Based on Jane Austen's beloved novel about the five single Bennet sisters, a proper English family is turned upside down when the wealthy Mr. Bingley and his best friend Mr. Darcy arrive.

Sense and Sensibility (1995: PG: 135 min.)
Emma Thompson stars in and received an Academy Award® for her screen adaptation of Jane Austen’s first novel about two sisters: pragmatic, ironic, Elinor (Emma Thompson) and passionate, willful Marianne (Kate Winslet). Their struggle to find romantic happiness in an early 19th century English society obsessed with financial and social stature is a warm-hearted drama.

Mansfield Park (1999: PG-13: 112 min.)
At 12, Fanny Price, a poor relation, goes to live at Mansfield Park, the estate of her aunt's husband, Sir Thomas. Clever, studious, and a writer with an ironic imagination and fine moral compass, she becomes especially close to Edmund, Thomas's younger son. Fanny is soon possessed of beauty as well as a keen mind and comes to the attention of a neighbor, Henry Crawford. Thomas promotes this match, but to his displeasure, Fanny has a mind of her own, asking Henry to prove himself worthy. As Edmund courts Henry's sister and as light shines on the link between Thomas's fortunes and New World slavery, Fanny must assess Henry's character and assert her heart as well as her wit.
