Runaway Bride: I remember watching this with a friend in the dorms, sitting on a bed and viewing on a laptop (beds double as couches in the dorms). I think I enjoyed this movie then and I don't really think I've seen it since then. I found I was disenchanted with the movie this time around, it may be somewhat due to my dislike of Richard Gere and my growing apathy towards Julia Roberts but the movie just didn't sit well with me. It did have a good soundtrack though.
Jane Eyre: This is the mini series made around 2006. I like this pretty well, certainly better than the version made in the 70s that I got from the library by mistake. I was surprised though at the ways the show departed from the plot of the book, creating more drama and sex. There is no actual sex portrayed in the movie but I was disappointed that they changed a scene that was so important in the book, in the book something happens to disrupt a wedding and the girl refused to just remain on as a mistress. It's a hard thing for her to do but she stands firm to what she knows, in this version she's making out on a bed with him while she's telling him this, I find that problematic. Over all I liked this version but still prefer the movie made in 2011.
