A young noblewoman marries into one of Britain’s most powerful families and becomes the toast of London in The Duchess, arriving on DVD and Blu-ray fashionably timed for the new year and holiday entertainment on December 28th from Paramount Home Entertainment. Keira Knightley (Atonement, Pride and Prejudice, Pirates of the Caribbean), Ralph Fiennes (In Bruges, the Harry Potter series, The Constant Gardener) and Dominic Cooper (Mamma Mia!) star in the true story of the Duchess of Devonshire and “Empress of Fashion” who must face an agonizing choice between responsibility and love. Captivating audiences and critics alike with its gripping and passionate tale of a young woman and direct ancestor to Princess Diana who became a fashion icon, a devoted mother, a voice for the common man and an unforgettable symbol of glamour for the ages, “The Duchess is feisty, cool, and scandalous” (Richard Schickle, Time). Showcasing rich and in-depth special features, The Duchess will be available for the suggested retail priced of $19.99 U.S./$24.99 Canada on DVD and on Blu-ray for $29.99 U.S./$36.99 Canada.
One of history’s most beguiling leading ladies, Georgiana Spencer (Keira Knightley) was married at 17 to the wealthy and influential William Cavendish (Ralph Fiennes), the fifth Duke of Devonshire — and into a lavish world filled with shocking deceptions, decadent scandals and stifling demands of duty. As Duchess of Devonshire, she first indulged her considerable energy in high society — outshining most of the aristocratic men around her with her incredible wit — only to become one of the most impassioned political voices in all of 18th century Britain. Beloved by a nation but betrayed by her husband, Georgiana’s charisma, political savvy and distinct flair for fashion would make her the “It Girl” of her era… but a chance for personal happiness would remain elusive until she dares to discover love on her own terms.

I love Anne of Green Gables. I haven’t seen The Duchess but I want to.
I’m a subscriber.
I thought of Anne of Green Gables too! As far as movies with royalty, I really enjoyed “The Queen.”
akreese (at) hotmail (dot) com
I stumbled this contest. Username FluteMom.
I love the little house in the prairie show/movies!
Braveheart
But if you want something a little more sophisticated, Elizabeth – The Golden Age
I like Shakespeare in Love and The Other Boleyn Girl. This movie (The Duchess) has great costumes.
Ooh, hard to choose! Atonement was really good (that I saw this year); Marie Antoinette is gorgeous; Braveheart is pretty nice (of course) … that’s what I’m coming up with right now.
ok – I am going out on a limb here and am going to say Dangerous Liaisons – maybe not quite so serious as some as the others – but it has stayed with me through the years!
I’m not sure what my favorite is..I did like the unique take on Marie Antoinette, but I guess I would say something like Anne of Green Gables or Gone with the Wind.
I saw this movie, and it made me cry. Injustice always does that to me. I do cry easily though. I’d love to be entered.
there’s a movie called Dangerous Beauty about an Italian courtesan in the 16th century that I saw a few years ago and have wanted to see again ever since. (of course, GWTW is wonderful, too.)
and here’s my tweet: http://twitter.com/muse2323/status/1087662360
“Pride & Prejudice” … too many versions to pick just one, but you can’t go wrong with Jane Austen.
I also loved “Romeo & Juliet (1968)”
Just subscribed!
Braveheart is wonderful!
Please pick me!!! I already won the book on another site so the movie would be the perfect addition. This isn’t a movie, but it is a series — the HBO John Adams. It was very interesting and the acting was great!
Princess Caraboo – Phoebe Cates, Kevin Kline, John Lithgow, Stephen Rea – it’s very light but quite good
I love historical movies — there are so many to name, but I choose to recommend: Out of Africa — I can watch it over and over! (Also love that Princess Caraboo!) Thanks for the chance and Happy New Year!

Stumbled! AerinRose
Hands down it’s Casablanca! Here’s looking at you kid. Happy New Year!

I loved Elizabeth. I still haven’t seen the sequel yet. Darnit.
Gone With the Wind and Happy New Year!!
Gone With the Wind
A film I just recently saw called Goya’s Ghosts about the painter Francisco Goya. It’s an incredible movie but the part about a young girl being caught up in the Inquisition and what happens to her as a result completely depressed me.

That’s my favorite attraction!

My favorite would be “The Other Boleyn Girl.” It wasn’t as good as the book, but I still enjoyed it.
It is a toss-up between Fiddler on the Roof and 1776–they are both musicals, but put reality into entertainment.
Not sure if this counts but Pirates of the Carribean! all 3 of them.
photoquest(at)bellsouth(dot)net
The Fiddler on the Roof movie was a favorite
Pride & Prejudice
Dances With Wolves was a wonderful historical fiction movie!
My favorite historical fiction movie is Little Women, the 1994 version. The casting is perfect, the script wonderfully written, and the scenery is to die for. I want more than anything to live in the March household!

Gone With the Wind……
Although there are one or six anachronisms in it, my favourite historical film has got to be “The Lion in Winter” (the original with O’Toole & Hepburn). It is so brilliantly witty and the acting is top notch!
The A&E/ BBC version of Pride and prejudice. Also loved the whole Anne of Green Gables series
Does “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” count.
what a nice movie
Too many to choose. Maybe The Mission or going way back. The Seventh Seal.
I loved Anne of Green Gables! Thank you for your giveaways!
I enjoyed Shakespeare in Love, The Mission, The Princess Bride (which probably only about half counts, but is still a great, fun movie).
I would love to win this movie
Titanic is my favorite.
The Patriot
My favorite historical movie is “Anne of a Thousand Days”, about King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.
Braveheart or The Patriot
Shakespeare in Love was a good movie
Vanity Fair with Reese Witherspoon.
Warm Springs.
Gone with the Wind, the Civil War was real, but I like the love story.
Watch Goya’s Ghosts. It’s a wonderful film about Spain during the time of the Inquisition.

