Today I had a delightful lunch with my hubby and my little man, and when I got home I noticed a FedEx box propped against the front door.
And do you know what was inside that FedEx box? The one and only Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.
Well, I mean, it’s Mr. Darcy in DVD form. But still. It was a very special moment. And I think we should have ourselves a little giveaway to celebrate.
(However, I should probably warn you that my cousin Paige is visiting right now, and given the fact that she has never met a British romance that she didn’t absolutely love, I’m probably going to have to hide the DVDs for the next 24 hours.)
(In fact, she turned on the TV last night with the sole purpose of catching the last few minutes of “Masterpiece Theatre.” Neveryoumind that I couldn’t even tell her what channel PBS is on because as you know I AM VERY CULTURED AND REFINED.)
So.
If you’d like to win The Romance Collection Special Edition, which is bascially over 30 hours of “star-studded, classic literary adaptations on 14 DVDs” (you can see all the details right here), all you have to do is leave a comment and tell me so. I’ll leave the giveaway open until tomorrow night at 6 o’clock central time, at which point I’ll select a winner using random.org.
And just for kicks, tell me your favorite romantic movie when you leave your comment.
Oh, it’ll be jolly good fun.
(Sorry.)
(I couldn’t help it.)
(Sorry.)
This giveaway is now closed.
Pick Me! I love them all – Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibilty — love ’em!
Oh.My.Gosh. This has seriously made my day, seriously. Thanks for entering me!
What a great giveaway!
If I won this I would definitely give it to my daughter who is a big JA fan!
As for myself, I’m more into “chick flicks” and my favorite is “You’ve Got Mail”…I’m a sap and cry at the end every time…LOL!
I’m having a giveaway too though not as grand as yours ☺
Well, let me be one of the first to say I would love me some romance. Only Husband would love me to have some romance. So p
Sense and Sensibility is a classic. Hope I win!!
Ooh, ooh! Me, me!
Pride and Prejudice. I refuse to settle for anything less than Mr. Darcy. :)
I would love to win! Please enter me.
My favorite romantic movie was “Le Mans”.
It was about sports cars and racing and hey THAT’s romantic to me.
But also remember I only have one more week NOT to be 70….
I would love to win! One of my favorite romantic movies is An Affair to Remember. BOTH versions!
Oh please, random.org, please pick me! I really would love to have those movies conveniently queued up on the Apple TV so I can lose myself in some fine romance classics. It would really make my day after some twit leaves a pile of garbage outside my front door because he obviously thinks I would sink so low as to drink *Cherry Coke Zero*! And then leave my trash somewhere besides the dumpster! Obviously, twit neighbor doesn’t know that I enjoy every single calorie of the plain bonafide Coke Classic. And I don’t litter.
Sorry, that was really more than you wanted to know, I’m sure. But it sure felt good to get it out :-)
Oh, oh, oh, I LOVE these movies. Well, okay, the ones I’ve seen. But I would love to own these. I think that my all-time favorite romantic movie is Pride and Prejudice. But I also like Win a Date with Tad Hamilton (it’s better than it sounds, I promise!) and Serendipity (which makes me think of my husband when we were dating). I love your site and thanks for the giveaway!
Oh good! Another chance! I was so hoping to win this over at Rocks in my Dryer, but alas, I did not :) Here’s hoping for 2nd time’s a charm!
Favorite Romantic Movie(s): Sound of Music, Emma, and P&P :)
I love these….but would probably list a classic like Pretty Woman or Sweet Home Alabama.
My favorite is When Harry Met Sally.
I LOVE ME SOME Mr. Darcy.
My favorite romantic movie is Room With a View…
I do, I will, to have, to hold, etc.
(Persuasion, for the record)
I love Sweet Home Alabama, I could watch it over and over.
I’d have to say Breakfast at Tiffany’s or Roman Holiday…..what cool Give-Aways you have!
