COURTYARD STAFF PICK: PRIDE & PREJUDICE (U) (2005)
Sparks fly when spirited Elizabeth Bennet meets single, rich, and proud Mr. Darcy. But Mr. Darcy reluctantly finds himself falling in love with a woman beneath his class.
“For my staff pick, I knew it was going to have to be a romance film. It may be cliche, but I’m a sucker for that happy ever after! Pride and Prejudice stands out to me because of its beautiful storytelling alongside equally as beautiful cinematography and visuals, which have led to me rewatching time and time again. What solidified this choice for me was finding out just how many of my friends and family had never seen it, and what better way to share it with them for the first time than on the big screen!” – Sophie, Deputy Box Office Manager
