Tolstoy's sweeping literary classic, set during the Napoleonic wars and the French invasion of Russia, has been adapted many times, but the most recent lavish BBC adaptation (which aired in 2016) definitely holds its own. Penned by Andrew Davies (the man behind the BBC's beloved Pride & Prejudice), War and Peace featured a huge cast of period drama veterans alongside young stars like Lily James, Aneurin Barnard, and James Norton.