Oh how amazing it would be to win. And how to pick just one favorite? Almost impossible…You’ve Got Mail, Return To Me and more recent Enchanted.
What a great giveaway!! I’d have to say that my favorite romantic movie would be Father of the Bride.
This has got to be the best giveaway ever!
Two of my favorites are You’ve Got Mail and While You Were Sleeping. (but there are many many more…)
Wow!! How excited am I that you have THIS contest…I guess my favorite romantic movie would be “how to lose a guy in 10 days” or “Sweet home alabama”…how fun!! I hope I win!!
Oh, I just love BBC’s Pride and Prejudice. If I won this, I’d totally share it with my mother-in-law, who is on bedrest with a broken foot. We could have a romance marathon.
My favorite romance would have to be Love Actually…I adore that movie!
Please pick me!
Oh pick me!
One of my favorite’s is The Princess Bride.
I also like the Love comes softly series. Except the last one… I wont see because they kill the cute husband that should not get killed! LoL :D
Have a super day!
-Tessa

Pride and Predjudice. Love that one, could watch it again and gain. In fact, I have :)

My favorite would be Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve got Mail, do you see a theme here? I do love Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in a movie together.
Yea…enter me enter me and then pick me pick me!!!
Is “Dirty Dancing” a romantic movie? ‘Cause that’s mine and it doubles as my guilty pleasure movie. ;)
Anything Jane Austin!!!!
Oh man, the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice! No contest there.
I ADORE You’ve Got Mail, but I also really love Sense and Sensibility and Sleepless in Seattle.
Is there any other romance movie? Pride and Prejudice is THE one! :o)
Oh, can it be true? Without a doubt, P & P does it for me.
I man I love Pride & Prejudice! Great Giveaway!
I would love to win this so I can give it to my mom. I love Jane Austen, but my mom LOVES Jane Austen. This is fun!
Favorite romance? Hands down Gone With The Wind. And anything with Audrey Hepburn.
I do get gulpy tears during French Kiss.
I’m not much of a movie-sap, so that’s saying something.
I love Dances with Wolves…..I love that much of it is told from the perspective of his thoughts…..Pam, South Bend
Whoohoo…what a giveaway! I am not too terribly cultured and ‘stuff’ but I did really enjoy Pride and Prejudice except for the fact that I watched them in VHS and out of order! Whoops! :) My FAV romantic movie has got to be either How to Lose a guy in 10 Days or 13 Going on 30! Thanks!!
Oh please include me.
Smiles!
I’d love to win these to give to my daughter. She loves Mr. Darcy. Thanks.
You need to pick me because I will officially be out of school in 3 weeks and will have absolutely nothing to do with my time other than sit and watch 14 DVD’s!
I love Colin Firth in about anything! I love Jane Austen books and movies based on her books. My favorite romantic movie is “Return to Me.” So please pick me!
Ooh, love the Romantic Collection. Especially Mr. Darcy!
Pick me… pick me! Pretty please. I will soon be living overseas and my only connection with home will be English Speaking DVD’s.
Gone With the Wind–for sure!
I would like it, please. :)
My favorite romance movie is The Notebook, of course!
Pick me! Yay! My favorite is a mini-series – North and South. Love it.
I know it’s old fashioned, but my favorite romantic movie….NO….favorite movie of all time is: It’s a Wonderful Life.
I’d love to win this collection!! Thank you!
Call me crazy, but my favorite love story is Life Is Beautiful. I usually have to stop watching after the larger-than-life romance at the beginning, but just thinking about Guido’s love for his wife (and of course his son) the rest of the movie makes me want to start bawling right now.
OH PLEASE PICK ME, O Random Selector.
My favorite is The Holiday. :)
Oooh, pick me, pick me!
How do you ladies keep getting these to give away?? I didn’t win Shannon’s… ooooh, please please please random.org pick me! ;-)
I love Jane Austen so much… I want to name a boy Darcy. My husband.. not so much, but we have only had 2 boys so far.. so there’s potential for a “Darcy” in our clan yet!
