So glad someone else agrees that the Romola Garai version of Emma is the best!!! Love your list minus Wuthering Heights... I still just can't warm up to that story lol. Now I must watch Emma again!!
ReplyDeleteI love Emma! I know how you feel about Wuthering Heights, especially after the newest version. Yuck! I think I am partial to the BBC Masterpiece Classic because of Tom Hardy lol. I would replace that spot with Wives and Daughters if it wasn't for him :P
ReplyDeleteWhich Pride and Prejudice? The only good one is the one with Colin Firth.
ReplyDeleteOh..how could you narrow down period pieces to 10! So hard!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481459/ <- The Virgin Queen is AWESOME and free on Amazon prime.
ReplyDelete...and I hope you've jumped on the Downton Abbey Bandwagon....if not, we need to talk.
