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.
You are so sweet to think of all of us. I would love the chance to win this set. My favorite all time romantic movie – Notting Hill “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her”.
Several of my favorite romance movies include:
The Notebook
Return to Me
Pretty Woman
Pride and Prejudice
Sleepless in Seattle
50 First Dates
There’s more, but I shall stop there.
Hope I win!! My MIL will LOVE those DVD’s and it will be great “girl time” to watch together!!!!
I just learned the other day that they were releasing this set. My daughter and I love watching these shows on PBS together, but it would be even better to be able to share them together on DVD, where we can pick the time that we watch them. Please enter me in your drawing. I would really like to win them for my daughter.
North & South… Pride & Prejudice… Emma…. there are too many to choose from!
Keep those DVDs hidden, becuase i want to win them!
And one of my favorite movies…”Last of the Mohicans.”
My favorite romantic movie is “The Notebook,” at which I cried so hard I had to sit in the movie theater afterwards for at least 20 minutes before I could show myself in public because I was all blotchy-faced and runny-nosed.
My second favorite is Pride and Prejudice, pretty much any adaptation. :-)
OH I have really wanted to see those! My favorite romantic movie is “When Harry Met Sally”.
I love them all, but one of my favorites is Sense and Sensibility. Thank you for this giveaway!
I adore anything Jane Austin! Mansfield Park, Emma, Sense and Sensibility are lovely! However, my favorite is Pride and Prejudice! Thanks for having this drawing MRS. BOOMAMA!!!!!!!
I have never seen Pride and Prejudice so I really would like to win so I can see the movie. This is sooooo exciting!!!! I will be on pins and needles to see if I win!!
I LOVE P&P, S&S, Emma, and the rest! What a great giveaway. I think my favorite romance movie would be “Hitch.” It’s the first movie I went to on a date with a guy… and now he’s my husband!
Oh WOW! I am a HUGE fan of British comedy/romance! I love Pride and Prejuidice, Sense and Sensibility, Notting Hill, Love Actually, etc…but my favorite is P & P!!! And I LOVE Collin Firth! So pick me Mr. Random guy thing!
A new movie!! Sweet!
My favorite romantic movie? Hmmmm…..
The Quiet Man. Love Maureen O’Hara & John Wayne together. I’m not so much the PBS type either, unless it’s the Antique Roadshow.
I hope i win.
I’d love to win! My favorite is Pride and Prejudice.
I like more of a hybrid romance–something light or funny, like Notting Hill or even Hitch. And I’m lucky because my hubby will watch those with me.
A Jane Austen-esque show–well I’m on my own there, so I’d love to have a stash to watch on days at home when I need a good fix.
Cheerio!
I so hope I win! I love pride & prejuduce, it is one of my all-time favorites!
I’d love to win this and have a great big slumber party with my sister! My favorite of recent months is Emma. :o)
Love these! My fav chick flick movie is Sweet Home Alabama!
Oh, wow! Great prize! (As it happens I’m getting together with friends this weekend to watch the A&E version of P&P.)
I think my favorite movie in recent years has been Love, Actually. All forms of love, very funny and moving.
Oh! Please pick me! ME! I absolutely LOVE Pride and Prejudice! Mr. Darcy is the ULTIMATE!
How fun! I like When Harry Met Sally.

Pick me! I love Pride and Prejudice, but also Sense and Sensibility, Jane Eyre. The list goes on and on…
I’m partial to “Emma” since it mirrors my own love story pretty closely.
Oh, I hope I get picked. My favorite girl movie is Sweet Home Alabama.
There is no romance better than Mr. Darcy and Miss Bennet (in English fiction, anyway). Scarlett and Rhett would be a close second.
Oh, my heavens! I am such an Anglophile and love Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters (Can you tell I was an English teacher in another life?)
My all-time favorite movie, which just happens to be a romance set in Ireland (where my husband and I honeymooned) is The Quiet Man with Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne. The runner-up is You’ve Got Mail, with the original Shop Around the Corner a close third.
I would absolutely love to win this! Masterpiece Theatre is awesome! I am really enjoying Cranford right now. :)
Oh, please pick me!! Your niece and I would get along well in the movie picks. As for a favorite? It’s so hard to pick and changes every few minutes or so. Currently, the favorite is Anne of Green Gables.
Oh I love me some Mr. Darcy!!!
Favorite romantic movie? That’s hard to pick Ms. Boo. But I think I’d have to say perhaps Emma (“Badly done Emma. Baaadly done!”)
Thanks for the chance to win!
Chris
*swoon* LOVE Mr. Darcy, although I’ve only seen the Matthew McFayden version.
I would love to win this. My favorite romance is Top Gun and Pride and Prejudice.. how is that for a combination :-P
OH BOO!! Hands down my fave romantic movie is A&E’s Pride and Prejudice. I’m a huuuuge Gone With the Wind fan, too, but mostly the book. And, well, the fact that Rhett leaves her in the end isn’t exactly romantic. Oh well. I adore all the Jane Austen adaptations and I’d be excited to see other adaptations that involve other books/authors! Thanks!
