The Lady Mercedes

So I'm looking for ren themed movies to get my faire fix-specifically during the Elizabethan era but anything from the reign of Henry VIII, Edward VI or Mary I would be ok too. List any you can think of &/or your faves. Thanks in advance! :) Oh I already have the Elizabeth movies starring Cate Blanchett & Helen Mirren as well as Shakespere In Love so any others besides those I guess...
Why be mundane when you can be a Rennie?!

Ever After takes place in the french court. It's my absolute favorite.
There is also The Other Boleyn Girl which is based on Phillipa Gregory's novel (good book)

just google renaissance movies and you will find a bunch of hits.

as for 'period' films, and a costuming fix try

The Duchess (Kiera Knightley did well in this and i love the costuming)
Pride and Prejudice (anything Jane Austen really)
Tristan and Isolde (i cry every time lol)
Restoration (Robert Downey Jr did a pretty good job in this and the costuming is fun)
The Libertine (Johnny Depp)
Dangerous Beauty (Robin Wright Penn-this is about Venetian courtesans)
Moll Flanders (Robin Wright Penn)
