Hi,
I’m looking for good period films like Little Women, Sense and Sensibility, but avoiding French films. I prefer the atmosphere of American or English movies, if possible, set between the 1800s and 1900s. Can you help me?!

The BBC films of Jane Austen are great!
Victoria, the young years of a queen, Much Ado About Nothing, Cold Mountain, Gone with the Wind, The Count of Monte Cristo, Gigi, Australia, Giant, Pearl Harbor...
More period pieces: Lancelot, King Arthur, Marie Antoinette, The Duchess, Two Sisters for a King, Elizabeth 1 and 2...
There are many!
Ever After (Cinderella) and Pride and Prejudice (with Keira Knightley) are my two favorite films!

Look, "Pride and Prejudice" and "Moulin Rouge" are the only ones I know, and I also love period films, but there aren't many, at least to my knowledge!!
Oh yes, there's also "Tristan and Isolde" and "Shakespeare in Love."
Oh yes, there's also "Tristan and Isolde" and "Shakespeare in Love."
I loved "Amour interdit" (The Sleeping Dictionary) with Jessica Alba; the story takes place in 1936 during the colonial period. It's a very moving and, of course, romantic story, but I find it has a very good content, and I have some great memories of it.

Oh yes! Firelight with Sophie Marceau... English or American film, I’m not sure, but really very beautiful.
