1) Sense and Sensibility From acclaimed writer Andrew Davies (BBCs Pride and Prejudice starring Colin Firth) comes this enchanting new adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel about love and marriage. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve when she falls in love with the charming but unsuitable John Willoughby ignoring her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behavior leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Elinor sensitive to social convention struggles to conceal her own romantic disappointment even from those closest to her. Will the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love? 2) Miss Austen Regrets A biopic unraveling the secrets of the elusive author based on Jane Austen's actual letters and diaries. 3) Persuasion Anne Elliot fell deeply in love with the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth at the age of nineteen. But with neither fortune nor rank to recommend him Anne was persuaded to break off her engagement. Eight years later Anne has lived to regret her decision. She never stopped loving Wentworth and when he returns from sea with fortune and rank she can only watch as every eligible young woman in the district falls at his feet.Running Time: 269 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â TELEVISION/BBC UPC:Â 883929011476 Manufacturer No:Â 1000037335

Summary: Lessons in character-building
Comment: A synopsis of "Sense & Sensibility" by one of your reviewers influenced me into purchasing this particular version even though I already owned the one with Kate Winslett. Their review was RIGHT ON! The scenery is breath-taking, and the acting is superb. Such a wonderful love story that one doesn't want it to end. This offers many hours of low-cost entertainment that also influences me to be a better person.

Summary: BEST ADAPTATION! BETTER THAN ANY I'VE SEEN...RANKS WITH PRIDE & PREJUDICE!!!
Comment: This was absolutely the best two adaptations of Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion out there, and this is coming from someone who LOVES Jane Austen and the earlier Persuasion and S&S movies before. I was in love with Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon, but Colonel Brandon in this was even better. I was almost reluctant to watch them, but when my sister brought them up, I first watched Persuasion and was so enthusiastic I stayed up until 2:30 a.m. watching S&S. They are so fresh, and any liberties they took with the book were completely wonderful. The cinematography and vision of the movie were breathtaking, beautiful, fresh, and very Austen. I loved it. Loved, loved, loved it. And i'm kindof a skeptic when it comes to Sense and Sensibility and remakes of movies I already like, but this is so completely worth every penny you may spend on it. Fantastic, utterly Austen. I just can't stop gushing, I want to buy a t-shirt with a Colonel Brandon slogo now, it was that good. If you buy one dvd set for the next 5 years, buy this one...or the A&E Pride and Prejudice (same screenwriter). Incomparable.

Summary: Sense & Sensibility Collection
Comment: I'm a huge fan of Jane Austen and this set is a MUST HAVE for any other fans. Great job on updates of the classics. I still won't part with my others (e.g., Emma with Gwyneth Paltrow, Sense and Sensibility with Emma Thompson), but really enjoy the new ones. Miss Austen Regrets is a fantastic bonus, really makes you see a more personal side of Jane.

Summary: Spectacular
Comment: Persuasion is my new favorite Jane Austen! I can't get enough of Frederick Wentworth. These movies are extremely well done. The acting is superb, the stories are easy to follow, and the scenery is an added bonus. And don't miss "Miss Austen Regrets" on the "extras" disc of Sense and Sensibility, it is just as good as the other two movies. If you are a Jane Austen fan, you'll want to be sure to have this set in your collection.
