For as much as 2005 Pride and Prejudice has a solid hold on my heart and soul, the subtlety of Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson’s acting, the awkward sweetness of Hugh Grant and Kate Winslet’s fiery Marianne Dashwood in Ang Lee’s 1995 Sense and Sensibility puts it right up there with P&P. Gorgeous. The music! The cinematography! I sincerely hope people are still watching this movie almost 30 years out!!

Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson met in Cambridge when they were 19, were president and vice-president of the famous Cambridge Footlights Comedy Club (along with Stephen Fry, Rowan Atkinson, and many of their friends). They dated but even after they broke up they continued writing comedies together and remained good friends for over 40 years.
