I have a deep and utterly irrational love for the Greer Garson & Laurence Oliver P&P, though it is utterly wrong in many regards. The BBC series is of course the best!
Emma Thompson's S&S is pretty good, and makes the characters all far more interesting than they are in the book (even the one played by Hugh Grant!!!) The Frances O'Connor Mansfield Park takes excessive liberties (Jane would have hated it) but just about turns it into a tolerable story.
I haven't seen the film of Persuasion, but it has Caesar in it! (Ciaran Hinds from Rome) so must be good.
