It is far superior to the lightweight movie starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. There are just too many characters and incidents in Pride and Prejudice to cram it into a 2 hour movie. The TV version runs about six hours yet it doesn't seem a minute too long. At least the 2006 movie is better than the awful 1940 movie starring Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson. It was Hollywood at its worst, rewriting Jane Austen for cheap romantic effect. Love Matchpoint from your list too!
