If you loved Great Expectations, try Love in the Time of Cholera
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Mike Newell, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Great Expectations, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Love in the Time of Cholera is
A 19th-century romance begins when a man survives a fall only to insist he’s been devoted to his wife for decades. Back in youth, a lovesick telegraph worker pursues a merchant’s daughter who gradually cools on the idea. The film settles for pretty scenery and a parade of starched collars instead of actual chemistry.
