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.
Hmmm…mine have all been mentioned more than once, so I’ll throw in my hubby’s favorite: It’s a Wonderful Life. (I’ll give you the moon Mary. I’ll take it!)
Never seen or read P&P or S&S….so I guess that would make me a good candidate…..randomly speaking.
I love pride and predjudice! I hope I win!
the romance between anne and gilbert in the anne of green gables trilogy—get a lump in my throat every time!!!! love P&P and the dashing mr darcy!!!
I don’t know if past winners can win your giveaways, but if they can, I’d love a chance at this!
We love us some Mr. Darcy, sign us UP!!
today’s my birthday! how great would it be if i won this giveaway. and then, i would not longer have to refer to him as mr. darcy, but MY mr. darcy! (remember the line from emma?)
Be still my beating heart, this giveaway is to good to be true. Favorite romantic movie…ummmmmm…”Affair To Remember”
Yup.

My book club of twenty-something young women just did Pride and Prejudice- you know we were a-swoonin’!
My favorite romantic movie might be “A Walk to Remember”- because it’s just so pure.
BooMama- have you heard Ronnie Freeman (back to that earlier music post)?– his music is awesome!
Thanks for the giveaway- blessings!
Pride and Prejudice is probably my favorite movie. I love to watch the whole 300 minutes at one sitting.
Pick me, pick me!!!!
I’m going with Much Ado About Nothing.
I love Pride and Prejudice. Please pick me — oh please!
I’d have to say The Notebook gets me every single time when it comes to romantic chick flick movie. I love it and would LOVE to win this giveaway!
Ooo, ooo, Pride and Prejudice, of course (The A&E version for us purists)! However, Sense and Sensibility has its place as well. Ahhhh…nothing like a little Darcy to cheer me up.
Seriously would love to win that DVD set!
My fav romantic movie is “Return to Me” . . . makes me cry every time!
Love me some Emma!
I’ve been lurking here for a while…but had to comment today! How could I not, which such a marvelous giveaway. Is it really possible for me to choose a favorite romantic movie? Pride & Prejudice (yes, the Colin Firth/BBC version) is … amazing & one of the best of all time! So…I’ll just leave it at that! :)
Please, please pick me. I love them all, but Mr. Darcy may be the best literary character ever… with the exception of Elizabeth Bennet, of course. :)
umm that would be a wonderful thing to have – i am sure my husband would love it too :). but seriously, that is a heck of a girls day+ party..
i would love to win that. ty
Oops. Stacy again.
Pride and Prejudice.
~Stacy
Oh, I would love to win those so I could add a little culture to my life. Count me in!
hi boo mama! this is my first comment… i love both sense & sensiblity and pride & prejudice… the fabulous mr. darcy! :)
Ohhhh! I want it! This would be great. Not that I have tons of sitting around time to watch movies, but I would totally neglect my kids for an afternoon for this!
LOVE Masterpiece Theater!! LOVE P&P!!
I’m a sucker for Dirty Dancing. :) “No body puts Baby in a corner!”
What a fun giveaway!
I’ve totally been into these kinds of movies lately. I’d love to win!
Sleepless in Seattle…..Gets me in tears everytime
Sense and Sensibility
Dear Lord, let her pick me! :)
Oh girl.
I want to win.
I have a huge crush on Mr. Darcy.
One of my favorite romantic movies is “Lakehouse.” After watching this several times with my husband I made him our own personal mailbox to put on his dresser. We can write notes back and forth and leave gifts.
One of our other favorites is “The Notebook.” And, I am not exactly excited about the extra-marital activities, but the ending… oh it makes my heart feel incredible…sad and sweet all at once.
Blessings, Kim
I absolutely love the book Pride and Prejudice, but must admit that I’ve never seen the movie. Maybe this will be my chance!
One of my favorite romantic movies is The Princess Bride.
My wedding present from my new husband almost four years ago was a set of wrapped up movies–Pride&Prejudice (this version), Sense&Sensibility, Emma (Gwyneth Paltrow version), Anne of Green Gable and Anne of Avonlea, and Little Women–for our new home. Now that’s a wedding gift to make a girl swoon.
I would LOVE this collection. My husband always rolls his eyes on Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m. because he know the Masterpiece Theater is on.
My all time favorite romantic movie is Sleepless in Seatle. Something about that movie speaks to me and gets me all sappy.
Gosh… how can I pick one. I am such a fan of Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility
More modern… I love You’ve Got Mail, Must Love Dogs, Chocolat
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
fun giveaway! my favorite, although it is WAY too hard to choose, would be The Notebook
OH please..oh please!
I have the BBC(Colin F as Darcy)Pride and Prejudice version on VHS and I have lost the 1st of the tapes………Oh how I would love the DVD………It is my favorite…….
