Keira Knightley is pretty much a staple in period films, so if you want a period piece, find a Knightley movie. Here are some:
SILK – set in the 19th century France
ATONEMENT – set in England in the 19th century.
THE DUCHESS – the story of the Duchess of Devonshire, set in 18th century England
KING ARTHUR – set in 400 AD during the Knights of the Round Table era
Other good classic movies without Knightley:
BECOMING JANE – starring Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy
MARIE ANTOINETTE – Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman
THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK – Leonardo DiCaprio
SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE – Gwyneth Paltrow, Joseph Fiennes
THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO (my personal favorite) – JIM CAVIEZEL, GUY PEARCE
