Emma

Miramax Films | Release Date: August 2, 1996

Summary: Emma Woodhouse (Gwyneth Paltrow), a young woman who imagines herself an authority on matters of the heart, plays matchmaker for her friends, most notably her friend Harriet (Toni Collette), who Emma links up with the Reverend Elton (Alan Cumming), and her governess, (Greta Scacchi), who she introduces to her future husband, Mr. Weston (James Cosmo). However, Emma is not nearly as good at playing Cupid as she likes to imagine, and she spends so much time trying to solve everyone else's romantic problems that it takes her quite some time to realize that she's fallen in love with Mr. Knightly (Jeremy Northam). Based on the novel by Jane Austen.
