Wondering about our heroine’s brother? This film will fill you in. Based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s clever character and starring Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock and Jude Law as Watson, Sherlock Holmes follows the duo as they solve mysteries in late-19 century London. It’s a bit grittier than Enola Holmes but definitely worth the watch for more Sherlock.

Some of the best parts of the Enola Holmes films are the wit and humor and this film has all of that, along with mystery. This reboot of the popular franchise follows inspector Jacques Clouseau (Steve Martin) as he attempts to solve a murder and theft case. Though it’s not British, look out for fun French accents that go way over the top (or “on top”; yes Beyoncé is in this).

Looking for more adventure within the 19 century? The Mask of Zorro tells the story of crusader Zorro (Antonio Banderas) who helps to assist Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins) attempt to find his daughter and avenge his wife’s death. There’s romance in this for fans of the Enola – Tewkesbury side plot and there’s also sword fighting, so you get a lot when you choose to watch this.

Continuing with the jousting period pieces, A Knight’s Tale has it all: wit, ambition, and the theme of a hero attempting to prove themself. It also stars the late great Heath Ledger, along with Paul Bettany and Alan Tudyk. Stay for the action sequences, but leave with the killer soundtrack.

If you liked the themes of friendship and girl power within Enola Holmes, you’ll love Ivy + Bean, about an unlikely pairing between two girls and the magic that unites them (there’s also the theme of running away, a common occurrence in Enola Holmes). Plus, if you like this, there are sequels already available to stream that the whole family will love.

In continuing with films about friendship, mystery, and female heroines, this animated film is a perfect one to watch. Directed by Henry Selick and Jordan Peele, Wendell & Wild tells the story of Kat, a teenager still reeling from the death of her parents in a fatal accident. When she meets two demons who promise to bring her parents back from the dead, she agrees and what results changes her town forever and reveals its many secrets. Of course there is so much more than that (including a brilliant sequence about the school to prison pipeline), so you’ll just have to see for yourself what makes this film so great.

In the final vein of fun yet fictional British period pieces, Pan tells an alternative story of the well-known character Peter Pan. Featuring mystery, wit, and, of course, action sequences, Pan is perfect for the whole family (also you get Hugh Jackman as Captain Hook; what’s not to love about it?).