Oh I NEED, and I mean NEED me some romance! My life right now is quite a sad story….
There are too many good romace movies, but my very favorites are Sense and Sensibility, When Harry met Sally, and Lake House.
Thanks!
I’m so in on this one; with five daughters it’s a must have!
I love Sweet Home Alabama for this line: “Why’d you marry me anyway? So I can kiss you whenever I want!”
I love a good chic flick – but I usually only watch movies once. I do watch American President every time I see it on cable – is that a romantic movie?
Does the Matrix count as a romance? Love that trilogy. Regency is another fav. Would love watching these with my sister.
I need a summer movie marathon.
Come to me Mr. Darcy…….I need some culture in my life. When Harry Met Sally is my fav romance (see…I need culture)
Kelly S. Michigan
Oh me, me, me!!!
Thanks!
Emily
Ohhhhh…. I love me some British Accents!!!
I’d love to be able to give this to my mother for Mother’s Day.
And my favorite romatic comedy is “Notting Hill,” mostly because the song my husband and I danced to at our wedding is in it…
What a wonderful give away! Brought me right out of lurkering.
I enjoy all of Jane Austen’s movies, but I think “Sense & Sensibility” is my favorite. And I have to say I join cousin Paige in that I have never met a British romance that I did not love.
Lori
Enter me please! My favorite romance is Sleepless in Seattle.
I’m a sucker for “Pretty Woman”…Julia Roberts was adorable!
Poor short Richard Gere…the movie was cute.
How can you pick just one romantic comedy? I recently fell in love with Sense and Sensibility. You should really watch it Boo. I also love How to lose a guy. . ., the old version of Sabrina, Grease, P.S. I love you. Too many to name.
What a great giveaway!! One of my favorite romantic movies is Far and Away – this was back before Tom Cruise was so weird!!
Oh gosh, how I would love to add this to my collection. My favorite romantic movie is The Notebook, for sure.
Oh, I love Pride and Prejudice! Thanks for the giveaway! My favorite romantic movie is Random Harvest with Greer Garson. It’s a classic that you must see!
I love When Harry Met Sally.
GLORIOUS!!! My faves? Pride and Predjudice and Gone With The Wind, which my favorite viewing included the last movie showing at a wonderful old theatre in Jackson, MS. Thank you!
My favorite romantic movie is …. wait for it… Pride & Prejudice!!! ha! So if I won, I would be ever so grateful!!!!!!! :) Thanks for the lovely chance! :)
Oh my goodness! Great giveaway! Pride and Prejudice (all 20 versions) are my fav!
I’d like to be entered for the giveaway. :)
Thanks!
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. FAVORITE. BOOK. OF. ALL. TIME.
EVER.
LOVE IT.
I like Gone with the Wind. A classic. Thanks for the chance to win!
Please enter me in this most refined and delicate giveaway. I completely ignored my husband while watching Mansfield Park this weekend, so perhaps I need to step away from the Jane, but it is just too, too interesting.
I love “Shadowlands” with Anthony Hopkins as C.S. Lewis. That movie makes me cry every time I see it!
Oh my! Pick my favorite?! Um, Pride & Prejudice. No, Sense & Sensibility. No, The Notebook. Wait, You’ve Got Mail. I give up…I love them ALL!!
Oh, I’d have to say When Harry Met Sally”… just enjoy them FINALLY getting together, plus it’s funny, and I like funny!
I’d like to win, too!
I think my favorite romantic movie is When Harry Met Sally. Not too mushy, but still sweet…and hilarious.
In the words of Donkey from Shrek….”OOO, pick me. Pick me. Pick me!” I love a good love story. Of course I’m still single and blinded by the belief that I can have happily ever after too. My favorite would either be “The Notebook” or “Anne of Green Gables” or “Love Comes Softly”. All very good!
GONE WITH THE WIND…my all time favorite. I would love to win your contest, thanks for allowing me to enter!
Oh, so love Gone with the Wind!! Thanks for entering me.
Oh! Last summer I read the entire Jane collection. How did I do it with two babies?! I do love me some Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice- Is there anyone more romantic than Mr. Darcy?! I think it only appropriate to pass on my adoration to my daughter!!
I like them all! No way to pick one..Sound of Music, You’ve Got Mail, The Philadelphia Story & Affair to Remember both with Cary Grant, Sense & Sensibility…tons of good ones!
Would love to win this!I love the Jane Austin stuff (all of it!), but You’ve Got Mail is soooo good!
Well there is part of me that loves Pride & Prejudice, so much so I already own it on DVD. Then there is the other (very large) part of me that is stuck in the 80’s and I’m still loving “Say Anything.” I’m completely cultured and refined too, can’t you tell?
