Milla's Movie Marathon #1: Romantic Period Dramas

Welcome to the first Milla's Movie Marathon! A while back, I watched and read Pride and Prejudice, and I just fell in love that story! Well, anyway, I love the movie so much that I just had to find more movies like it, hence my going on a movie marathon. By the way, don't let the word "marathon" fool you. I didn't actually watch all these movies in one day or in consecutive hours as the word suggests, but rather I watched them over a span of several days. Nonetheless, I'm still going to call it a movie marathon. First, I listed the movies in the order I watched them. Then, I ranked them at the end in comparison to each other. Well, I hope you consider watching some of these movies. I especially love the period drama aspect to all of them. It's like experiencing a new world!

P.S. Some may argue that The Notebook (2004) is not a romantic period drama, but I included it in this movie marathon anyway because technically it is a period drama since most of it does take place in the 1940s. The same thing goes for Never Let Me Go (2010)—it's not really a period drama, but it takes place in the 1900s, so it kind of counts!
