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.

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.
