The Queen

If you haven't seen The Queen I highly recommend that you see it. Helen Mirren gives an Oscar-winning performance as Queen Elizabeth II. The movie takes place during the week between Diana's death and her funeral. Rather than focusing on Diana's life, the emphasis is on the Queen's reaction to Diana's death; her defiance to Tony Blair's pleas to come back to London from Scotland and her own pain and lack of understanding about the public's outrage towards her, the Royal Family and the Monarchy. Be sure to see it!