Since I am raising 4 children and should not have this much free time.. I will not admit to how many times I have watched……The fast British accents have been slowed/warped by the numerous rewinds…………
Don’t you just love the mother Bennett!!!
…….Bless you for giving this away…..So great!…
I don’t have a blog..I hope this isn’t a blog only giveaway…
Love, love, love this giveaway!
I’m not sure if either of them fall under the romance heading (although both are filled with romances)but I love Much Ado About Nothing and Twelfth Night. Then there’s Love Actually for my fluffier favorite. Love Colin Firth’s character in that.
FYI. My dh looks a lot like Willoughby in the 2008 BBC version of Sense and Sensibility. No joke. and. AND. He does all the laundry. (Don’t hate me.)
Pick me! :)
I do love Emma with Gwyneth Paltrow. She is so adorable. I love especially love the part near the end where she is at the altar praying – too funny.
Favorite romantic movie? For starters… When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, that one with Matthew Perry and Selma Hayak, West Side Story (I think I’ve watched that one 30 times), Fever Pitch… shall I go on?
I heart Mr. Darcy, BTW.
Oh my goodness is this a wonderful giveaway! My favorite Romance movie is “Sense & Sensibility” and I would love to win this. In fact, I just finished rereading “Pride and Prejudice.” Sigh.
I’ve been liking “PS- I Love You”. Pick me! Pick me! *wink*
My favorite sappy movie is Shakespeare in Love. LOVE it. But I already own that one. I’d love to own these!! Thanks!
Oh My, I would love to win! My favorite romantic movie is every one I have ever seen!!!!!
ooh, ooh! I really love My Favorite Wife – with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. The scene where he catches sight of her fron the elevator! I just melt …
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love me some Jane Austen :)
Favorite romantic movie is Ever After.
Oh I just loved Enchanted I could watch it with my girls. My girls and I would love to win. But we will still come visit even if we don’t
I love Jane Austens Emma!!!! please pick me!
Probably the A&E version of Pride & Prejudice… we watch it, well, A LOT.
I LOVE Colin Firth…Bridget Jones Diary! Thanks.
“I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.”
Notting Hill makes a *fabulous* estrogenfest!
Ooooh, what a girl’s night…or entire weekend…this could be! My favorite is Emma. I actually took in a clip of the movie to my hair stylist for our wedding. Pride and Prejudice is a very close second.
Pick me, pick me, pick me! Oh please Mr. Random Integer Generator!!!
My favorite romantic movie of all time is Ever After! Followed closely by Never Been Kissed (because that was my life story the first and second and many more times I saw that movie, but not anymore Hallelujah!) :)
I’d love it.
Am I the only one who finds It’s a Wonderful Life romantic? Cause it gets me every time.
Pick me! Please!
Love GWTW or Bed of Roses, Pretty Woman, Sweet Home Alabama. I’m a sap-I even cry at Kleenex commercials!
Pick me!
Oh I have a really bad memory…I think my favorite romance movie would be Sleepless in Seattle.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Generous offer…thanks. Some of my favorite romantic movies…”Sound of Music”…”The King and I”….”What’s up Doc”….the list goes on (oldies I know).
Oh how I love Mr Darcy… and Mr Knightley (from Emma)
If I have to pick one favorite romance movie right now it would be Sweet Home Alabama…being the southern girl I am :o)
My favorite changes often though…
Not sure when I’ll ever have time to watch all of those, but I’d still love to have them. Especially since our DVD library currently consists of many Bond movies as well as a wide variety of sport-themed movies (Remember the Titans, Radio, etc.) Guess who does most of the DVD shopping in our house? (hint-it’s not me!)
As for my favorite…that’s hard…but I did just see Made of Honor in the theater this weekend that was a sweet one!
I want them!! My favorite is Mansfield Park…anyone??
What a swell giveaway!
My favs – Titanic, Gone With the Wind, Sound of Music, Coal Miner’s Daughter (I know lol), A Few Good Men, Ghost, Forest Gump and the list goes on and on!! These are some that I watch over and over – every time they are on tv. Maybe not your typical classic love stories, but then again I am different! lol Oh and the one with Richard Chamberlain as the priest in love – the name skips my mind right now. I’m sure I’ll think of it as soon as I go to bed!
Hugs,
Marie
Love this giveaway! Thanks. I like all kinds but I currently love Dan in Real Life. Sweet and funny.
Oh my word…I really want this…I am so guilty of coveting right now cause I don’t think that random generator thingy will pick me, but…oh, I really want it. I was watching Masterpiece last night, too, and loved it. I was also putting my kids to bed at the same time and asked my husband
(who is on crutches right now)to tell me what I missed. His synopsis was interesting to say the least. Pray for him….trapped…on crutches…watching Masterpiece Theatre with his wife. Bless his heart.
What a great giveaway! I love those British period pieces. I have to watch Mansfield Park everytime it’s on cable. Every time. Sigh.
Love these movies, chick flicks my DH will actually watch with me!
