Check out The Prestige or The Illusionist.

From Hell is a good one, but only if you can tolerate graphic violence. If not... don't bother.

 

[whats a book?]

if you want to see some shit about france in the 18th and 19th century, watch master and commander. it's decent

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but there's always Hero and House of Flying Daggers by Zhang Yimou.

Just a few off the top of my head, a wide stretch of time before some of them.
-The Grapes of Wrath
-Born on the Fourth of July
-Wall Street

It would help to know what time period. Everything is in a time period, isn't it?

Land Before Time (prehistoric)
Ben Hur (ancient Rome)
The Little Foxes (Victorian)

Pick a time period . . .

There are so many...

- Tuck Everlasting
- Fried Green Tomatoes (sort of)
- Tom And Huck
- A River Runs Through It
- Titanic

etc...

I'll second Master and Commander - that's a great film.

But the first movie that popped into my mind was A Room with a View. However, that's pretty strictly romance, so it's probably not what you're looking for. Good flick though.
