Fire Island is waaaayyyy too high on this list. It appropriates Austen way more than it adapts anything (Clueless it is certainly not. That you ranked it higher than Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is appalling. Even Bridget Jones is ranked too high but I would at least say Jones is also its own thing so that's okay. Fire Island is a joke.

what a great list. I've seen all of these! Austenland is soooo great and the funny coincidence is that Keri's character is addicted to Mr. Darcy and in real life is partnered with an actor who's played him in the past Matthew Rhys. Also if you haven't checked out The Lizzie Bennett DIaries they are soooooooooooo awesome!

Not a movie (yet) but I really liked Jasper Fforde's book, The Eyre Affair. In an alternate world, literary detective Thursday Next finds she can enter the archetype of a story -- the one that all print copies are versions of -- and ends up rewriting Jane Eyre to the ending we know and love.

Kandukondain Kandukondain or I Have Found It an Indian-Tamil movie based on Sense and Sensibility whilst understandably not listed is a good adaptation worthy watching. All the actors play their parts well and does have Aishwarya Rai as the Marianne character.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is only good because Lily James and Sam Reilly are fire. Specially in the proposal scene.
I love Austenland. The book is as equally awesome
Fire Island is said to be very trash. Just by these clips I get the criticism

clearly he hasn't read the book if he thinks Fanny Price is unbearable. He knows nothing about her circumstances - and nothing about the time if he doesn't know that to be in the theatre was considered something dishonourable and shameful.

For the Bride and Prejudice fans - the Tamil film Kandukondain Kandukondain! A Sense and Sensibility adaptation, with Aishwarya Rai in the Marianne role, and A. R. Rahman's music!

Is it just me that calling this video 10 Movies You Didn't Know Were Inspired by Jane Austen and then having a bunch that have her name in the title a bit of a misnomer?

I adore Lost in Austen, it's largely underrated, is a fun look at Pride and Prejudice through a contemporary lens, and Jemima Rooper is outstanding in the lead role.

Yes, I knew that Clueless would rank high on this list, it's the most iconic Austen Adaptation ever. It uses a Valley Girl twist to bring Emma into the 90's.

RE: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I loved the book, but the movie? Gawdaweful! And I don't feel like I need to explain why.

As a fellow gay man. That Fire Island movie was horrendous typical bottom of the barrel storytelling + cringe acting

Glad Lizzie Bennet Diaries made it into the list. Though I'm still upset about the treatment of cast and crew

Aw, come on - Lost in Austen is definitely loads of fun, whilst Pride+Prejudice+Zombies is simply ludicrous, IMO.
