I got a request for a post about "anything to do with P&P95". That should be easy enough, but the thing is, being co-authoress of The P&P95Forever Club, I usually write anything to do with that subject over there.
But today I'll just be a little different. One thing I love about watching period dramas is recognizing the actors. Pride and Prejudice (1995) was one of the first 'real' period drama mini-series I ever watched, so I didn't recognize any of the actors in it-- that came later on with other movies. So just for fun, I'm going to ramble a bit about my favorite role in another period drama for each applicable actress in P&P95. (I'm leaving the men out, just because. Well, mainly to make the post shorter, haha.) Ones who are not applicable don't have any period drama role that sticks out to me, if I have seen it at all, and obviously I'm not going to talk about ones I haven't seen for myself. However, be aware that I probably do know they were in such-and-such movie, because I've done all the research. Speaking of that, if you want a full list of the period dramas the actors from P&P95 were in, see here.

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. ;-)
I'll post the results sometime next week.

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.
I'll post the results sometime next week.
