12 Favorite Period Films

10. "Sense and Sensibility"

Jane Austen's work returns to the screen yet again with "Sense and Sensibility," her second most adapted novel. The story that follows the Dashwood sisters of southwest England in the late 18th century has been adapted for BBC television series and most notably by Ang Lee in his 1995 film of the same name. The adaptation starred Emma Thompson, who also wrote the screenplay, alongside Hugh Grant, Kate Winselt, and Alan Rickman. There's nothing like a good ol' period drama with a great British cast.
