List of the Best .

Okay, well I have a lot of favorite movies, but what I really like are British period dramas. I was going to write a list out by hand  for a couple people, but instead I think that this will be way easier. They are relatively long movies, averaging about 4 hours. But they aren't actually movies, they are mini-series.  I am going to rate them by which I think the general public would enjoy the most, since people who aren't used to these kind of movies will find them harder to understand, and more difficult to enjoy. They become much more enjoyable once you understand the classes and ettiquette of the day. I will also mark my favorites and also there are little notes below the chart about a few of the movies. So this is how it'll go:
Pink = Easy to Watch and Understand.
Blue = A little bit more difficult to understand.
Green = You probably won't like this until you've watched some Blues and Pinks.
I love them all, but My Absolute Favorites = Highlighted
Friendly Warning= Purple Highlight  (explanation underneath chart)

PURPLE HIGHLIGHT EXPLANATIONS:

-Becoming Jane- has a nude scene in it so you can borrow an edited version (like mine!)  if you wish
-Sense and Sensibility (2008) - the first scene should probably be skipped, but there is nothing else in it besides the very first scene .
-The Tenant of Wildfell Hall - it is really depressing, the main character is abused by her husband
- If you want more info on these things, you can go to imdb.com and open the movie pages and view the parents guide at the bottom of the page. -
