I think Brodie is probably her most famous role before the harry potter/downton abbey things happened - even though she was constantly on stage, film, and tv. I liked her in Murder by Death -but the writing was not as funny as I thought it should be. I also enjoyed A Private Function and Tea with Mussolini. A Room With a View was interesting just because of how she didn't end up clocking Helena Bonham Carter as far as i know. HBC seemed like such a twit at that age and by all accounts, MS did not suffer fools gladly. I like HBC as an actress much better now
