Pride and Prejudice — April 3
Sorry to the die-hard Colin Firth stans out there, but I think we all can admit that Matthew Macfadyen and Keira Knightley’s adaptation of Pride and Prejudice is top-tier cinema. These two perfectly capture the tension and unspoken longing of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, and the classic romance movie is hitting BritBox on April 3.
