The 25 Best Period-Piece Movies of All Time, Ranked by MovieWeb

"A period-piece movie not only reflects on the history of a certain country or society but also emphasizes the issues that way prevalent during that time. Now, some might consider period pieces to be not exactly connective to the present society we live in, but these movies use historical stories to bring out the social issues that still exist. That is why these movies might have a large impact on one. Interestingly, a good period-piece movie is not just about historical accuracy, it is also about the movie's ability to "transport audiences back to a specific time and place". This includes the storyline, the performances by the actors, the setting, the soundtracks, and everything in between. So, it is definitely no easy task to put together a period piece, as it requires much research. Here are the best period-piece movies of all time." - movieweb.com
