    Historically accurate movies about the early 20th century aristocracy?
    I'm putting this in History as the most important part of it is the historical accuracy... :)

    I'm looking for films that portray the British aristocracy of the early 20th Century - films similar to Gosford Park, Atonement, Bright Young Things etc. Ideally the films would include interaction with servants/maids/butlers because my main interest is how the Stately Home functioned between 1910 - 1940 but it's not imperative, I just need to immerse myself in the culture for a bit as research.

    Any suggestions would be gratefully received! :cool:

    Honestly, the Agatha Christie mysteries (on Netflix or for sale) would be very beneficial if you want to "immerse yourself in the culture."

    Particular movies aren't coming to my head right now, but the AC mystery movies will work.
