Pride and Prejudice (2005) is a terrific adaptation of Austen's novel. The film is just over two hours long, with a lot of events from the book compressed (I finished the novel about two weeks ago), but it works really well and doesn't feel rushed.
Airplane!, consistently considered to be one of the greatest comedies of all time, is a really overrated. Though it has a few bright spots, too many of the gags are sophomoric and weak.
Groundhog Day, on the other hand, lives up to its reputation. Very solid movie.
