Jane Austen Movie Throwdown

This weekend marks the sad anniversary of Jane Austen's death 192 years ago: which movie about her life do you prefer? The wildly romantic and inaccurate Becoming Jane or the more somber, speculative Miss Austen Regrets?

I Prefer This Film of Jane Austen's Life

Miss Austen Regrets: (From PBS Masterpiece Classic): Based on the life and letters of Jane Austen (Olivia Williams), Miss Austen Regrets tells the story of the novelist's final years, examining why, despite setting the standard for romantic fiction, she died having never married or met her own Mr. Darcy.

Becoming Jane: (From Wikipedia): Becoming Jane is a 2007 historical film inspired by the early life of author Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway), and her posited relationship with Thomas Langlois Lefroy (James McAvoy). The film was produced in cooperation with several companies, including BBC Films and the Irish Film Board.
