Director Autumn de Wilde offers a stylish and snooty take on the titular matchmaker (played by Anya Taylor-Joy) that modernizes the romance at the center of Austen’s story. In this retelling, Mr. Knightley (a swoonworthy Johnny Flynn) is no longer 16 years Emma’s senior, but a peer who encourages her to be a little less Regina Georgeand a little mo...

Renée Zellweger plays the movie’s namesake British singleton who finds herself stuck in a Pride and Prejudice-esque love triangle with her overconfident boss Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) and the prideful lawyer Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). While elements of this film haven’t aged especially well—fat-shaming, sexual harassment, workplace power imbalance...

- 'Pride and Prejudice' 1995: TV Series starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.

- 'Emma' 1995: 'Clueless' "Clueless," starring Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd, is a loose take on the 1815 comedy of manners about of a single woman playing matchmaker, then finding love of her own in the most unlikely of places.
- ‘Sense and Sensibility’ 1995: Film with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet. The bad news: The Dashwood sisters have been well-off financially, and are now destitute.
- 'Persuasion' 1995: BBC limited series with Ciaran Hinds. Eight years before the start of the action, Anne was persuaded by friends not to marry Captain Wentworth; now that Wentworth is renting out space in her family home (Anne's family need the money) the two have a chance to revisit old hurts and get re-acquainted.
