Jane Austen Books and movies which are similar to Jane Austen's novels

I love to see how some authors and scriptwriters use Jane Austen's ideas for their movies and books.
It proves that Jane Austen is important and that she still alive.
Please, add here some names of movies and books that are similar to Jane Austen's novels at least a little.
OR some characters who are similar to Austen's heroes and heroines.

Clueless is VERY similar to Emma
Bridget Jones's Diary reminds me of Pride and Prejudice
I agree with ppv about You've Got Mail, and of COURSE I agree with her about Beauty and the Beast! We've had multiple comments about that!!

Don't you think THE Wedding Planner is a little similar to Edward and Elinor's relationship!?
