The 1995 film[]
- Thompson's acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, which she also won for Best Adapted Screenplay; rather than give a real speech, she reads to the audience what she imagines Jane Austen might have written in her diary about attending the award ceremony. The speech is viewable on the DVD.
- When Elinor fails to coax Margaret out of hiding, Edward comes in and - guessing that Margaret is an avid reader - starts asking for maps to confirm wildly inaccurate "facts", each inaccuracy funnier than the last. It works in getting Margaret out of hiding to berate them.
- When Willoughby disappears, Marianne throws a fit that Elinor tries to calm with a cup of tea. The scene quickly dissolves into three of the Dashwood women - Marianne (upset over her boyfriend's disappearance), the mother (upset that her daughters can't find happiness), and Margaret (upset that Edward's not coming to court Elinor) - storming off to separate parts of the house to slam doors and cry. Elinor calmly sits down on the stairwell and sips the tea.
- Fanny's reaction to finding out who Lucy wants to marry. Most satisfying.

- Edward's interactions with Margaret, which endears him to Elinor:
|
Edward: She is heading an expedition to China shortly. I am to go as her servant but only on the understanding that I will be very badly treated. |
