Best is the recent "Jane Eyre" adaptation on PBS. 4 hours long. Kind of gothic. Perfect for watching on a rainy day in Summer or Autumn me thinks.

I purchased the dvd at a bookstore.

Here is an excerpt...

Other cultures? Try some Bollywood movies. I recommend Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Kal Ho Naa Ho.

This has to be the weirdest of all Bollywood films...at least to an non-desi-cultured schmoe like me...