I don’t even have a favorite one, except all of them on PBS. That’s why I need these DVDs. Seriously.
I love me a good Jane Austen chick flick! My fave – Pride and Prejudice!
You younger girls need to see “Love Story” with Ryan O’Neal and Ali McGraw. I’ll never forget seeing it almost 40 years ago in Dallas just before I got married. I cried all the way home! Very romantic!
Any Austen…I’ll say “Pride and Prejudice” LOVE IT!
I’ve never seen any of these. Tragic, I know. That is why you should pick me!
Oh, please include me! I could watch those movies over and over again – and do, when I get the chance!
I have too many favorite movies, but I’ll say “While You Were Sleeping”, because my husband likes it too (that’s romantic, isn’t it?) and that movie always makes me smile.
A favorite romantic movie?
As you wish.
I love The Princess Bride.
Princess Bride then Sleepless in Seattle.
I haven’t seen any of the BBC movies so I could use this set!! :)
Sense and Sensibility FOR SURE!!!
I swooned so much over Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice….I ended up naming my first son Colin!!!!
Did you hear that random integer selectorator? You’ve just GOT to pick me!!!!!
*Sigh* My favorite romance flick…
I…
don’t…
have…
one.
Because around here? We watch Rocky. And Veggie Tales.
So obviously I need this. Hope I win!
I have never seen any of them….I would really like too though.
I love Pride and Prejudice!
Oh goodness…I love me some Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice…Sense and Sensibility. You can’t choose just one.
I also love me a good frothy romantic comedy. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
And an artsy French one. Amelie.
I have layers, people.
Sense and Sensibility!
Pride and Prejudice is my favorite Jane Austen novel, and the A&E production with the best Mr. Darcy ever is my favorite romantic movie. No question, hands down.
Trying to figure out my second favorite would be an impossible task.
I’ve never actually seen this version of the movie and have been told it puts the newer version with Kiera Knightly to shame. I’d be very interested in watching this one and the others included if I won. Thanks for letting me try!
I love, love, love Colin Firth…I will see any move with him in it!
Favorite romantic movies would be Love, Actually (favorite story in that one is the one with Colin Firth, of course) and Music & Lyrics.
Thanks, Boo Mama!!
Me ME ME! Pick ME!
Mkay, favorite romantic movie would be Return to Me starring David Duchovny and Minnie Driver. Also love Bonnie Hunt in it, because she is just ALL sorts of hilarious.
kami…you MUST see the “true” version of pride and prejudice. it is the best.
while i don’t necessarily want to win, (there are much needier girls than me in the posts before mine) i feel it must be said that while pride and prejudice is wonderful, sense and sensibility is by far the best jane austen ever did. i love it. i watch it frequently and wish that i would have lived in those days. i want to be marianne dashwood (or lizzie) when i grow up, but i do hope to find darcy–my own darcy, of course (or willoughby…shoot, i’d even take edward) willing to marry me instead of having to settle for col. brandon. though he was precious, too.
those of you that love jane as much as i do should check out this site i found the other day.
http://www.cafepress.com/buy/jane+austen/-/x_19/source_searchBox/y_7
we should start a national jane austen day. why not? she’s changed the world. well, my world, anyway.
Would you believe that, to my ninetysomething grandmother’s dismay, I have never seen any version whatsoever of Pride and Prejudice? Nor read the book!
‘Tis true. ‘Tis a great, great shame. ‘Tis also my week o’ birthday. ‘TIS.
Favorite romantic movie? Oh, I think I love ’em all. But since I have to choose one, I’ll go with a serious oldie but a goodie that hasn’t yet been mentioned:
Desk Set, with darling, witty Hepburn and cranky, charming Tracy. Bonus: for our seventh anniversary, mr. f5 gifted me with a copy of my very own.
Because for one’s seventh anniversary, the suggested gift? Is desk sets. LOVE MR. F5.
My absolute favorite movie is Pride and Prejudice =) Would love to win!
I love Mr.Darcy! I looked up all of the movies he (Colin Firth) has ever been in and wanted to watch all of them (there weren’t too many at the time)but alas I only watched one (and it was weird)! I still love him in P&P though! I hope I win!! Plus this is my first comment ever on here! Love your blog!
Please, please, please enter me in this drawing! I would love to win!
Oh, and I’m watching that Masterpiece Theatre series, Cranford, right now thanks to Tivo. Good stuff!
I love Sense and Sensibility…oh, and Hope Floats!
Oh, my daughter and I could have a romance movie marathon! I have so many favorites…but one would have to be “Pride and Prejudice”.
I love a bit of humour so I’d have to say any of the romance comedies by Doris Day are a hit with me :-)
Anyway great giveaway,
Love from Northern Ireland
Elaine
Great giveaway! I would love a chance to win this set. I need some Pride and Predjudice right now. Fun, fun.