My favorite romantic movie always happens to change right after I watch one.. sooo… since I re-watched Chocolat last night, I’m going to go with that ;-)
Have you seen Becoming Jane????!!! You can totally see who in her life represents what characters in her novels!
Oh!please Mr. Randomness, pick me!! Jane Eyre is one of my favorites. One of my other (more modern) favorites is When Harry Met Sally.
I just watched “Becoming Jane” last night and so I’m definitely in the mood for some English romance!
My favorite (so hard to narrow it down it is): Casablanca!
Please include me! I’m a lurker but I’ve been reading your blog since you went to Africa & love it.
Oh I love Mr Darcy!
Favorites: Pretty Woman, American President, and Sound of Music
I watched Pride & Prejudice for the first time with my mother-in-law and sis-in-law this last New Years Eve and just loved it!! Would love to have this set to share with them.
“Return To Me” is one of my other favorite romantic movies. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!!
Oh Oh Oh!!!! I love Pride and Prejudice! I carry a copy of the book in my purse ALL THE TIME! I can open it anywhere and enjoy whatever chapter it falls to. My favorite movie of all time is, of course, the A&E version of P&P!
Pick me!!!
I love Sense and Sensibility, but my watch over and over and over movie is “While you were sleeping”.
My favorite romantic movie is the Julia Roberts bunch: Knotting Hill, Runaway Bride, etc.
But I do love Mr. Darcy. A lot.
He makes me *swoon* as much as a nice Christian girl is allowed.
I would beg you mercilessly to pcik me, but that didn’t work on Shannon, so I’ll just pretend that I DON’T want it, even though it’s a shameless lie. Because who wouldn’t want to stare at Colin Firth for two whole hours? (okay, maybe my husband, but whatever. He can play computer games!)
And I loved Emma.
Well, besides all the Jane Austen flicks, I’m a big fan of You’ve Got Mail. That Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks – too cute. Perfect screenwriting on that one.
Mr. Darcy makes me swoon!
I’d love to win!
Oh, I hope I win! I love, love, love Sense and Sensibility, and of course, Pride and Prejudice!
Oohhhh! I want it! I want it!
I love The Last of the Mohicans.
Oh, be still my beating heart!! What an amazing give away! I’d love to win Mr.Darcy!!! ;)
Sorry, my favorite is a non-Jane Austen movie – While you were Sleeping. :-)
OOOOOOHHHH! I love love love Jane Austen’s books. Ahhh. (Sigh)
My favorite romantic movie? I have two: While You Were Sleeping and Sabrina (both the old and new versions). OH and one more! Shop Around the Corner/ In the Good Ol’ Summertime and You’ve Got Mail are all the same story–I love it! I guess that makes 6, six of my favorite movies–wahh ha ha ha ha! (hear thunder from the count and Sesame Street!).
I love Pride & Prejudice. It is very romantic. There are too many good romances out there to pick a favorite.
Oh great random number generator please bring Mr Darcy to me in the form of Collin Firth. I love Pride and Prejudice. Mr Darcy is great and Elizabeth is wonderful. My favorite is when she tells off “Lady Katherine DeBourgh” and when he remembers her look across the room….OOOOOHHH!!! I want it bad!!!!
Oh, I do love those. I think my all-time favorite would have to be the version of Persuasion with Ciaran Hinds and Amanda Root.
OHHHH!!! PLEASE!!!! PICK!!!! ME!!!! I really love me some BBC versions of the classic British authors!!!! And how am I supposed to pick a favorite??? I haven’t met one that I didn’t love!
I love, love, love Mr. Darcy! Jane Austin is awesome!
