If you've only ever watched the 2005 movie adaptation of Jane Austen's classic (with Keira Knightley), you must, must give the BBC's TV adaptation from 1995 a go too. Considered by many to be the consummate British period drama, it made Colin Firth a star, thanks in the most part to one particular scene involving a white shirt and a lake. Jennifer Ehle is also perfect as Elizabeth Bennet, and David Bamber's Mr. Collins will genuinely make your skin crawl, just as he did Lizzy's.
