At the risk of exposing my inner chick-flick watcher, I have to say that Pride and Prejudice is one of those movies I could watch a hundred times. Occasionally, HBO will start running it a bunch and Chris will just walk around the house going "Mr. Darcy!" in this ridiculous affected British accent and I feel like a horse's ass but I cannot get over this movie.
I didn't even really like Keira Knightley before I saw it. And looking at photos of Matthew McFayden that are not from the movie leaves me pretty cold. But those two as Darcy and Elizabeth... holy sexual chemistry! I think it's the way they have both managed to master the smoldering look. I still get goosebumps when Darcy walks towards her at the end and he's coming out of the morning fog and they just hold that shot forever. Can. Hardly. Breathe.
And a little aside gem (just because I am so ready for Pottermania) where somebody cut together clips of HP films and overdubbed it with the P&P trailer. I do not have the skills or the patience to do this but enjoy it all the same.
