Most of my favorites have already been listed but I must add Lord Jim. Another is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea for VSF.

Well im sorry but my favorites are

The Land That Time Forgot (1975)
At the Earth's Core (1976)
The People That Time Forgot (1977)
Warlords of Atlantis (1978)

they are inspiring, and Peter  Cushing in at the earths core is brilliant.

Ranked from most favourite, going down:

20'000 Leagues (with James Mason as Nemo, the Disney version)
Journey to the Centre of the Earth (with James Mason)
The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes

Following that, I wouldn't want to really rank them; too difficult because I sometimes like others more depending on what mood I'm in. And although it certainly isn't Victorian, but hits that "Costume Adventure" vein, "The Assassination Bureau" because it's such a hoot.

Zulu
Zulu Dawn
The Man Who Would be King
Charge of the Light Brigade
Four Feathers (1939)


Anyone seen Laurel and Hardy in 'Bonnie Scotland'?  some absoultely fabulous military scenes set in the NW Frontier (inter-war mind you).
"...and as always, we are dealing with strange forces far beyond our comprehension...."

All limitations are self imposed.  Work hard and dream big.
