Gosford Park (2001)

[Drunk Monk]

Starring 2 of the dames from last night's DVD http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=5725. This has an actor from every Brit movie or TV show we've watched save Python. It's the mirror universe Downton, clearly where the seeds of Fellowes' concept began to germinate, with Maggie playing essentially the same role, along with one of the snively servants. There were so many actors from other things that we watched that Stacy made a cheat sheet. HP factor 4 - Dumbledore, McGongal, Rowena, Lily...maybe more. It was long tho - the murder in the murder mystery doesn't happen until deep into the film. It's more about the proto-Downton aspect - the relationships between characters and the Upstairs Downstairs quality of it all. 
No sword fights. Only recommended for DOOM Downtoners.
