Giggle...  I do lots of those.  Age has nothing to do with it.  More to do with my never having learned to touch type...

Dr Who: Vampires of Venice.

Just saw this...  I'm not sure I got the jist of the episode because I was using the Pause button too much.  I NEED to get a copy of that!

Himself burned it to DVD, and the Confidential episode to go with it, so I can have LOTS of pix to squee over!

Juana la Loca - Some nice early Spanish clothing, need to rewatch it.

Romeo and Juliet 1968 version

Elizabeth R. 1971

Henry VIII and his Six Wives 1972

The Merchant of Venice 2004

Orlando 1992

Anne of the Thousand Days

A Man for All Seasons

Lady Jane

La Reine Margot - Bit fantasy on the women's stuff, but lovely men's clothing

The Girl with the Pearl Earring

La Conjura Del Escorial

Lady Rebecca

A movie no one has mentioned yet is Stage Beauty, which is a fantastic movie with some beautiful restoration costumes.

I also love the costumes found in Marie Antoinette, The Duchess, The Tudors, Casanova, Elizabeth, Young Victoria, and Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day and Penelope for a bit more modern costumes.

I'm contemplating making one of the costumes from "FLESH & BLOOD", it's based in the plague years and stars Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh.  Costuming tends to be from lower to middle class with some nobility thrown in for good measure.

Bronwyn Blackmantle

Two that haven't been mentioned are "The Princess Bride" and "Ladyhawke." Love the movies, and the costumes weren't bad either.  ;)

Another beautiful movie for killer garb is Stealing Heaven.  I totally forgot about that movie until I was playing a podcast a couple of weeks ago.
Lady Hermina Dolores De Pagan
Captain of the Tres Flores
Sailing with Ye Pyrate Brotherhood

Manwariel

I love the costumes in Prince of Persia (though other parts of the film are sorely lacking). And there's some really nice costuming in Prince Caspian. I think my other favorites have all been mentioned.
