There are many reasons to be a fan of 2005's Pride & Prejudice, from the performances from Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, to the love story written by Jane Austen, to the gorgeous shots of the English countryside and the 18th century costumes. And while it's certainly a re-watchable movie, if you love Pride & Prejudice but want to try out something different, there a lot of movies that should satisfy what you're looking for.

First of all, Austen's work has been adapted a lot. Multiple film versions have been made of many of her novels, so that's one place to start. On top of that, if you're into the period piece aspect of Pride & Prejudice, there are countless movies set around the same time, including other films from the movie's director Joe Wright.

So, if you're looking to expand your horizons when it comes to love stories about people in olden times, here ya go!
