![]() | The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $7.56 Temporarily bumped to #1 in honor of its DVD release! If you loved Toby in Jane Eyre, you will enjoy this drama!
Toby is the delicious Gilbert Markham from Anne Bronte's novel. A beautiful period romance that will have your heart beating fast! Toby plays a young man hopelessly falling in love w/an unattainable, aloof woman hiding a secret.
|
![]() | Masterpiece Theatre: The Bronte Collection
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $25.48 Toby Stephens as Rochester! You'll wear out the DVD replaying it if you're a Toby fan. This is moved up to #1 because it has commentary for the first & last hours, cast & crew interviews, & deleted scenes. However, it does NOT have the photo gallery from the UK version, nor newly released bloopers on a new *abridged* Reg 2 Dutch version (in English w/subtitles). Still, a MUST for Toby fans.
|
![]() | Jane Eyre (Masterpiece Theatre, 2006)
Buy new: $20.49 / Used from: $15.87 Same as #1 but w/o the extras (oh yea, and no Wuthering Heights, but who cares, lol). I suggest buying the copy above instead for all the wonderful Toby extras.
|
![]() | Mangal Pandey
Buy new: $29.99 Yes, that's right! A bollywood film in Hindi & English. Toby speaks Hindi for his lauded role as a Brit soldier before the 1850's India uprising. Incl. a rare on-screen bollywood kiss (go Toby!). Oh, legendary Aamir Khan stars, too. :) Watch ALL extras for Toby interviews & footage from the premiere.
A Region 2 German DVD has Toby speaking all English, but the Hindi has only German subtitles.
|
![]() | Photographing Fairies [VHS]
Buy used from: $8.25 Toby's a photographer who endures great loss by shutting down spiritually, then finds evidence of the afterlife while photographing fairies. A fav of Toby fans.

Region 2 DVD avail in English from Denmark (turn off Danish subtitles) & in English under the Spanish title, Fotografiando Hadas (search the Net for these).
|
![]() | Cambridge Spies

The Region 1 DVD is a must for the extras--vital commentary for episodes 1 & 4, plus historical footage.
|
![]() | Twelfth Night
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $10.21 Toby Stephens is the dashing Orsino in Trevor Nunn's lush Twelfth Night. Swoon as he flirts & falls for Cesario / Viola (Imogen Stubbs, a woman pretending to be a young man) in Shakespeare's comedy. Helena Bonham-Carter & a cast of legendary British stage actors star w/ Toby.
Again, Region 1 DVD a must for its (minimal) extras, incl. a brief Toby interview & behind-the-scenes footage of Toby.
|
![]() | Sharpe's Challenge
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $13.99 Toby Stephens raises hell all over India as dastardly General Dodd, who is alternately evil enough to chill your blood and sexy enough to curl your toes. Co-starring Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings) and Padma Lakshmi (Top Chef). Sword-play! Strutting! See him smack Sean Bean!!
|
![]() | Die Another Day - 2-Disc Ultimate Edition
Buy used from: $1.77 Toby as evil, sexy Gustav Graves, a James Bond villain who, in his tuxedos, sword-fights, & race cars, is a Bond alter-ego. The sword-fighting scene (Madonna watches in a bit role) is NOT to be missed.
Careful!! Check "other sellers" descriptions. You want the Ultimate edition, w/the most Toby extras, incl. interview & behind-the-scenes footage of him "parachuting" toward Buckingham Palace.
|
![]() | The Camomile Lawn
Buy new: $25.49 / Used from: $21.43 One of Toby's earliest films, Toby & an outstanding ensemble cast are the cavorting young (& not-so-young) in WWII Britain. Incl. Jennifer Ehle, of Pride & Prejudice Fame, who reportedly dated Toby, & Tara Fitzgerald, his co-star in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Toby is in episode 4 only briefly and episode 5 not at all.
|
![]() | Agatha Christie's Poirot: Five Little Pigs
Buy used from: $1.24 if out of stock, check aetv.com. Poirot investigates the murder of a philandering painter on behalf of his daughter; did her mother really kill her father in a fit of jealousy? Toby plays a bitter man still devastated by the death of his very best friend. Watch it twice to get the full impact.
|
![]() | Almost Strangers
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $24.48 Another fav of Toby fans, sold in Region 2 as "Perfect Strangers." Michael Gambon leads a cast of acclaimed actors in Stephen Poliakoff's production of a family reunion. Veritable strangers share a family tree diverse in relationships & memories; their weekend together brings unexpected humor, mystery & pathos. Toby Stephens in a supporting role brings a moving & memorable performance.
|
![]() | The Queen's Sister
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $11.00 A rollicking romp of a movie, Toby is Tony Armstrong-Jones to Lucy Cohu's Princess Margaret. Billed as part fact, part fiction, watch as Toby puts up with a lot from the Princess as he gets a little on the side himself.
|
![]() | Onegin
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $5.31 A passionate, romantic young man, friend and foil to the arch, cynical Onegin (Ralph Fiennes), Toby Stephens' Vladimir Lensky is the small bit of warmth in this otherwise cold and austere but moving costume drama. Director Martha Fiennes (Ralph's sister) brings out the best in all her actors, including Liv Tyler as Tatyana. Stephens and Fiennes are as brilliant as ever, and, bonus, Toby sings!
|
![]() | The Great Gatsby (A&E)
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.20 Toby stars as Gatsby w/Mira Sorvino. If youve read The Great Gatsby, you know a major theme is the shallowness of the rich. Toby as Jay Gatsby assumes this mantle brilliantly. He captures the essence of Gatsby, down to his haunting smile. A fairly faithful production, though there are a few noticeable changes. Reading the book first definitely makes this movie more enjoyable.

Buy used from: $77.00 For playing Region 2 DVDs (see link to amazon.co.uk listmania list in the introduction). As mentioned, Toby Stephens' work is often released in the UK first.
