Pick: Pride and Prejudice


Love actually: It’s universally acknowledged that Mr. Darcy is the ultimate swoon-worthy love interest. It’s sometimes acknowledged that Joe Wright’s 2005 film adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is the best, though a few BBC loyalists (and C-VILLE staffers) might beg to differ. Lovers of the iconic hand-flex scene will be pleased to learn that the movie is returning to the big screen for a special brunch screening. Enjoy your boozy breakfast as Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen bring to life one of the greatest love stories of all time.
