Emma Thompson scores a double bull's-eye with this marvelous adaptation of Jane Austen's novel. Not only does Thompson turn in a strong (and gently humorous) performance as one of the Dashwood sisters--the one with "sense"--she also wrote the witty, wise screenplay. Austen's tale of 19th-century manners and morals provides a large cast with a feast of possibilities, notably Kate Winslet, in her pre-Titanic flowering, as Thompson's deeply romantic sister. Winslet attracts the wooing of shy Alan Rickman (a nice change of pace from his bad-guy roles) and dashing Greg Wise, while Thompson must endure an incredibly roundabout courtship with Hugh Grant, here in fine and funny form. All of this is doled out with the usual eye-filling English countryside and handsome costumes, yet the film always seems to be about the careful interior lives of its characters. The director, an inspired choice, is Taiwan-born Ang Lee, who brings the same exquisite taste and discreet touch he displayed in his previous Asian films (such as Eat Drink Man Woman). Thompson's script won an Oscar, and 1995 was a fine year for Jane Austen all around: Persuasion was made into an excellent picture, and Emma became the spritzy high school comedy Clueless. --Robert Horton

A classic that will be around like Sound of Music and Wizard of Oz. I've seen this movie several times and decided to purchase for my library. One of the movies that you can see something new in each time you watch it.

A Review of Sense and Sensibility

Emma Thompson was wonderful as Elinor. She embodied the ideal of "sensibility" in love. I imagine it would be an actor's dream to act in one of Jane Austen's novels on screen. She deserved the Golden Globe award for "best screenplay". I recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good, romantic film. Another Jane Austen great. Alan Rickman as the "Colonel" was very impressive.

I bought Sense and Sensibility for the wife as a birthday present and she loves it. Recommended for Jane Austin fans and other romantic types.

SO far I haven't decided what to do with the 2 I ordered. I bought this DVD accidentally. One moment I was looking to buy the DVD Persuasion, and the the next thing I realized I had ordered Sense & Sensibility.
