I want to see a british film with unknown actors that takes place in the proper time period - with the kind of budget that would do it justice.

Wow, Spielberg really turned it up side down then. I guess when we read a book and then see the movie we tend to get disappointed. The one time that didn't happen to me (that I can remember) was with Lord of the Flies. I enjoyed both book and movie.
