Oh it´s funny! When I wached this vid, I thought: Hey she should have used a scene frome "Becoming Jane" at the end.

And then there was this writing scene in the end. But you don´t have the movie in your list. So I´m confused. Was it really Anne Heatherway as Jane at the end, or am I going to become senile?

[katinkagirlie]

@TheGwynchan No, no, you're absolutely right about the "Becoming Jane" thing. I just forgot to add it to the list - silly me. :)

That was fantastic! Perfect, beautifully edited!

I have a question. From this video it seems liek you've watched pretty much all of the Austen movies. I've seen Sense and Sensibility, the 2005 Pride and Prejudice, and the older Persuasion (with Amanda Root). But I'm curious if the other movies--Northanger, the other Persuasion, whatever else you had in there haha--are any good. I love the Jane Austen books so I'm picky. Thought I would ask your advice

[katinkagirlie]

@invaderzooky Well, I believe it's a question of taste really, but IMO Northanger Abbey (the 2007 version) is really great and entertaining, just the perfect adaptation; the new Persuasion is a bit modern but also lovely, however some things aren't entirely true to the novel. The Mansfield Park's (1999 and 2006) are both changed in some way, for instance the 1999 adds a lot from Austen's life and the 2006's Fanny was a bit miscast, I think. The Emma miniseries (1996) is very well made.

@KatiB88 true!!

[KatiB88]

@MegaMagicStars sense & sensibility. 

[KatiB88]

i love how each of her heroines exhibit sorrow according to their character. dramatic marianne in the rain, elinor hiding away on her own, catherine innocently crying, proud emma, despondent lizzy, resigned fanny & the long suffering anne. it's beautiful.

Where on earth do you all who do those compilations get the video footage to work with??? There are plenty of clips from all the Jane Austen movies here on YouTube, but I don't see anyway to download them... I'd really like to know cuz I want to make a compilation of my own! Thanks
