Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Ghoulumbe Better than most people think

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

kassidyrain I simply love this movie. I first saw it with my mother when I was about 8 or 9, and we both fell in love. Kevin Sullivan takes such care into recreating Avonlea. He's created a whole majestic universe, and you feel like you are a member. When a character has done something good and people in the movie applaud, you feel like applauding with them. I have resisted many times the urge to cry, laugh, and cheer while watching this movie. The actors are fantastic. Megan Follows is brilliant, and she really embodies what Anne is all about. Jonathan Crombie as Gilbert is also amazing. I can watch this movie over and over again. I also like that it stays very true to the novel, with little differences here and there to make it more dramatic and make it flow easily, but it doesn't feel butchered. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone.

ricki520 I first saw the Anne of Green Gables mini-series on PBS and immediately fell in love with the characters, the scenery and the music. I never tire of this movie. I think I've probably seen it 50 times. Megan Follows really captures the spirit of that irrepressible young orphan Anne Shirley. Colleen Dewhurst and Richard Farnsworth really give stellar performances as well. Richard Farnsworth plays the character Matthew Cuthbert and that character was part of the reason I ended up naming my firstborn son Matthew. I can't think of a better movie to share with your family. This movie was beautifully written and filmed and I highly recommend it!

phylliswin Anne of Green Gables is a movie that holds a special place in my heart. I first saw this with my mother years ago, and it quickly became our favorite movie. We must have watched it every time we were together. And no matter how many times we watched it, every viewing always seemed like the first time all over again. We laughed and cried at all the same places, and couldn't wait until the day when Gilbert and Anne would finally be together. My mother developed cancer and suffered for two years. This movie was a wonderful escape for her and myself. I lost her 4 months ago, and at first I thought I would never be able to watch this movie ever again, but I was wrong. It only means that much more to me now. For now it holds even more wonderful memories. This is a movie that is meant to be shared with someone special. Just as I did.

artistathome I believe the Megan Follows production is surely the best of all the versions that have been produced... I saw the 1934 version with Tom Brown (wonderful actor) on TCM this morning. It was OK, but many things had been changed for some inexplicable reason!However, the production with Megan Follows and Colleen Dewhurst does not suffer when brought to the screen. Being a mini-series it takes its time to show us the characters and all their quirks. In my opinion, no production can compare to the Megan Follows version. It's simply brilliant. All the actors embodied their roles to perfection.I watched it over a Saturday and Sunday, 6 years ago, as there were at least 2 tapes and maybe more. Later on, I tried to read the books but after seeing Megan Follows, I just couldn't. Perhaps I am too old now...after all, they are children's books with all the fantasies woven in that children have.I recommend this production to everyone--this movie will blow your socks off. Megan with her flaming and flowing hair is such a perfect Anne. I cannot explain how wonderful the actors are playing Marilla and Matthew. You just have to see it yourself.
