Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters | Jane Austen, Ben H. Winters

The Pride & Prejudice & Zombies movie was fun, but I think a Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters movie would be even more fun! Sea monsters!!!

Pride and Prejudice (Revised) | Jane Austen

pick

I couldn't just chose one, I love them all! Though the 1995 is probably my fav, because it follows the book and isn't truncated. Followed by the 2005 version, because it's neat and compact. And I adore the modern blog retelling in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. These are all the media versions with their book companion below. Happy Birthday, Jane Austen!!! #favjaneaustenadaptation #seasonsreadings2016

Dogearedcopy My fave is the 1995 VHS version; but I do adore the gazebo scene in the 2005 film! 8y

CrowCAH @Dogearedcopy totally agree, the first Darcy proposal is my fav scene of the book! 8y

I'm not sure if this counts as an adaptation per say, but I just LOVE this movie!!! 😍🎥💜

I didn't even know this was a book until after seeing the movie the first time & I still haven't read it-shame on me!🙈

Those of you who have, is it worth reading or is this wonderful movie just as good as the book?

🤔Hmmmm, I think I might just watch it again today! #TGIF

JackieSmith I thought the book was only so-so. It is a fast read, though. 8y

Bookberry I love the movie. The book is okay. This is a rare case where I prefer the movie over the book. Enjoy the movie when watching it today again! 8y

saresmoore I'm a (practically) lifelong Janeite and I haven't seen this movie OR read the book! 8y

MarticaMustRead Good to know, thanks @JackieSmith & @Bookberry guess I'll just stick to enjoying the movie then😊. 8y

MarticaMustRead Oh my goodness @saresmoore you must rectify that ASAP! Lol.😉 My public library has the dvd you might want to see if yours does too and borrow it for the weekend and make it a movie night! 8y

saresmoore @MarticaMustRead Yes! Great idea! 8y

LiteraryinPA I didn't like the book and I didn't know there was a movie! If everyone liked the movie better, I'll have to try to watch it! 8y
