Frankie & Jonny ( Michelle Pfeiffer, Al Pacino)
The Railway Children (Jenny Agutter)
The Wicked Lady ( Margaret Lockwood, James Mason)

Agree with many of the previous recommendations too, going to check out About Time that look great.

Loved the Wicked Lady, it was my favourite film years ago, I could quote it, I must get a copy again.
