With the Jane Austen novles did you like the books better, or the movies?
Wich books were you favorites, wich movies.

 I always like the books better, but the movies are always good for visualization...Sense and Sensibility with Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant (HOT MAN, YEAH!) has always being one of my all time favorite movies.

I love the characterizations I make up in novels, and hate it when my ideas are totally thrown up, or I really like the ideas the directors/producers come up with.
But books are better.

The only Austen movie I've seen so far is Pride and Prejudice, and though I loved it, I like the book better. I almost always like books better than their movie versions.
Yeah, I really want to see more Jane Austen movies, but since I'm the only one in my family who's interested in them, I have to use my own limited resources (in other words, the library). I'm still waiting for my library's copy of the Sense and Sensibility movie to be returned.
I've been meaning to watch the Jane Austen series on PBS, but my TV has problems receiving channels. =(

Books are always better. It's blasphemous to think otherwise.
I loved the movie of Sense and Sensibility, though. Sigh. Alan Rickman is love.
And the Pride and Prejudice miniseries is a classic.

Books of course. Though adaptations are also good, I seem to always find something missing with them...

The books are naturally better in my opinion, they provide so much more than a movie can. Although, I love how movies can show emotions visually. I mean, for example, in ITV's Pursuasion, you can see the akward glances, and long stares between Captain Wentworth and Anne better than the book's offhand notations of the glances shared.

I prefer the books because they are more detailed than the movies.

Thats the funniest question i've ever heard! Jane Austen was an author I'd be shocked if someone chose movies..they are good, but the books...nothing compares!
