Another comparison of Jane Austen adaptations which springs to mind is the 2005 film of Pride and Prejudice. In this case,..."

The 2005 movie was beautiful to watch for the scenery, and I enjoyed it here and there, but for me, it was no match to the 1995 which remain the standard (at least for me, lol).

In general, I do enjoy remakes as to setting and time, as in Bride and Prejudice, a very colorful musical which takes place in India.

I've seen the 1996 adaptation of Emma starring Gwenyth Paltrow (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116191/ ) twice, and really like it! It's basically quite faithful to the book, though there are certain differences of emphasis, etc. that I discuss briefly in my review of the latter, here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... .
