Mr Knightley: Will you dance, dear Emma? 

me, sobbing into my empty Thai food container, gently stroking my sweet oblivious pets as they lay on my lap, blissfully unaware of how truly unhinged their Jane Austen Hoe owner is: and dance they did..... my babies...... look at them go....

My favorite adaptation of my favorite novel. 💕

the five stages of watching this w/ my brother, the reluctant costume drama stan:

"uuuugh why do you always make us watch these dry white people dramas?"
"wait. is this clueless? is that supposed to be paul rudd?"
"you should have just told me it was clueless. cher horowitz is an icon in any incarnation."
"that's definitely paul rudd. i can tell because they can't bare eachother but are obviously so in love."
"wait thats the end? PUT ON THE NEXT ONE NOW"

me, an intellectual: GEORGE KNIGHTLEY

My favorite Austen adaptation, "Emma" is the film I turn to whenever I need a bit of wit and joy injected into my dull life.

forgot to log this...
yeah its good but romola garai is not an interesting actress to watch so it really ruined what could have been a perfect adaptation of the book

English classic

THATS BETTER! Take notes Emma, 1996

there's not a version of mr knightley confessing his love to emma that doesn't make me cry

My favorite adaptation of this story. This Emma strikes the perfect balance between vain (like others) and vapid (like Clueless). She sees the world as a place full of dolls she can turn to her heart's content, not out of malice, just ignorance. And so far, the world's gone exactly as she hoped, so why should she think she couldn't do it again? And that's the fun, watching Emma grow up and see how the world really works, admitting her limitations and the contents of her heart.

Really enjoyable version of this classic Austen novel.

I loved it as much as I did when I first watched it probably around 2011. I persuaded a friend to watch with me this time, and he enjoyed it as well.

I had such a huge crush on both Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller when I first saw this, and after rewatching, I don't think either of those crushes have gone away, and I doubt they ever will.

Romola Garai has one of the most expressive faces, and is just absolutely wonderful in this! One of my facebook profile pictures, when I was using a string of icons rather than a picture of me, was a picture of Emma smiling from this adaptation.

Maybe next time, I can get my mom to watch with me.

My absolute favorite Jane Austen novel, and this was SUCH a good adaptation.

Good, but you can't beat Gwenyth.
