The Importance of Being Earnest was done in 2002 with Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Reese Witherspoon, and Judi Dench. I enjoyed it and found Dench to be a great Bracknell.

Everett also did An Ideal Husband in 1999 with Minnie Driver, Cate Blanchett, and Julianne Moore.

It seems like there were lots of rising Hollywood A listers doing British costume dramas in the late 90's and early 00's!

Both of them adapted and directed--delightfully--by Oliver Parker.

Parker also directed an adaptation of Dorian Gray, but I haven't seen it.

Seth, who should dig those up
