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.

If she likes Austen -try the Bronte sisters as well.
Wuthering Heights and the latest Jane Eyre
As for Austen has she seen Northanger Abbey and persuasion as well? Many people only see the top three.
You could try something Shakepeare on her the romantic comedies
Also check out the BBC shop for ideas. Period Drama is their forte and a lot will be carried in libraries. http://tinyurl.com/6e53zjx

On a different note: Beaches with Bette Midler is one of my all time favs.
