Plot: The recipient of seven Oscar® nominations, this film version of Jane Austen's classic 1811 novel stars Emma Thompson as Elinor Dashwood. With her mother and sisters, Elinor struggles financially after the death of her father, who bequeathed the Dashwood estate to his oafish son by an earlier marriage. While sorting out the family's affairs, the shy, self-sacrificing Elinor secretly falls for her stepbrother-in-law, Edward Ferrars (Hugh Grant), a sensitive, well-educated bachelor who cannot court her because of his foolhardy youthful engagement to the greedy Lucy Steele (Imogen Stubbs). The grateful Dashwoods are offered a modest country home by family friends, which they accept. Once relocated, Elinor's brash, spirited sister Marianne (Kate Winslet) falls for a dashing local, John Willoughby (Greg Wise), a womanizer who nevertheless seems to share her affections. A prominent neighbor, Colonel Brandon (Alan Rickman), also falls in love with Marianne, but she is oblivious to the older man's affections. Eventually, Willoughby fails Marianne, breaking her heart, until she realizes Brandon's feelings. When Edward's family disowns him, Lucy marries his brother instead, leaving him free to pursue an exultant Elinor. Thompson won the film's sole Oscar® for her screenplay adaptation of Austen's novel. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

For The True Romantic

I first saw this movie in the Theaters in 1994 or 1995. I usually don't go for "Olde English Tales" type movies, but my friend talked me into going to see this with her. I found it to be humerous, touching and very romantic. I watched on DVD for the first time in years last night. Again, I was impressed with the fact that the movie had no violence, no profanity, no nudity and no sex yet was very entertaining. This movie makes you want to root for the Dashwood sisters as they pursue love and marriage in a time where your status in society dictates who and how well you marry.

Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet gave excellent performances. I really enjoyed Alan Rickman in a non villianous role and thought he was excellent although very sedate and soft spoken.

Melt Me Into A Beautiful Fantasy

I wish I could express how much a movie like this one can take you away to a place that you can leave all of your worries behind. I am a true fan of this one and am ordering more today because of it. I haven't seen Pride and Prejudice or Persuasion so I will wait for them to arrive with much anticipation. You will not regret one moment buying this movie.
Needless to say the actors are so talented they make you feel you are there. I don't know how else to describe it, so I will just say BUY IT!!! I am certain you will enjoy.
Also I ordered this using my prime account and received it the day after I ordered it which actually was one day faster than promised.
