    I think Alan Rickman is one of those great actors that people forget about. I LOVED him in Sense and Sensibility. He was also in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I love the way he talks, I just can’t place the accent.

    And Darcy and Lizzy play by Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, it can NEVER be better casted than those 2. I hear there is a new A&E Jane Austin out. I need to see it!!!

    Thank you all for your comments! I visited at your posts to leave responses. :)

    Marmee, I don’t see how Pride and Prejudice can be any better cast, either.
