I’ve watched every Austen adaptation too many times (haha!) but my rankings for Emma are the new 2020, 2009 BBC with Romola Garai, Emma Approved web series, Kate Beckinsale, and then 1996 with Paltrow. Clueless is the best “inspired by” that isn’t really an “adaptation” per se.

- Worst: Bride & Prejudice (2004) 6.1. Alright, we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Not pride, but bride. Wordplay! Fun! Also, notice the ampersand instead of "and" like in the original title (the actual movie poster uses a treble clef).

Feb 28, 2020 · Total = 7/10. “Clueless,” movie, Amy Heckerling (1995) If you didn’t know that “Clueless,” a certified ’90s classic, was an “Emma” adaptation, now you do. Turning Emma into a spoiled Beverly Hills babe works on a lot of levels, and without it we’d never have Alicia Silverstone’s amazing speech about the “Haiti-ans.”.
Feb 20, 2020 · For some reason, the mid-1990s were a hotbed of Emma adaptations — a movie starring Gwyneth Paltrow, a BBC made-for-TV version starring Kate Beckinsale, and, of course, Clueless — but while ...
