Loved your lists! I agree with Emma 2009. It's my favorite. I'd add 1995 P&P (duh) and I really enjoyed 2008 S&S. I know that many don't like Persuasion 2007, but I LOVE it (sans running scene...it is its only flaw IMO).
Emma 2009 is on so many of our lists -- we're all clearly onto something! And the 2008 S&S will always get bonus points for broody Dan Stevens chopping wood in the rain.
Mansfield Park is my favorite of her books, and the 1983 adaptation feels spiritually true to the novel. It’s kinda hard to watch. it’s got poor film quality. Fanny is awkward. It’s not very satisfying. Lady Bertram is super weird. It’s pacing can be hard… and I absolutely adore it.
I’m not particularly fond of Emma or NA, so they don’t get to be on my list. On the other hand, I’m VERY fond of MP and therefore none of the existing adaptations will ever again pollute my TV!
In the order written by Jane Austen:
● Love and Friendship* (2016)
● Northanger Abbey (2007)
● Sense and Sensibility (1995)
● Pride & Prejudice (1995)
● Mansfield Park (1983, sorta)
● Emma (2009) & Clueless (1995)
● Persuasion (1995)
*Lady Susan
Great list! You have to wonder how many people read Love & Friendship (Freindship) and then watched the film and were *extremely* confused.
1. Persuasion (1995)
2. Pride & Prejudice (2005)
3. Sense & Sensibility (1995)
4. Emma (2009)
5. Northanger Abbey (2007)
6. Love and Friendship (2016)
Ok, I cheated it is six. The order really just depends on my mood.
So far the 2009 Emma and 2007 Northanger Abbey are on every list. Those two are definitely ringers!

Mansfield Park is my favorite of her books, and the 1983 adaptation feels spiritually true to the novel. It’s kinda hard to watch. it’s got poor film quality. Fanny is awkward. It’s not very satisfying. Lady Bertram is super weird. It’s pacing can be hard… and I absolutely adore it.
1983 Mansfield Park might need to go on the watch list -- your description is very intriguing!
My preferred adaptations:
1. The Series (P&P 1995, how can you even ask???)
• The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
• Persuasion 2007
• S&S 1995
• S&S 2008
I’m not particularly fond of Emma or NA, so they don’t get to be on my list. On the other hand, I’m VERY fond of MP and therefore none of the existing adaptations will ever again pollute my TV!
Another great list! The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is for sure an underrated favorite of many Janeites!
1. P&P 1995 (duh)
2. S&S 1995
3. Emma 2009
4. Persuasion 1995
5. Northanger Abbey 2007
This list is by no means exhaustive but it’s the top five for sure!
Another great list! So far, Emma 2009 is *the* Emma for TTAA listeners.