Anything with a love story, Pride and Prejudice, Gone with the Wind, North and South, Wives and Daughters..
My all time favorite is…Dances with Wolves
I saw this picture in theaters when it was released and you could hear a pin drop as people where getting up from their seats after it was over. I know it left me feeling ashamed of what we had done to the native indians in order to populate the land. I had to explain to my sons that the white man hasn’t always done the right thing when he has encountered a people different from themselves.
pride and prejudice
Gone With the Wind
North and South the TV mini series–love it!!

Atonement was an amazing historical fiction movie. The cinematography was breathtaking. Thank you for the chance to win.
While I enjoyed Keira’s Pride and Prejudice film, I think the best version is the BBC miniseries of P&P from 1996. Colin Firth played Mr. Darcy. Yum!

The Other Boleyn Girl and Anne of Green Gables is my favorite, thanks for the giveaway
I would have to say Braveheart. Thank you for the give-a-way.
I am much more a historical fiction reader than movie-goer… but I would definitely recommend The Other Boleyn Girl (thinking recently here) as others have said. It is also a book by Philippa Gregory which I’m sure you’re aware of. I like Philippa Gregory’s writing style too. Alison Weir is an excellent historical fiction writer too.
I really enjoyed The Dutchess and I’m contemplating reading the book now. Kiera Knightly normally gets on my nerves quite a bit, but this role suited her. You don’t need to enter me… but I felt compelled to leave a comment!
Elizabeth….I love movies about Queen Elizabeth.
The Other Boleyn Girl.
Most definitely Sense and Sensibility.

Anne of Green Gables is the best.

It’s an “oldie,” but a favorite: Anne of the Thousand Days with Richard Burton as Henry VIII, and Genevieve Bujold as Anne Boleyn. Katherine of Aragon (Irene Papas), fails to deliver a male heir, and Henry is ready to move on the young and beautiful Anne.
I also loved Mrs. Brown with Dame Judi Dench.
Titanic is always a good one. lol. Thanks for the giveaway.
By the way I’m already subscribed to you.
Has to be Braveheart!
The Other Boleyn Girl.

Titanic
Quest for Fire was interesting.
I liked The Other Boleyn Girl.
Tough question! I’d have to say Pride and Prejudice.

Braveheart
SUBSCRIBED by email
Nostradamus-wish they would do more movies about plagues…

I love Marie Antoinette. Thanks!
I like Plunkett and Macleane but it wasn’t based on actual historical events . It was a lot of fun though.
I love Elizabeth: The Golden Age. She was such an amazing and fascinating woman!
I’d pick “Legends of the Fall” if that counts and in close second “The Piano.”
Pride & Prejudice is my favorite.
The Man In The Iron Mask.
i’d really love this dvd!
Master and Commander — a fine but under-rated movie starring Russell Crow
My all time favorite is Dangerous Liaisons. What a fantastic movie. I have been dying to see The Duchess as well it never made it to my small town theater.
Anne of Green Gables. I haven’t seen The Duchess but I want to.
I’d have to say historical fiction is my favorite book genre. Two of my favorites are definitely “Gone with the Wind” and “Last of the Mohicans” (that is actually one of my husband’s favorites as well. Probably one of the few movies we both love the same.
I love the Pride and Prejudice version with Keira Knightly. it makes me want to see The Duchess.
I gotta say King Arthur, though Pride and Prejudice is a close second.
My favorite historical fiction movies are: “Gone With the Wind,” “Titanic,” “Adventures of Robin Hood” (Errol Flynn), “The Lion in Winter” (P. O’Toole), and “Shakespeare in Love”.
I loved Tess (although is was extremely long.)
rsgrandinetti@yahoo.com
I like the Marie Antoinette film with Kirsten Dunst, but I can’t remember the name right now!
Gone With The Wind is my all-time favorite, but I also enjoyed The Other Boleyn Girl, North and South, The Blue and the Gray and The Winds of War.
Hands down it would be Vincent & Theo : a 1990 biographical drama is an exploration of the relationship between Vincent van Gogh and his art dealer brother, Theo.
It was a 4 hour mini series they cut down to a 2 hour movie.
I love the longer version.
It is such an interesting combination of genus, master artist Verses his own mental illness.
Brilliant & spellbinding!
Van Gogh battled his need for self mulation & his insanity all the while creating art as if God himself moved his hands.
The relationship with his brother is explored along with the society norms of that time.

It’s kind of a toss-up between Gone with the Wind and Henry V (Ken Branagh’s version). Both are really great epic films. I’d love to see The Duchess — it sounds like a fascinating story.

the other boleyn girl was really good! i found Amazing Grace amusing (just because it was done so badly)
I recently saw that HBO miniseries “John Adams” and it totally blew me away!! It seemed so authentic, like a porthole to look back in time.
Ghandi blew me away.
Oh, wait, you wanted historical FICTION. (Ghandi doesn’t qualify.) In that case, Gone with the Wind.

Pride and Prejudice – the Colin Firth version!
I have not seen this movie, but I like Little House on the Prarie.
I love Gone With the Wind, classic!
I haven’t seen The Duchess yet but can’t wait to see it. My favorite historical fiction movie would have to be Dangerous Liaisons with Glenn Close. Coming in a close second would be Restoration with Robert Downey Jr. Both of these very good movies. Check them out
My favorite historical fiction film is The Patriot.
Thanks so much for the giveaway!
