Director: Ang Lee
Cast: Emma Thompson, Katie Winslet, Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman

A funny and delightful romantic drama about two very different sisters, representing sense and sensibility, who try to find happiness after their dying father leaves them broke. Ang Lee's first English language film is brilliantly acted. Emma Thompson, who plays the older sister, won an Academy Award for adapting Jane Austen's novel.
