When the Moors Ruled in Europe (DVD)
You can actually find this whole documentary for free online, but I picked it up at the library recently. As you might be able to tell by yesterday’s post, I have been on a weird documentary kick as of late. They’re nice to watch while doing boring stuff like paying bills.

Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women (DVD)

Sense & Sensibility Mini-Series
I think that part of the reason that this story has always appealed to me, is that I am Margaret Dashwood. I have two sisters much older than me, and I used to ask their boyfriends idiotic questions, like, are you guys going to get married?

Miss Austen Regrets
Oh how infinitely better Miss Austen Regrets was than Becoming Jane. Taking place later in the authoress’s life, she attempts to sort out her past decisions and give love advice to her niece.

Pride & Prejudice 2005 Movie
I’m going to be bold here: There has been no more perfect Mr. Darcy than Matthew MacFayden.
