..."Great Expectations"...); Lynch´s "The Elephant Man"; Hirschbiegel´s "The Downfall" (with a memorable goof: the corpses of Hitler and Eva Braun move their feet a bit, just to fit in the hole they are in...); Kawalerowicz´s "Faraon" (still the best rendering of life in Egypt in the days of their splendor); Spielberg´s "Schindler´s List"; a few of James Ivory´s ("A Room with a View", "The Remains of the Day", "Maurice",...); Scorsese´s "The Age of Innocence"..., and, as something very special in what "being there" means, Tod Browning´s "Freaks", one of the most tender films ever made...There are many more, but these came to my mind first, after reading your, and rico's list.

Follow Ups:
orejones,A very good list.
And how could we leave out Merchant/Ivory movies- which I think must all be all period settings.
A couple more that your list made me think of:
"Ghandi"
"Lawrence of Arabia"
"Death in Venice" -Visconti
"The Taming of the Shrew"- for a filmed Shakespeare play very real
"Treasure of the Sierra Madre"
"Shackleton"- Branaugh's best work too!
"Alien" - good hardware design!
"Master and Commander"- a friend who is a Patrick O'Brien cultist hated this amalgam of three novels as a sin of disrespect to literature, but the depiction of early 19th C. shipboard life in "M&C" is admirable- and I ducked in my seat when the splinters from cannon impact were flying!
"I Claudius"
"Capote"- the period atmosphere is not made a big feature- but seems natural and real.I shall have to look around for Kawalerowicz´s "Faraon" which I'd not heard of.
It been a long while since I saw Browning's "Freaks" but that is a powerful movie and would add another "trials of the different" movie that really impressed me, "The Station Master"- piles of obvious subtlety.
The one I'm waiting for now is the upcoming "Crwyth Lwhyth" (Barry Sonnenfeld) the tender story of the guy (Mel Gibson) that sold the stones to the builders of Stonehenge at extremely high interest rates, taunts them about their Sun/Moon religion and ends up in the foundations under a 40 ton rock.
Cheers,Bambi B
