  1. Oh, now I see - Bridget Jones was "loosely inspired by Pride and Prejudice" - nice.

    I don't want to be ignorant as I haven't seen any other version except the 05 one, but Keira Knightly made the best Elizabeth Bennet so far! :)

  2. Yeah, BJ was, hence the "Mark Darcy" character played by the '95 Darcy actor, Colin Firth.

    I've seen the '95 and '80 versions, but I agree with you that Keira Knightley was the BEST actress that portrayed Elizabeth Bennet on screen (that I've seen) ...at least in my opinion.
