Year 2005: Pride & Prejudice

In my opinion, one of the best film adaptations based on a classic novel. The cinematography, set production and costumes gave me a convincing impression that I am actually transported into a whole other era, with Dario Marianelli's magical music playing like a soft breeze of sunrise in the morning sky. And the actors, they all synched together, as if they were the actual people from the book. Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen's performances breathes an ethereal quality to the characters of this beloved Jane Austen's novel. They did it naturally without trying all mushy and physical - that you would end up wishing romance like this could happen at the present time. Overall, where credits are due, Joe Wright, the man behind the camera made every single element of this film work in perfect unison.
