With their dry wit and sparkling dialogue, Jane Austen's novels are eminently adaptable to film, and this 2005 production is no exception. Keira Knightley earned an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of independently-minded Eliza Bennett, while Matthew Macfadyen makes for an appealing Mr. Darcy. Part of the fun of this lavish yet realistic version is the all-star cast, which includes Brenda Blethyn, Donald Sutherland, Judi Dench, Tom Hollander, Carey Mulligan, and Rosamund Pike.