How can one choose just one movie of Jane Austen’s? I love Pride and Prejudice and Emma.
I also like Jane Eyre and the Princess Bride – it’s corny but sweet!
Please pick me random number generator!
Oh, with this many entries….why not one more? :) I’d so love to own this collection. As for my favorite romantic movie, I think I don’t know what to pick! Cary Grant is always good. I love me some Anne of Green Gables. But, I think I’m forgetting the best one…it’s on the top of my tongue…grrr. :)
An Affair To Remember, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, Sleepless In Seattle, The Rainmaker, Desk Set, Love Affair. Can you tell I love romance!
Ahhh, hours and hours of fun. My favorite romantic movie is the remake of Sabrina with Harrison Ford an Greg Kinnear.
Oh wow, I’d love to win this! I couldn’t even begin to name a favorite, but I could give you a top 10 if I really tried! :)
Where to begin! I love romantic movies like Sound of Music, Mannequin, North and South series, An Affair to Remember, Sleepless in Seattle, Lake House, You’ve Got Mail. Oh I could go on and on….
I can’t pick just one. Just in reading about 10 comments I remembered about 15 favorites… I do LOVE a good romantic chick flick… Thanks for entering me!
What can top 5 hours of Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice?
If I don’t finally let it out that I am, in fact, in LOVE with Mr. Darcy, I think my head may explode! This might be my only chance to be with him forever!!
How sweet of you to give away love! I’ve not actually seen any of those movies, so I do not know of this Mr Darcy you speak, but I assure you I would love to find out! Something other than animated in the DVD player? Will it actually work?
My favorite love movie is The Notebook.
Thanks for such fun!
Oh, this is a great giveaway! I love P&P. Every time I hear the name Mr. Darcy, I have to say Mr. Dahhhrcy. lol!
My favorite movies are Titanic and The Notebook!!
This would be SO wonderful to win!
I love all these movies. I think my all-time favorite is Out of Africa though. Don’t you just love a good love story set out in the wild? Plus Robert Redford doesn’t hurt anything either :-)
Oh, this would be so fun!
My favorites are Pride & Prejudice and Jane Eyre (sigh).
Thanks,
Tanys
oh please!!! Me!!! Mr Darcy, sigh, swoon.
Enter me please :).
I want this! Please? With queso on top? And fried chicken on the side? :)
I love Pride & Prejudice and Jane Eyre. They are my favorites.
ME! ME! ME! I’m not sure what’s my absolute favourite, but BBC’s version of Jane Eyre is right up there.
I would love to win this. I had a hard time thinking of my favorite romance. I always enjoy watching “While You Were Sleeping” or “Ever After”. Not quite the caliber you are giving away but still fun.
3 way tie: BBC’s Pride and Prejudice, When Harry Met Sally, and You’ve Got Mail.
I have too many favorite romantic movies. . . but “Shall We Dance?”, “Gone With The Wind”, “The Sound of Music” are a few of my favorites!
I love Mr. Darcy and would really love to own him in DVD!!
Pride and Prejudice, and North and South.
Oh, I would love that set!! Jane Austen is my favorite author.
What a fun giveaway! Perfect for a girl’s night! Or a romantic night with my husband, if I can actually get him to watch it.
Which movies do I like…Pride and Prejudice, Everafter, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Notting Hill…those come to mind right away.
Thanks for doing this!
I’d love a chance to win!
My favorite romantic movie of ALL TIME is wuthering heights – the old, original one!
I would love to win this, much to the chagrin of the boys in this house!!
I love Sabrina, the old one. Pride and Prejudice is really close! The book is great as well as the movie!
I would LOVE to win this….”mrs darcy…mrs darcy…mrs darcy” is my favorite line ever ;-) thanks for the chance to win.
Ooooo, I would love to win this!! I am a fan of all Austen movies – and loved ITV’s 2007 versions of Sense and Sensibility, as well as Northanger Abbey. Another favorite is Miss Potter. Thank you for the chance to win!
Pick me, pick me!!!! My all time fav in the the romantic movie department would be An Affair to Remember. Does Gone with the Wind count as a semi-romance?
I would love to win! And my current favorite is Love, Actually, but it changes relatively regularly.:)
Ooh…what a great contest! My favorite romantic movie is Pride and Prejudice, but I also love romantic comedy so I’d have to put My Big Fat Greek Wedding up there among the best, too. I know…that’s really a contradiction in styles, isn’t it?
All the Pride and Prejudices, although we love the old one with Lawrence Olivier and Edna May Oliver as Lady Catherine. And we *love* Bride and Prejudice–it’s the Bollywood version with Aishwarya Rai, Naveen Andrews and others. Gorgeous movie and *so* hilarious. So many quotes from that one are in our family lexicon!
And 50 First Dates.
And Emma and Persuasion and the rest of the Jane Austens.
Sound of Music. How awesome is that one?
Hope Floats.
Just love, love, love it.
