The scene in the shop 20 minutes from the end... That's why you watch Austen. (Only not this one: it pales in comparison to the Hinds-Root version.)

The Raid: Redemption
At its core, this is just a jumped-up 80s Hong Kong action flick.

Northanger Abbey (2007)
Wait. So, it's okay in Northanger Abbey for Isabella to very clearly have premarital sex with almost no consequences, but in Pride & Prejudice it causes everyone's downfall. Austen definitely didn't finish this story.

Lockout
Guy Pearce is a perfect action and/or sci-fi star. How about someone give him a worthy vehicle?

Sense & Sensibility (2008)
Both Hattie Morahan and the cottage setting (a real cottage this time, not a dumbed down manor house) make this a marvelous adaptation.

Get Low
I loved Bill Cobbs in That Thing You Do in 1996, I love him even more here 13 years later. (And everyone else in this sweet film.)

Doctor Who: Season 14
Anyone else find the Robots of Death episode so very like the later Oud episodes? And hey, what about the end of The Face of Evil-- Life, the Universe and Everything, no?
