pen_gruntI've been in the mood for period movies lately. Maybe it's all the Jane Austen remedial reading I've been doing.
Here's my problem, I never know which editions I should get if I haven't seen a movie before (or if it's been a long time). For instance, there are about 100 versions of Jane Eyre, and yet, I'm not sure which is best. So I want to get Jane Eyre, but I don't want to end up with an inferior version.
I also don't know which movies I should get in general. Yesterday I used up only part of an Amazon gift certificate getting:
A Room With A View
Hamlet
Henry V (Kenneth Branaugh edition)
Emma (Gwyneth Paltrow edition b/c it was cheap)
I already have:
Sense and Sensibility
Pride and Prejudice
Much Ado About Nothing
Vanity Fair
ETA: Robin Hood (Errol Flynn edition)
Various others that I can't think of at the moment.
What else should I get? What's your favorite?
