Need LOL Film Recommendations

[tyellas]

My LOL, in her new state of increased sedentariness, has become a film buff.

My loan of Cold Comfort Farm last week was such a success that she asked me to choose another film for her. I Capture The Castle is this week's selection.

Except that I am coming to the end of my shallow film knowledge and I need recommendations!

She's already seen most Jane Austen films, Annie Get Your Gun, etc. And Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day. She likes gentle period romances/dramas, especially British-flavored (excuse me, flavOURed) ones. Things with wide-eyed child protagonists would also be good. No subtitles, because she can't read them with her old-eyes vision on her small TV; no animation (a pity when I think of Studio Ghibli, but I did ask). I may try her on E.T., come to think of it.

I loved Mrs. Henderson Presents -- Judi Dench, WWII era London.

From imdb:

Laura Henderson buys an old London theater and opens it up as the Windmill, a performance hall which goes down in history for, among other things, its all-nude revues.

But of course! The lingerie scenes in "Cold Comfort Farm" and "Miss Pettigrew" didn't freak her out, so...
