Oh, and the lists are in no particular order. Because I like to be random. And the Movies I Have Seen list mostly consists of movies I really like. Why focus on the ones I didn't like?

"Under the Greenwood Tree" was a delightful, fun, sweet period piece, and I would also highly recommend "The Way We Live Now." =)
By the way, I am so glad I found your blog!
If you like Mr.Darcy and Richard E Grant as the Pimpernel, you most certainly would like Horatio Hornblower, and Sean Bean in Sharpe. Both great series in the very early 1800's. The Hornblower series goes on sale usually twice a year on Amazon and is quite reasonable at 35 dollars or so for the 8 episode series.
Watch " The Painted Veil" (2006) starring Edwart Norton and Naomi Watts it's amazing!
I love the period dramas here are shows I would recommend.
Downton Abbey
The Paradise(2012)
Upstairs,Downstairs
The Buccaneers
Lark Rise to Candleford
I absolutely second Horatio Hornblower and Sharpe! I'm working my way through both series at the moment. While both have their merits I personally prefer Hornblower. I would also recommend Far From the Madding Crowd (1998)and The Mayor of Casterbridge (2003).
