After watching a certain amount of great movies, I dare to present above an ordered list (which I intend to keep updated) with the finest ones (in my opinion):

1. Pride and Prejudice (1995) – starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth
2. North and South (2004) – starring Daniela Denby-Ashe and Richard Armitage
3. Emma (2009) – starring Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller (astonish interpretation of Mr. Knightley)
4. Sense and Sensibility (2008)
5. Mansfield Park (2007)
(to continue ...)
