"Just Laura Ashley with doilies on their heads" - You have my undying respect for that verdict.

[JustCallMeAnnie]

I’m SO surprised that you put Gwyneth’s 1996 version in the middle category. It’s incredible!!!! Definitely the top spot for me. Wow. Shocking! I watched it long before Gwyneth ever became annoying, so that may have helped. And I love her chemistry with Jeremy Northam!

[nicoledee-collins]

Absolutely 100% agree with your top two choices!! 👏🏻 Can’t wait for the next video!

[curiousfirely]

Yus!! I'm so glad Clueless got into the top tier. It will always be my favourite adaptation of Emma.

[Magdalen]

Was disappointed that there wasn’t much discussion of the costumes in this, which is what I came here looking for. Was curious to see a comparison of the historical accuracy of the costumes in each of these films.

I truly do not understand why so many love the 2020 version. Yes the costumes were lovely and the sets, too but I barely managed to finish the film.

[wynnewhitten-holmes]

Finally a place for me to express my disappointment at the affront to womanhood that is Emma's betrayal of Harriet's secret to Mr Knightley in the 2020 film. Still, the costumes were absolutely delicious.

[aucourant]

My favourites; The Romola Gari one and Clueless.

[williamegan]

I agree with most of your ratings, but having the Gwyneth Paltrow version only mid-tier is scandalous! The music (by Rachel Portman) and costume/set design alone would make it A tier at least.

[beigeotter]

YES-- please do each jane austen adaption. That would be amazing

[TheWinnipegredhead]

Happy to see Emma approved in second tier…I was disappointed when Lizzie Bennett diaries was placed lower.

[Heather_in_Troutdale]

The Kate Beckinsale version put me off a bit because Mr. Knightley kept reminiscing about knowing Emma as a baby. It was just a little bit creepy. My personal favorite is the 2009 miniseries, with Clueless as a close #2. I need to revisit 2020 as I only saw it once.

[JustCallMeAnnie]

The 2009 miniseries version is delightful. Definitely “handsome, clever, and rich.”

[florentinacorbescu]

My 100% favorite is the one with Romola Garai!!! I also have and liked the one with Kate Beckinsale!!! These two… none of the others

[coxstereightynine]

Excellent discussion and good points all around.

[LashonDCampbell]

Great video
I really enjoyed watching.
You are amazing.
I love your channel

[JustCallMeAnnie]

I think I’ve seen the 1996 version, but didn’t realize it was Kate Beckinsale. I’ll have to rewatch it!

[Miss]

Love Clueless 😍 Need to watch the 2020 version of Emma. Thanks for this video!

[LibbyOxo]

I agree with everything EXCEPT the Gwyneth Paltrow version, for me it’s top tier. Jeremy Northam is a PERFECT Knightley. This film has the best version of the scene where Knightley scolds Emma for being rude to Miss Bates. He hates telling her off and Paltrow doesn’t overreact (like in other versions). This scene absolutely has me sobbing…I feel so ashamed for Emma.

I don't like any programmes that are based on the adaptations of Emma. Like to be transported back to the era. My favourite was 2009 and second favourite was the 1972 one. Thanks for another interesting programme.
