Pride and Prejudice
Favorite moment from Pride & Prejudice?
I love the exchange between Mr. and Mrs. Bennet when he says he's been to see Mr. Bingley and she says, "Nothing you say will ever vex me again!" And he replies, "I'm sorry to hear it."
Yes - Mr Bennet is just good all over!
another forgotten favorite line from the BBC version: Lizzy: "Shelves in the closet...happy thought indeed!" ROTFL!!! Love it!
Sooo funny :D laugh every time! JA how funny you were!! Ahead of your time!!
I haven't read all of the comments but I will tell you that there is a music video on youtube that shows all of my fav moments.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsknGO...

I love that and when Wickham says to Mr Collins when he brags about Lady Catherine's expensive chimney piece- "Her ladyship is fond of a good blaze" :)
Jamie wrote - "Her ladyship is fond of a good blaze" :) yeah - so funny! collins is just great :) and oblivious to all the teasing and mocking he gets from the other characters ;)
Here's another terrifically assinine comment of Mr. Collins that keeps me in stitches: when he brags to Elizabeth that Lady Catherine suggested he put shelves in the closet. The fact that he couldn't think to do that on his own AND he thinks this is going to raise him in the eyes of others just cracks me up; no matter how foul my mood, the mere memory of any of his words makes me smile.
Couldn't agree more - Collins = funny!! Bravo JA!!!
Haha theres no NOT liking Mr Collins as irritating as he can be! Lol
I love how, in all his pride, he still shouts to Lizzy "Welcome to our humble abode!"
I love the part in the production with Keira Knightley when she comes back at Mr. Darcy with his line about dancing. Way to go. They just seem at odds but are really meant for one another.
Love both those moments too :D
I loved the whole book but the best part for me is Mr.Darcy's first proposal to Elizabeth...It simply was so sincere and this part is so beautiful at the movie too..I also love the discussion between Elizabeth and Lady Catherine, Elizabeth's great words against lady Catherine.

Alice wrote - 'GO ELIZABETH! :D'totally agree - great moment! just shout at the tv...
woo - girl power! you go girl!!! ;)
Catherine wrote: "Personally my favorite scene is the verbal disagreement between Lady Catherine and Elizabeth Bennet."I so have to agree with you on this, Catherine. As much as I love the Netherfield dance and the first proposal, with Darcy looking abashed until his arrogance comes back, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that scene at the end with Lady Catherine and Elizabeth as they take a turn about the "little wilderness" and Lizzy tries to hard to keep from admitting the truth to her. The actress that plays Lady Catherine has such a wonderful voice and an arrogant air - she's absolutely wonderful! I so need to watch that scene again - some fantastic lines (probably scooped right out of the novel!)
If I remember rightly , that bit is pretty exact just shortened !!

LOL absolutely!!!! I love yelling at the screen, knowing they can't get mad at me for it! ;D
Such a good sign that the actors have portayed their characters so well: when the viewers are so moved they are incensed against the characters! ;)
'Such a good sign that the actors have portayed their characters so well: when the viewers are so moved they are incensed against the characters! ;)'Not over the top or anything ;) - purely the acting skills and not the overly passionate person watching it ;) haha
I think my favorite scene is in the BBC version, when Elizabeth quickly interrupts Caroline's yapping about Wickham to divert Georgiana's attention, and then Elizabeth and Darcy's eyes meet and they smile at each other. <3Honorable mentions: When Darcy gets out of the bath (hubb-hubba), watches Lizzie play with his dog out the window, and sort of, ALMOST, smiles. :)
When Mr. B. calls Lizzie into his study after the Collins proposal and tells her she must "from this day forward forever be a stranger to one of her parents." HYSTERICAL!
Love all those moments too!!! :D <3

I would say that is more of a laugh than a smile ;)

Adorable and rewind-worthy either way!

absolutely
Soph wrote: "I would say that is more of a laugh than a smile ;)"And who can blame him? Poor Lizzie! I feel so sorry for her during that scene.
Yes you can't but feel sorry for her!Love that - ' rewind worthy!' totally agree though!!!
Definitely and also loveLizzie's angry face when she sees him laughing ;) Darcy knows that Collins is no competition for her affections ;) so laugh at Collins, scowl at Wickham !!
Most definitely when Mr. Darcy comes out of the lake at Pemberly in his wet shirt with his wet curly hair.Also, when he almost smiles while Elizabeth is playing the piano.
Oh yeah, and when he FINALLY smiles in the end!! <3 <3

I swear he has a little smile on his face when he walks back into the room after Lizzy leaves Pemberley. I think its a little smile and a strut...until Miss Bingley ruins it with "I've never seen anyone so much altered..."
When Darcy smiles. Or almost smiles. Favorite scene, period:)
Yes i think he smiles or nearly smiles quite often really just very... subtly ;) and agreed Rachel :D
Soph wrote: "Yes i think he smiles or nearly smiles quite often really just very... subtly ;) and agreed Rachel :D"
Jane mentions him smiling SO much in the book, I wonder why he only smiles every now and then in the movies?
That's a really good point - especially in the 2005 - he really doesn't smile till towards the end and when he meets his sister ....
Love also the bit in the latest p and p when they are at Netherfield discussing accomplished woman and then Lizzie is like 'they would certainly be a fearsome thing to behold' then Bingley has a little chuckle to himself!! Bless him!!!
^ Haha, yeah, he's cute in that! And he's playing with the cushion as well. He's just adorable.
he really really is :)
all these quotes from the 2005 version are tempting me into watching it again! :D i havent watched it since the discovery of the '95 versionall these are great scenes and quotes by the way!! :D
I watched it today!! And soo worth watching again! Really different and therefore easy to love both!!! As I do!!!

In the 05' version when Mr. Darcy walks across the field after Lizzie talks with Lady Catherine. If she didn't say yes after that I would have. Yummy!
