er older than Brandon! But overall I loved that film, and it's my favourite Austen adaptation. The BBC series was good, wasn't Downton's Dan Stevens (Matthew) playing Hugh Grant's role in that?
