Thereare plenty of worthy and excellent adaptations of arguably Austen’s most famous novel, Emma, but none have had the cultural impact of Amy Heckerling’s cult classic Clueless, which is still regarded as one of the best comedies of the 1990s. A loose adaptationof Emma, the film is set in modern-day (well, 1995) Beverly Hills and follows entitled,...
One of the most famous Austen adaptations is 1995’s Sense and Sensibility. It was both a huge box office success and Oscar winner, including Best Adapted Screenplay for writer/actor Emma Thompson, who helped usher the film to the screen throughits inception back in 1989. Earning over $135 million worldwide (pretty stellar by 1990s box office standa...
Look,we love Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in the TV adaptation of Pride and Prejudice – and, of course, in Bridget Jones’s Diary, (more on that later). But this being a movie blog, we had to excise his dashing, handsomeness in favour of Joe Wright’s 2005 adaptation that brings the equally wonderfulMatthew Macfadyen into the role.

The world of hapless singleton Bridget Jones has many links to Jane Austen's narratives, including the role of Colin Firth as the handsome Mark Darcy.

We’veput this one on the 'film you didn’t know about but need to see immediately' list because, for all its praise and awards, Love & Friendship fell under many people’s radars when it was released in 2016. But trust us when we say that it is a hoot. Based on theshort epistolary novel by Austen called Lady Susan, which she never submitted for publi...
- Aisha (2010) Directed By Rajshree Ojha. Definitely the least well-known Emma movie adaptation, at least among English-speaking audiences, is 2010's Aisha, a Bollywood production.
- Emma (1996) Directed By Douglas McGrath. Douglas McGrath's Emma (1996) is visual eye candy and one of the most romanticized and syrupy versions of Austen's novel.
- Emma (1996) Directed By Diarmuid Lawrence. The British TV network ITV released its TV movie version around the same time Gwyneth Paltrow's swan-necked Emma was gracing theater screens, and it would later air on A&E in the U.S. This lesser-known version outranks its big-screen competitor by offering a more realistic and dramatic version, administering special attention to the social customs and strict decorum of Regency England.
- Emma (2020) Directed By Autumn de Wilde. Emma. PG. Release Date. February 21, 2020. Cast. Bill Nighy , Gemma Whelan , Rupert Graves , Mia Goth , Amber Anderson , Tanya Reynolds , Callum Turner , Chloe Pirrie , Josh O'Connor , Anya Taylor-Joy , Johnny Flynn , Miranda Hart , Suzy Bloom.
