Becoming Jane
Here's a clip of one of my favorite scenes from Becoming Jane, starring Anne Hathaway as Jane Austen and James McAvoy as Tom LeFroy.
This was such a good movie that I watched it twice in one weekend. Well, I'm a sucker for literary-based period pieces, for Jane Austen, and for James McAvoy. Check out his smirk as he turns after the "horizons must be...widened" line. Mmmmm.

He IS an incredible actor! I have been a coward, unable to watch that film due to a fear of losing my ideal of Jane Austen. I will perhaps have to overcome my trepidation.
Yes, you should see it. The only drawback that I found was Anne Hathaway's grating voice and bad British accent.
I have seen a preview for this movie on virtually every movie I've received from Netflix in the past month. I'll need to see it just for Mr. McAvoy.
Is Anne's voice as annoying as Keira Knightley's mouth mannerisms in the abbreviated American version of Pride and Prejudice?
Ya know what I did when I watched that movie? I rewound and played that smirk at least ten times. I love it, too. And yes, I completely agree about her accent...the movie would have been much better without that sound in my head.
