A Confession

Last week we talked about Mr. Darcy being the Mr. Right of many women's dreams. But here's my confession: I have long loved Mr. Knightley better than Mr. Darcy. I love that he has always been Emma's friend. I love how he makes her better than she would be on her own. When I was single, and either had a bad date or stayed at home with no date, I watched Emma, featuring Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeremy Northam. I loved the clothes, the hair, the sets, the accents, the great acting, the music. It was beautiful and it made me happy.
Now with the new version of Emma with Johnny Lee Miller and Romola Garai, I love Emma even more. 

If you haven't watched this movie, block out four hours of time without any children or men around (but girls are welcome!) and sit back and enjoy. It is one of my top five favorite movies of all time. 
Have you seen this version of Emma yet? Which version do you favor?
