Customer Reviews for A&E Literary Classics - The Romance Collection Megaset (Pride and Prejudice / Emma / Victoria & Albert / Tom Jones / Jane Eyre / Lorna Doone / Ivanhoe / The Scarlet Pimpernel)

Bought the set for Pride & Prejudice
Like the review title says, I bought it solely for the P&P. I hoped that the other titles would prove to be equally as entertaining and well made. If you have read the other works, you'll find them to be fairly accurate to the books and well made. A&E is known for quality programming and this set is a good one to add to any collection.A&E Literary Classics - The Romance Collection Megaset (Pride and Prejudice / Emma / Victoria & Albert / Tom Jones / Jane Eyre / Lorna Doone / Ivanhoe / The Scarlet Pimpernel)

Less is more
The Colin Firth version of P&P is probably the most popular version of P&P and is definitely what influenced me to buy this box set. Emma and Jane Eyre were also enjoyable but they weren't my favorite adaptations. As for all the other movies, I don't see myself watching them more than once. I wouldn't recommend buying this entire box set unless you have actually seen all the films already.A&E Literary Classics - The Romance Collection Megaset (Pride and Prejudice / Emma / Victoria & Albert / Tom Jones / Jane Eyre / Lorna Doone / Ivanhoe / The Scarlet Pimpernel)

Good movies
My husband purchased this set of dvd's for me for Christmas. He purchased it mainly for the movie, "Pride and Prejudice." I have enjoyed most of the other movies in the set, except for "Tom Jones." I felt this movie was crass and was absolutely not on the same level as the others. The compilers would've done better to add other Jane Austen movies such as, "Persuasion," into the set. My favorites out of the set are, "Pride and Prejudice," "Jane Eyre," "Emma" and "Victoria and Albert."A&E Literary Classics - The Romance Collection Megaset (Pride and Prejudice / Emma / Victoria & Albert / Tom Jones / Jane Eyre / Lorna Doone / Ivanhoe / The Scarlet Pimpernel)

Literary classics - very good

I bought this collection for another person and they thoroughly enjoy the DVD's. I saw Pride and Prejudice many times and its great. Recently I also viewed Lorna Doone and it too was entertaining and held my attention.

Its a great collection.A&E Literary Classics - The Romance Collection Megaset (Pride and Prejudice / Emma / Victoria & Albert / Tom Jones / Jane Eyre / Lorna Doone / Ivanhoe / The Scarlet Pimpernel)

Phenomenal!
If you love the A & E production of Pride and Prejudice, you have to have this set! If you have never seen P & P, you REALLY have to have this set! :)A&E Literary Classics - The Romance Collection Megaset (Pride and Prejudice / Emma / Victoria & Albert / Tom Jones / Jane Eyre / Lorna Doone / Ivanhoe / The Scarlet Pimpernel)
