There are obvious starting points such as Jane Austen's other famous works like Emma, Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park, but here is a list of some other works (and films) that will satisfy your Regency-era period piece cravings:

Films:
Les Miserables (1998): A Regency-era piece set in France during the French Revolution
Becoming Jane (2007): A film dedicated to the woman behind the novels, Jane Austen herself
Jane Eyre (2011): Another famous British female author whose characters also lived in the Regency period
The Duchess (2008):  While Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, lived in the decades prior to the Regency period, this is nonetheless a gorgeous period piece about a contemporary of Marie Antoinette and an ancestor of both Diana Princess of Wales and Sarah Ferguson.
Clueless (1995): A modern interpretation of Austen's Emma
From Prada to Nada (2011): A modern, Latina rendering of Sense and Sensibility
