(2019)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Emma<\/em> was one of the last movies I saw in the theaters before COVID hit. It was so delightful and romantic, and I realized I have truly adored every movie based on Austen&#8217;s novels (so far!). Anya Taylor-Joy was fantastic as Emma, and her chemistry with Johnny Flynn was off the charts. You can read my review for <em>Emma<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/theromcomcatalog.com\/emma-2020\/\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theromcomcatalog.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/123.png\" alt=\"Thursday Movie Picks: Period Dramas\" height=\"675\" width=\"1200\" title=\"Thursday Movie Picks: Period Dramas\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t<h3><strong>Moulin Rouge! (2001)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I know\u00a0<em>Moulin Rouge<\/em> is a musical, but I think it also fits into the period drama category. I adore Baz Luhrmann and his filmmaking style. It&#8217;s always so colorful and vibrant. I loved <em>Moulin Rouge<\/em> when it was released. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman falling in love&#8230; swoon. It&#8217;s a movie I can&#8217;t watch often, mostly because the ending always makes me depressed, but I do listen to the soundtrack quite often (sort of like Luhrmann&#8217;s <em>Romeo and Juliet<\/em>!). I&#8217;ll review this movie for the site someday, but for now, it&#8217;s my third choice for this week&#8217;s TMP.<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theromcomcatalog.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/122.png\" alt=\"Thursday Movie Picks: Period Dramas\" height=\"675\" width=\"1200\" title=\"Thursday Movie Picks: Period Dramas\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t<h3><strong>Titanic (1997)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I am not ashamed to say that I saw this movie more times in the theater than any other movie &#8211; 13 times. 13!! I was 17 when this movie came out, and I just fell in love with it. Now that I&#8217;m older, I don&#8217;t necessarily think Titanic is the masterpiece I believed it was back then, but you have to admit James Cameron did something amazing with this movie. Even now, I think the movie holds up really well, and I just adore watching Kate and Leo together.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday Movie Picks: Period Dramas: Wandering through the Shelves hosts a weekly movie challenge in which you choose 3-5 movies based on that Thursday&#8217;s theme and explain why you chose those movies.
