Feb 12, 2024 · Jane Austen's Emma has been adapted many times throughout the years, most recently with Emma (2020). Here's how the movie versions compare.
- Amanda Bruce
- Best: Pride and Prejudice (1995) 8.9. This BBC mini-series takes the top spot on the list. It starred Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet. It also features a young Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy.

- Best: Emma (2009) 8.1. There were two Emma adaptations on the list, one "best" and one "worst." This one is the former. While the 1996 adaptation is much more popular, this one from 2009 is graded a whole 1.5 points higher on IMDb.
- Worst: Bride & Prejudice (2004) 6.1. Alright, we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Not pride, but bride. Wordplay! Fun! Also, notice the ampersand instead of "and" like in the original title (the actual movie poster uses a treble clef).

Jun 13, 2022 · There is nothing, Jane Austen ’s Emma declared, like staying at home for real comfort. Austen’s titular heroine may have been spoilt, self-indulgent and deluded, but that hasn’t stopped her from being one of the author’s most-loved characters.
