Pride and Prejudice APPRECIATION GUYS IT'S SOOOO GOOOOOOOD

I just watched P&P (IF ANYONE IS WONDERING WHICH ONE WHERE DID YOU COME FROM AND WHY ARE YOU READING MY BLOG
unless you're new in which case just peek around a teeny bit and the answer will become quite clear, no worries)

Anyway, as I was saying, I watched P&P--for, like, around the 8th time? I've lost count--yesterday with a dear friend, the same one I watched The Scarlet Pimpernel with in fact, and GUYS
GUYS
LADIES
IT'S SO GOOD
She's seen it even more times than I have, I think, and we both could quote word for word like half of the lines. Which means she's one of those people that makes watching P&P really fun. 
(I've seen it twice with my best friend and same thing. It's the best.)
It was super, super fun. 

BUT ALSO

IT'S SO GOOD

I think I said "Oh this is my favourite scene" enough times to rival Miss Lane's "one weakness"es. Here are some, I don't think they'll end up in order.

MR. COLLINS
All of Mr. Collins, but the part where he's driving away from his house and he goes backwards makes me crack up every time.
BUT ALSO HIS FACE IN GENERAL



(Low quality pics, yes, my specialty, dearie me.)
(I meant the low resolution, not the featured character, of course. Goodness.)

This scene with Lady Catherine:

And also this scene with Lady Catherine: 
As in the scenes in which these quotes were given. The whole scenes.

Also I think this is turning into a list of favourite characters, not scenes, because really ALL THE SCENES WITH LADY CATHERINE ARE GOLD.

But also.
THISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHIS
THIS

THIS SCENE
THIS. SCENE.
THIS SCENE

I wonder if BBC has either put or allowed it to stay on YouTube so you can all be reminded. 
 I don't strongly approve of this title, and the first 2.5 minutes are just the infamous Lake Scene, but okay. Go to about 2:55 and watch through the end. It's only a teeny teeny bit of 
THE BEST SCENE IN THE WHOLE MOVIE
YESJUSTYESYESYESSSSS
(It really might actually be my actual favourite.)

Well, except maybe...
THIIIIISSSSS SCEEEEENNNE
AND BBC HAS GENEROUSLY PUT THE WHOLE SCENE ON YOUTUBE
THANK YOU


(Though they had to put a bad word in the description, why. Fortunately it doesn't show here.)

Much squealing, etc., took place during this scene when we watched it.
And has every single time I've watched it.
Of course.
Don't try to tell me you don't adore this scene with all your heart. I won't believe you, or I'll disown you.

Okay so really the last two scenes I mentioned are my very, very favourite-est scenes in all of ever.
The end.

(Not of the post.)

GUYS I JUST LOVE PRIDE AND PREJUDICE SO MUCH

Also, I applaud anyone who can sit down and write a collected, calm review of this movie. Like--how? I applaud you but...how??

ANYWAY
Y'ALL WANT SOME MORE MR. DARCY??



This scene is also great

ALSO
"What"

((Hey, I actually added some new P&P pictures to my blog instead of using the ones from My Pride and Prejudice My Face When Post That You Should Check Out If You Haven't are you proud of me? I'm proud of me.)
(I just read it again and wow, I wrote that a while ago. Forgive the fact that I was young and early in my blogging when I wrote it.)

NOW I'M GONNA GIVE YOU THE MR. DARCY SMILE TO FINISH OFF THIS POST so you're left with a great feeling even though this post was a wreck WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT IT'S P&P THIS POST WAS AMAZING

*Rae out*

  1. Nice! I love this mini series so so so so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Ok, so, I wish my friends liked period dramas. You're so lucky there to have friends to watch them with. I do have my mom, of course. But I particularly wish my best friend was more interested, you know. Anyway, I loved this. All those pics of Mr. Darcy! And YAAAASSS that scene where she looks back!!! And of course the piano scene, too. Such perfect moments! (I'm getting really excited as I write this. Can you tell? Haha.) Now I really want to watch P&P '95!

    1. I do consider myself super lucky to now live close enough to friends that will watch P&P with me! Before I moved, I was 2,000 miles away from my best friend and I hadn't met this other friend yet. So that part of living here is a very welcome change!!
      YES JUST ALL OF THEM, RIGHT?!

      Thanks so much for your comment!!!

    1. Hahaha.

      You and I have a similar sense of humour, I think. I always find your posts so amusing, and you at least claim to find bits of mine so. :D

      YES YES YES
      And now I'm also wondering why I didn't include that last scene in this post. I was just like, trying to cram it all in, and I decided to cut it off before I got there. Or something.
      BUT IT'S SOOO GOOD AND YES SO HAPPY
      "Such I might still be were it not for you, DEAREST LOVLIEST ELIZABETH" just YES

      Thanks so much for your comment, Miss March!!!!

  6. Okay just YES YES YES to everything in this post!!! Oh this movie is just perfection and I love it so much. <3

    Those Mr. Collins and Lady Catherine pictures were seriously cracking me up!

    YESSS that scene with Lizzy and Mr. Darcy at Pemberley! SO sweet. Definitely one of my absolute favorite parts of the movie.

    That "Darcy Out" gif is just plain awesome. :P

    I LOVED reading this post, Rae! Now you've got me wanting to rewatch this ASAP. Thankfully it just so happens that my birthday is next weekend, so I might just have to use that to my advantage and make my family watch it with me, haha. :)
