Throwdown - Best Romantic JA Ending

First of all, I would like to wish everybody a Happy Valentine's Day.  In honor of this occasion, I am presenting some of the best endings from Jane Austen movies, so that we can all sigh over them and all that nonsense, and then vote on which one was the most romantic. I'm not sure I'll be able to decide, but it will be fun to see what you do. ;-)

Emma (A&E), near the end. The engaged couples dancing together--so cute!

To help me decide which scenes to throw into the competition here, I'm going to do five & just focus on The Endings. So, in random order--

#1

Sense & Sensibility (1995)

~This isn't supposed to involve The Proposal, so technically for the throwdown we're starting at 2:05... but if you decide to watch Edward's proposal (awww), I won't tell. (Just remember it isn't supposed to 'count'.)~

#2

Persuasion (2007)

~START AT 2:18~

#3

Pride & Prejudice (1995)

~Wedding starts at 1:24~

#4

Emma (2009)

~If you want to watch this scene with better quality, go here and start at 6 minutes.~

#5

Other

Due to unforeseen circumstances (called YouTube not cooperating with my plans and providing me with what I wanted) I am forced not to include a fifth video. However, I daresay you all remember JA movie endings pretty well. If your favorite didn't show up here, vote for 'other' and then tell me what you're thinking of in a comment. If enough people say the same thing, it could still win. 

Also... I lied. Er, was mistaken. Because although I like them all and adore most of them, I do have a favorite. It gets me every single time-- I just sit there grinning stupidly. (And when I'm all caught up in the story it has before brought tears to my eyes. Sniffle. So touching!)

Anyways. But I shall not say which I mean, because now it is time for you to vote. I can't say I'm not going to do some gushing in the comment box, though. :D Please feel free to do that, too! I'd love to hear which one you vote for!! Polls are so much more fun that way.

The Most Romantic Ending Is:
	#1 - Sense and Sensibility (1995)
	#2 - Persuasion (2007)
	#3 - Pride and Prejudice (1995)
	#4 - Emma (2009)
	#5 - Something Else (leave comment)

I'll post the results sometime next week.

Reading Jane Eyre & New Poll

So, I’ve read all 6 Jane Austen novels. I had planned to move right on to her minor works (The Watsons, Sanditon, Lady Susan, and the “juvenilia”) but I have felt rather uninformed as to other classics of late, so I’m taking a little break from Jane Austen (though she is always in the back of my mind, whatever I read), and right now I’m reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.

I was formally introduced to the story last winter when I watched the 1983 mini-series. While that one isn't my favorite, I am glad I saw it first (I watched a few others soon afterwards) because it has the whole story. Of course, there is much left in the book, and a book is almost always better than the movie(s).

I’m in chapter 19 out of 38 presently, so I have more than half left to go. Within the last couple days I’ve started really “getting into” the story, as happens a lot to me. My thoughts turned to my blog, and the question arose in my mind, should I do for Jane Eyre what I have for the novels of Jane Austen? You know, book review, summary of the movies, other random thoughts, quotes, etc. Because it’s nice to be doing things on one’s blog that one’s readers like to read, I made a poll concerning this question.

Please vote, and of course a comment would be great! =)
