Can you recommend a film / TV series?

Question

In the past year I have watched, for the first time, Pride and Prejudice. I have the TV series with the lovely Colin Firth, and the film with the lovely Matthew McFaddyen. Just recently I bought North and South with the the lovely Richard Armitage. Now what can I watch whic is along the same lines?

Answer 1

The Amanda Root/Cirian Hinds version of Persuasion, another Jane Austen adaptation. Not as great at P&P with Colin Firth but it was a well done movie. Sense & Sensibility with Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman is worth watching too.  

Answer 2

The newest Jane Eyre from BBC is pretty good. It's kind of long but if you like Pride and Prejudice, you will probably like it. I think I got it from the library on DVD.

Answer 3

phantom of the opera - the movie- great movie

My wife and kids, funny- Channel: Trouble

Everybody hates chis - paramount

Watch the TV series Gilmore Girls you just get addicted.

some good films are The Memory Keepers Daughter or b*****d out of Carolina if you like Drama.

Answer 11

Deadwood.

Answer 12

Tv series depend on what you like but I found Lost absoluitely brilliant. you get really sucked into it. Also something like desperate housewvies or s*x and the city is brilliant if you are more into that type of thing. I loved all three of these.

Films I would recommend would be Deja Vu, Layer Cake, Catch me if you can. All three are brilliant. hancock is a recent film which is also great!

Jewel In the Crown- the british in India

The Forsyte Saga- there are 2 versions- theoriginall 70's and the updated 2000 -lives & loves of a rich family

Answer 18

LOST

GREAT SHOW

Answer 19

If you want a good drama try HBO's Rome

the acting is great the story line is such that you never want to stop watching. There is a lot of violence language and s*x, but if you don't mind that its great. The story takes place back in rome 30 B.C. All of the characters events and places are real. Its great.
