Not based on any book, but aspects of it are taken from Pride and Prejudice

Actually, the film is based on the book of the same name by Helen Fielding, which does contain echoes of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, for example the fact that the hero has the surname Darcy.

How many Jane Austin movies were made?

I am listing all those I know of and have seen. Movie versions (total of 6) of Jane Austen novels are as follows:Northanger Abbey - none that I know ofSense and Sensibility - 1995Pride and Prejudice -1940 and 2005Emma - two different versions in 1995Mansfield Park - 1999Persuasion - 1996The versions (total of 12) made for TV include:Northanger Abbey - 1986 and 2007Sense and Sensibility - 1981 and 2008Pride and Prejudice - 1980 and 1995Emma - 1972 and 2009Mansfield Park - 1983 and 2007Persuasion - 1971 and 2007There are many other adaptations, such as the a Pride and Prejudice, a Latter Day Comedy, set in a Mormon University (though I have never seen this), the Bollywood version called Bride and Prejudice, Bride and Prejudice and Zombies (which I have also not seen), and the admittedly derivative Bridget Jones's Diary. And that is just dealing with Pride and Prejudice, there are others for the other novels. The question, of course, is what to count, and I have simplified things by sticking to the question as meaning just movies based directly on the novels.In addition, there have been movies, such as Becoming Jane, based on Jane Austen's life, and movies in which her work is very important, notably the Jane Austen Book Club.
