So after the longest time living in lurkdom, this video is pulling me right out. I love this so hard lol

Does anyone know all the movies used? I can pick out Ever After and P&P both versions, but I cant figure out the rest.

Does anyone know all the movies used?

There’s also Emma, North & South (Elizabeth Gaskell. It’s a BBC miniseries. It’s the one where Richard Armitage hands the woman a yellow flower), Under the Greenwood Tree (a slightly racy mini based on a Thomas Hardy novel IIRC), the newest Jane Eyre with Toby Stephens, Sense and Sensibility, Little Women (Winona Ryder and Gabriel Byrne), Phantom of the Opera.

Those are most of them. I can’t figure out the Sophia Myles one and a few others.

The Sophia Myles one was The Abduction Club. (Mmm, Matthew Rhys). I thought I saw a flash of Keeley Hawes in there, so presumably also Our Mutual Friend?

There were a couple of the new, completely adorable Northanger Abbey adaptation - and maybe Persuasion too.

The Keeley Hawes was actually Under the Greenwood Tree. Although I wouldn’t say there weren’t two different Keeley Hawes movies in there. I just know that one was Under the Greenwood Tree.

Oh, that was so uplifting and sweet! All that soft backlighting and tall grass had me tingling.
Heh, the verification word is England77.

many thanks

Thanks for clearing that up, LizC. I didn’t think that was Paul McGann, but it’s been forever since I watch OMF and he did have some pretty weird hair in that movie.

And the wiping smudges off girls’ faces guy is Mr. Tilney (J. J. Field) in Northanger Abbey. Seriously, it’s an adorable adaptation and I really recommend it.

God, this has reminded me how much I lovelovelove that kissing in the grass scene in the new Jane Eyre. Oh, Toby Stephens! Even if you’re a communist and disfigured by fire and an adulterer and a Bond villain...I still love you unreasonably.

Le sigh… Thanks for sharing this.  Definitely makes for a happy start to the day.  I thinking I’ll be watching/rewatching some movies in the not-so-distant future.

Oh I DID love this!!  It put a happy *sigh* smile on my face on a day when I didn’t want to go to work.  I love period movies too and while I was watching I was hoping we could get a list of the movies.  I recognized some but not all.

That was a wonderful way to start my morning.  It reminded me of my little collection of videos of people kissing, but they’re all boys kissing boys.  I’m linking to my blog rather than to the YouTube links because apparently, they’ve been marked as potentially objectionable and you have to sign-on to YouTube to see them that way.  But they show up in my blog.  Enjoy!

That right that is pure PMS-be-gone.  It could be marketed for medicinal purposes.  Side effect include a big, dopey grin for the remainder of the day.

I saw Billie Piper in one of them.  She was in Mansfied Park.

I sent it to all my friends.  So adorable.  And you guys continue to rock hard for naming most (all?) of the movies.  Thank you!

I feel embarrassed, though - I’ve seen Ever After but didn’t notice any scenes from it.

I’m with lovelysalome, I’m such a girl.  That version of Over the Rainbow, just makes you smile.

And I’ve watched dang near every movie on that video at least once.  Now that A&E is showing Dog the Bounty Hunter and the show that features Gene Simmons all the time, they never reshow any of those wonderful period films they used to show.  *sob* Why can’t we get a period movie channel?  I’d sign up.