Good Gravy! Pick one? P&P, i think
Pride and Prejudice, for sure! How I love the brits…
Ooohhh Me ooooh my! I love Pride & Predjudice. Matter o fact we are watching it right now as I also catch up on some blogs. One of my all time favorites is this! But I also LOVE, the notebook, August Rush, Sense & Sensibility… oh just about any good romance and tear jerker.
Oh! That sounds wonderful!! Pick me!! :-)
I am all excitement!
Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book, and therefore my favorite movie.
I would love to please be entered in the drawing. My favorite romantic movie is Gone With the Wind.
Thank you!
I love love love P&P, but just to be different, I’ll mention another great love–the Scarlet Pimpernel. Such a great movie–my favorite part is when she figures it out. Marvelous drama and romance.
fun! My most favorite movie of all time, romantic and otherwise, in Sound of Music. The Hills are Alive! (:
I love them all: Pride & Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility (And I love Little Women!). I’ve been wanting Emma on DVD. I would give the entire set a great home!!!
I love Mr. Darcy, what a great giveaway
Okay, I’ve never read a Jane Austen book or seen one of the movie adapts. However, I HAVE seen two movies ABOUT her and her books lately. Does that count? (and I know how to find PBS on my TV)
Not a big movie-watcher, but I do love You’ve Got Mail. And Enchanted.
And my mama and papa LOVE this kind of stuff, so I would please like to win it for them. A Mother’s Day/Father’s Day gift combo if you will.
But why am I telling you all this, Boo Dear? You’re just going to press the magic random integer button thingy, aren’t you?
Poo.
LOVE MR.DARCY!!!! What a great video collection!!!
I’d love to win the romantic movie package. One of my favorites would have to be The Wedding Planner.
I would LOVE to have these! If it were up to my husband, our DVD collection would be limited to action-packed, science fiction, and sports movies! :)
OH RANDOM.ORG – YOU KNOW YOU WANNA PICK MEEEEEE!!!
favorite? The Notebook. i cry every single time.i just can’t watch it anymore.
I need some culture to go with my shut-up dogs.
Oh Emma is my absolute favorite! What a fantastic giveaway!
I love both versions of Pride and Prejudice (BBC and new version).
More up to date though would be Fever Pitch with Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore.
Thanks for a great giveaway.
I WANT TO WIN!!! P&P is my favorite movie besides To Kill A Mockingbird. After that maybe Gone with the Wind and Pretty Woman. :)
Me! Me!! ME!!!
(please pick me!!!)
I have two favorite movies and would be hard pressed to pick between the two.
Roman Holiday w/ Audrey Hepburn & Gregory Peck and You’ve Got Mail w/ Meg Ryan & Tom Hanks.
Both make me laugh.
Both make me cry.
And, until I met him, both made me long for the man of my dreams … now they both just make me ponder on how sweet it is to have found him.
Oh, I do love a romantic giveaway! My three teenage daughters (one is actually 21) LOVED Mr. Darcy – even the older six-hour version. Favorite romantic movie? Definitely While You Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock. Not to be missed.
oh yay! My favorite romance movie is The Notebook. But I also love the tragedy, I must say.
Okay it’s so not a classic but P.S. I Love You had me in hysterical laughter and silmultaneous tears. In a theatre. Alone. But that is a whole different story!
Did you purchase this just to give it away? So generous! =) I have heard over and over how I NEED to watch a good version of P&P. Maybe if I win, you could make that happen.
ummm, favorite movie of all time is the Sound of Music. I also adore Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in both Sleepless and Mail…Enchanted is my current favorite.
I know, I’m very chatty and that’s way more than you needed to know.
The NEW Pride & Prejudice is pure, sweet, deliciousness.
An Affair to Remember or Sabrina (original).
Ohhhh, very romantic!!! I’m reading “Pride and Prejudice” right now! I think my favorite of all time though is “An Affair to Remember”.
Pick me, pick me oh random picker thingie.
My favorite is Sleepless in Seattle. I heart movies with Tom and Meg.
