I've only seen the version with Kiera Knightley & I've heard it's the worst version.I'll check out the A&E one.

The A & E version is awesome. They will never top that as far as I am concerned.

I have only seen the A&E version, and little pieces from the real old one. I like the A&E one! It is great. I am not sure if I want to see this new one with Keira Knightly.....

I am such a fan of Austen and I did like the 1940 version of Pride and Prejudice with Greer Garson and Lawrence Olivier. (both so very young then). However, it's in B/W, and lots of good dialogue from the book is not included.

I vote, so far, for the A&E version with Colin Firth. Haven't seen the new one yet, but if it is anything like Sense and Sensibility(another Austen book), it is bound to be good. The acting in Sense and Sensibility was perfect. Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant were great together. This also included a fine job by Kate Winslet and the supporting cast. Emma Thompson won an oscar for best screenplay that year. Not easy to put an Austen book on film, but she did it very well.

I'm a sucker for the originals.

I didn't know A&E had a version. You mean the 1995 BBC version? ...

I love the book but I've never seen any of the adaptions.
I checked Rotten Tomatoes.com and they say its good, albeit, not faithful to the book.
That latter fact alone though, decides whether I'm watching it.

the A&E/BBC version is, in fact, VERY faithful to the book... even the script is similar to the lines said in the book... i HIGHLY recomend watching that adaptation...
