6/3, those are excellent choices, Cuaron's rendition of A Little Princess is top notch. I especially enjoy Cross Creek because, although they did change it a bit, it is the true story of author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.
Some turn of the century choices I enjoy:
Places in the Heart - One of my favorite movies, period. Takes place during the Depression. It is a wonderful ensemble piece, fine acting by all, including the kids.
The Prestige - Man vs machine, man's capacity for fooling others as well as himself. There was also The Illusionist, but I preferred The Prestige.
The Age of Innocence - This was written in 1920, but actually the setting is NYC high society during the later 1800's, a story of nonconformity amidst rigid social rules.
The Great Race -
This was one of my favorite movies when I was a little kid. Loosely based on a real 1908 New York to Paris automobile race, it was one of the first "epic" comedies. Jack Lemon plays a great villain.
