Classics Considered

Great books can make great movies (and, in some cases, better ones).  This week’s topic features some of my favorite costume dramas inspired by classics.

Editor’s note: In my excitement and haste, it seems I mispronounced Wodehouse’s name and called videos VCRs… whoops!  (Oh, and The Young Victoria was 2009, not 2012.  Time does fly.)

The Questions:

1. First literary drama miniseries you ever watched?
2. Last literary drama you watched?
3. What media forms do you prefer to use when watching period dramas (i.e. purchased DVDs, rented/borrowed DVDs, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu)?
4. Favorite literary drama soundtrack(s)?
5. Favorite literary musical?
6. Literary drama you’d recommend to anyone?
7. If you could have a new adaptation of your favorite classic book, what would it be and who would star?
8. A favorite pair of literary drama friends?
9. A favorite pair of literary drama enemies?
10. Movies or miniseries with the best costumes?

Where I found the questions:
Old-Fashioned Charm (1, 2, 3)
The Madd Rose (questions also from Old-Fashioned Charm’s Period Drama Challenge)
