- Pride & Prejudice, 1995, all 36 clips in six parts.
- Pride & Prejudice, 2005, 12 YouTube clips
- Pride & Prejudice: A Latter Day Comedy, 2003, 12 YouTube clips plus trailer (you will need your hanky if you like your Jane Austen pure and old-fashioned.)
- Pride & Prejudice, 1980, all 25 YouTube clips. (Darcy is handsome but stiff, and Lizzie's clothes are frumpy. But it's still fun to watch.)

Here's a scene from Bride and Prejudice. Fun!

Excellent idea, Ms. Place! What a perfect day! :) I'm curious, which two do you not own?
Brilliant!
I do not own Pride and Prejudice: A Comedy, and the 2005 P&P. I am waiting for that one to sell at a bargain price.
In addition to the above, I own all the BBC JA videos, even the excruciatingly awful 1983 version of Northanger Abbey, and the modern versions of Emma and Sense and Sensibility. I would love to purchase the Amanda Root version of Persuasion, but thanks to Cable on Demand I have seen the movie around 7 times.
S'cuse, the 86 version of N.A. I have never seen it to completion. Back in 1998 I paid around $40 for the video. Bad purchase.
They are putting out a special edition of P&P 2005 on Tuesday. I love that version. :) I would love to have the Amanda Root version of Persuasion on dvd, but only have it on tape, which I bought used last summer. It is a beautiful film! I have P&P 1995, Emma 1996, S&S 1995, and Bride & Prejudice, plus I taped P&P 1940 off the tv (I loved Lawrence Olivier as Mr. Darcy). I can't remember if I have anything else.
Such fun! :)
