My favorite genre, PERIOD DRAMAS

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love to watch these kind of movies. Here are some suggestions for some great movies to watch.

***** 5 Star Period Dramas*****
These are the very best ones out there!

North and South
(not the Civil War one! It's from a book by Elizabeth Gaskell.)
Here is the last scene for those who have already seen it! Don't watch it if you haven't seen it yet. It will spoil it for you!


Wives and Daughters

Cranford
Here is a trailer for Cranford. Sorry about the spanish subtitles.


Pride and Prejudice 1995

Pride and Prejudice 2005 (I am in the group that likes the 1995 version better because it sticks more closely to the book.)
Here is a scene from Pride and Prejudice 2005.

Sense and Sensibility (the Emma Thompson version)

Emma (the Gwyneth Paltrow version)

Mansfield Park (the itv version- will be seen on Masterpiece Theatre later this year! Do not confuse it with the one that came out in the US a few years back. That was YUCKY!)

Persuasion (any version)

Northanger Abbey (the one coming out on Masterpiece Theatre later on this year is adorable. One or two little questionable spots but still great!)

Here is an adorable music video about Northanger Abbey, particularly JJ Feild, that plays Henry Tilney, from ehrynL85 from youtube.

Nicholas Nickleby 2002 (2001 version is okay too.)

Jane Eyre 1983 (It's a bit cheesy but it is still the best one out there. I had never seen Timothy Dalton in anything before but he is very good in this.Avoid the 1996 version at all costs!)
