I love Pride & Prejudice (2005) so much because Matthew Macfadyen did the most of any adaptation's Mr. Darcy to subtly convey the character's inner turmoil and emotion throughout the entire movie.
You can see him internally screaming at himself for being so awkward around Elizabeth, or for going too far when he lashes out/speaks too frankly. You can see his longing to be with Elizabeth and his adoration for her every time she challenges him or speaks her mind freely, and the pain in his eyes is so plain to see when he catches himself pining for her only to remember loving her goes against everything set out for him and he shouldn't.
Macfadyen's Darcy tells everything he cannot manage to put into words just through choice glances, and as a viewer, I love it with my whole heart for how it helps us connect to such a misunderstood character from the very beginning.

One of my absolute favourite things about P&P 2005 is that during the first proposal, the moment when Mr Darcy gets irate is when Elizabeth mentions Mr Wickham. Up until then, he kept his distance, was relatively cool, calm, and colected while she absolutely trashed him.
Elizabeth: You are the worst person ever. You hurt my sister, you hurt your friend, you insulted me.
Mr Darcy: I have my reasons.
Elizabeth: Not to mention what you did to Wickham...
Mr "Insult me, insult my behaviour, loathe me, all is fine, just don't breathe the same air as Wickham or I'll lose my breeches" Darcy (in a jealous fit): Mr Wickham? Wickham? WICKHAM?!

Darcy during his first proposal: Miss Elizabeth Bennet, you should be honored that you won the race you weren't even taking part in. I want to marry you.
Lizzy: Mr. Darcy, if you are the trophy at the end of the race, I would run backwards. Thank you.
