2019 edit: I've added a few titles I had forgotten in 2016, though the short reviews aren't very good... I'm thinking of rereading Austen soon so I'll probably update this list properly.
P.S. I'm looking forward to Sandition as I'm not a prude and other works have done more offense to Austen's words >_>
The list is ordered by year for easy reference, and includes various notes. I've also included foreign period pieces, including Hindi films, Korean dramas, and Japanese anime. Anyone is welcome to recommend a title or ask questions.
Note: I've included my opinions and ranked them according to my favorites. The ones toward the bottom are ones I can't find, so I've only described what I know about them.

An American Girl Story: Melody 1963 - Love Has to Win (2016)
Unfaithful to book
I was very disappointed by this movie. I've seen the other American Girl movies so I wasn't expecting it to completely faithful to the book. However, this film barely resembles the books besides having a main named Melody.
First, the movie eliminates her siblings, father, friends, and grandmother, all important characters. Second, Melody's family is poor instead of lower middle class. Third, her personality is completely changed. Melody wants to be a astronaut and enjoys drawing in the film, while she is a singer and loves to garden in the books. Third, Melody goes to an all-white school. Why? Just to inject a litttle more racism, I guess.
This film really missed the mark in its attempt to be a social justice warrior. It could've been so much more if it told Melody's story.
