In reply to Sharon D. We will definitely consider adding it in a future update. We've included the movie in other lists. :)

In reply to Sharon D. Interesting! I haven't heard of this show. I'll consider it in the future. Thanks for the recommendation. :)

Please also add the 1986/87 adaptation of “A Little Princess” starring Amelia Shankley as “Sarah Crewe.” It is (in my opinion) the most faithful adaptation of the book. There is a DVD version as well as a VHS one. Both apparently have some scenes cut, but viewers can watch an amalgamated compilation on YT. I love it and watch it at least once a month!

Would like to request that you add “The Campbells” to your list. It’s the story of a widower Scottish doctor who leaves Scotland for Canada with his two sons and daughter in the 1830s. A Scottish-Canadian series (1986-1990) — it ran for 4 seasons. Cedric Smith, who you may recognize from his roles as “Reverend Allen” in the 1985 adaptation of “Anne of Green Gables” and as “Alec King” in the series “Road To Avonlea,” portrays “Captain Sims.” Although available on DVD, the box set I purchased has serious playback issues which may or may not have been resolved.

In reply to Missy. The Buccaneers is a good recommendation! There are just so many good ones to choose from. :)

Great list including one for my favourites – Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken!

However, The Buccaneers (1995) about four American women travelling to Victorian London to secure aristocratic husbands should definitely be on this list. The cast is all excellent and the settings are sumptuous. An underrated delight.

First of all, thanks so much for creating this list – I’m bookmarking it 🙂

The best adaptation of Anne of Green Gables I’ve ever seen has to be the 1979 Anime, Akage No Ann. You can view the entire series with English subtitles here:

It is WONDERFUL. It is exactly like the book (so much so, that many of the episodes are named after the book chapters). Even if you are not into anime, I guarantee you will love it – the animation and music are beautiful, and the voice actors are just fantastic. I like this even better than the Sullivan productions (yes, it’s that good). I can’t recommend this enough.
