Edwardian Period Films (1901-1914)

Watching Downton Abbey has increased my fascination for this time period and had me thinking about other costume dramas that have been set in Edwardian times.

King Edward VII
's reign (1901-1910) was short in comparison to the 63 year reign of his mother Queen Victoria. While she was known for her strict standards of morality, Edward was associated with La Belle Epoque, an epoch of beautiful clothes and the peak of luxury living for a select few. These years of easy living would change drastically with the onset of World War I in 1914. [fashion-era] The Edwardian era is usually defined beyond Edward's death and can include the years 1901 -1914.

Which of these films have you seen? Any favourites?
