Next in the series of period dramas sorted by era, we go back to the Renaissance (1400-1600). These films include the Tudors, especially the renowned reigns of Henry VIII and his daughter Elizabeth, the exploration by Christopher Columbus and of course, the works of Shakespeare! (Although, whether or not Shakespeare is in fact the legitimate author is up for debate in Anonymous, due out this fall.)
