Emma (1996)

Cast: Gwyneth Paltrow (Emma Woodhouse), James Cosmo (Mr. Weston), Alan Cumming (Rev. Elton), Toni Collette (Harriet Smith)
For complete cast, see IMDb's Emma page.

This movie based on the Austen novel of the same name was surprising to me. I expected to enjoy it more than the modern version (Clueless - 1995) and the period piece wasn't quite as well done. I still highly recommend this movie. The novel is good and the movie has an amazing cast and is very well done with the period. I love period pieces, but in this case if you're not going to see this and Clueless, perhaps you should wait and see Emma in a few years. It's definitely worth renting, though, especially if you like the original story.

Grade: B+
