LOVE LOVE LOVE Jane Austen.
Re: film/TV versions, I thought the Keira Knightly version one was OK, but by far the BEST in my opinion is the 6 hour long BBC version with Jennifer Ehle and an incredibly hot looking Colin Firth. Get it on Netflix if you can - it is to DIE for.
P & P is definitely my favorite Austen to read - I read it every couple of years. It can take a little while to get used to her style, but once you get used to the eighteenth century turn of phrase you're golden. I actually selected P & P for my book group recently, and there were a couple of people who had never read it before. They both agreed that it was a little difficult at first, but in the end they LOVED it and were glad they got a chance to read it. I also like Sense and Sensibility. I don't love Emma, but that's just me.
