Better than Pride & Prejudice

Have you seen the BBC's movie version North & South (based on a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell)? I just rewatched it recently and it is SOOOO good. : ) If you haven't seen it, here's a fan-made trailer to pique your interest (warning: spoilers).


If you've seen it, what do you think? Better than Pride & Prejudice? Equal? Worse? I'm pretty faithful to Austen and I do think the book Pride & Prejudce is 10 times better than North & South, but I really like the inclusion of the history, politics, and religion in North & South. Also, my Dad liked this movie and actually stayed awake for it so that's saying A LOT.

The movie version of Wives & Daughters (also by Gaskell) is very good too.
