Here are the three movies/TV shows summarized in my own writing style:
**Bridgerton**
The period drama that captured our hearts with its Regency-era romance is back, and this time it's inspired by Cinderella. The show has taken a course correction after its weaker third season, delivering a delightful "Cinderella"-inspired romance between libertine Benedict Bridgerton and mysterious lady Sophie Baek. Though their identities are shrouded in mystery, their chemistry on screen makes the well-worn romance tropes work. With excellent costumes, sets, and streaming availability on Netflix, this is a must-watch.
**Roman Holiday**
This 1953 classic stars Audrey Hepburn as Princess Ann, who yearns to escape her royal duties and experience life beyond the palace. When she meets working journalist Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck), they embark on a whirlwind romance around Rome, replete with Vespa rides and gelato. The movie's sparkling script, paired with Peck and Hepburn's undeniable chemistry, makes for a bittersweet classic that remains timeless. Grab some gelato and watch this romantic gem on Paramount+.
**The Favourite**
This dark comedy is not your typical period piece. It stars Olivia Colman as the needy Queen Anne in a love triangle with two women vying for her favor β Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone. Director Yorgos Lanthimos brings his signature wicked sense of humor to this story, which has all the makings of a great costume drama. With its sharp wit and complex characters, this is a must-watch on Peacock.
