Merchant Ivory Type of Films

I'm a huge Merchant Ivory Productions fan. However, I have noticed there are some "Merchant Ivory-esque" films out there than James did not direct. Here is what I have:

The English Patient

Out of Africa

The Madness of King George

Gosford Park

Sunshine

Never Let Me Go

Enchanted April

Dangerous Liaisons

The Portrait of a Lady

The Aspern Papers

Miramax and the entire art/independent movie movement spent much of the late 1980s and 1990s making Merchant Ivory type films.

The Remains of the Day. No idea what it’s about, but I love that title.

The Remains of the Day isn't a Merchant Ivory type film, it's a Merchant Ivory film (a very good one).

All of these pretenders, I'm sorry to say, have a distinct lack of Rupert Graves frontal nudity.
