Synopsis

Contains the costume dramas SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (1995), AGE OF INNOCENCE, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (2005), ELIZABETH, and A ROOM WITH A VIEW.
Set in the English countryside, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY follows the loves and heartaches of sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. The two have extremely divergent approaches to life: Elinor represents 'sense' and believes in behaving with propriety and thoughtfulness, while Marianne represents 'sensibility' and basks in her own emotions. Both women, however, experience confusion when their lovers, seemingly on the verge of proposing marriage, spurn them.
THE AGE OF INNOCENCE, directed by Martin Scorses, is an adaptation of Edith Wharton's Pullitzer Prize-winning novel which chronicles the hypocrisy of high society in the 1880s and tells of three wealthy New Yorkers caught in a love triangle.
In SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, the reign of Elizabeth I finds Will Shakespeare, a writer, broke and envious of a rival. Then, he meets with a woman who wants to be an actor and who disguises herself as a man.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE follows the five Bennet sisters as they deal with suitors and love, as their mother desperately schemes to marry them off advantageously. Sweet-tempered beauty Jane (Rosamund Pike) develops feelings for the equally amiable and extremely wealthy Mr. Bingley (Simon Woods), but forces conspire to keep them apart while Lizzie (Keira Knightley) finds herself first appalled by, but gradually drawn to, Bingley's aloof, intelligent, and socially awkward friend, Mr. Darcy (Matthew MacFayden).

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this collection if you're looking for the films it says are in it!!, 18 April 2009
Regardless of whether The Remains of the Day is a good film, I don't think it's acceptable that you do not get the films stated in the product description. I'm really gutted I wasted my money on this as 2 of the 5 films I bought the collection for ('Shakespeare in Love' and 'Pride and Prejudice') were missing!! I'm annoyed I didn't read the reviews before I bought..this was a complete disapointment :(

2.0 out of 5 stars Misguided!, 23 Dec 2008
By Ash "Ash" (England) - See all my reviews
Although the product I got looked exactly like this one, it has only 5 films rather than the advertised 6, no 'Pride and Prejudice' and no 'Shakespear in love' but 'Remains of the Day' instead, which is a terrible film. Distinctly unimpressed!
