I still remember the day I saw the first episode of ‘The crown’. My partner insisted on giving the series a chance as they kept recommending it to him, but taking into account the subject matter, it made me very lazy. However, I finally agreed. And the impact was total and absolute.
10 films / series about the British director
1 ‘spencer’
Kristen Stewart. Kristen Stewart. And Kristen Stewart. Precisely for the performance of an actress who, finally, begins to receive the respect and admiration she has always deserved, ‘Spencer’ deserves a place in this ranking. But it is that, moreover, it is a biographical film as far from cliché and cliché as it is close to the terrain of horror story and psychological drama, a ghostly story that intoxicates and hypnotizes with the same ease thanks to the fabulous work of directed by the always stimulating Pablo Larrain. A fascinating film among its silences, its endless corridors, night walks and abandoned houses and childhoods.

Two ‘Queen’
Led by an immeasurable Helen Mirren, who ruthlessly (and deservedly) won the prize race, “La Reina (The Queen)” is one of the funniest, most acidic, intelligent and inspired Isabel-centric pieces of all time. . A simple and elegant proposal in its staging, measured to the millimeter in its script, the work of the great Peter Morgan, and excellent in its interpretations. A great little gem about British royalty that, moreover, hasn’t aged a bit since its premiere in 2006.

3 ‘The king’s speech’
In one of the most sensational editions of the Oscars in recent years, this biopic about George VI starring the monarch’s stutter and how he overcame it, won the main awards of the evening: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Screenplay and, of course, best director. And David Fincher watching from his chair. Seeing is believing. Time has put everything in his place and Tom Hooper’s correct proposal, despite gaining some strength with visualizations, continues to be one of the most overrated works of recent years.
A lovable story, closer to anecdote than historical greatness, talentedly interpreted by two inspired Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush that is enthusiastically observed and immediately forgotten. For his part, Hooper adopts that touch of academy obsessed with detail which, while becoming something like an author’s timbre, ends up being repetitive. House logo. The result, ultimately, is good job.

4 ‘Elizabeth’
It’s not that Cate Blanchett hadn’t already shown her immense talent before the premiere of ‘Elizabeth’, but there is no doubt that this bombastic biopic directed by Shekhar Kapur brought it to a much wider audience. And to the Hollywood industry, of course, that she nominated her for a Best Actress Oscar she should have won on the street. Too bad that, for some incomprehensible reason, the academy decided that that night would be “Shakespeare in Love (Shakespeare in love)”.
In any case, rewards aside, what Blanchett does here is simply a gift for any acting lover. From terror to ambition, from drama to greed, from incomprehension to firmness. Her character goes through a thousand and one moods and Blanchett, always in the best way, conveys everything with the simplicity that characterizes her best.

5 ‘Queen Victoria’
Without a doubt, ‘Queen Victoria’ is one of the most compelling examples of Emily Blunt’s acting talent. And it is that, in fact, even in a classic and routine historical film like the one in question, the actress is able to do a truly amazing job, positioning itself by far as the most enjoyable element of a proposal that is as memorable as it is effective. Fortunately, in the end, the queen is not called Victoria, but Emily.

6 ‘The crown’
Even for the most skeptical, among whom I fear I must count myself, ‘The Crown’ has ended up becoming one of those essential series that leave no room for doubt or indifference. How did you get it? Talent, talent and more talent. Untiring talent. Imposing talent. Amazing talent. Radiant talent. epic talent. Exciting talent. vibrant talent. touching talent. Omnipresent talent. And from the very first minute, thus avoiding any kind of uncertainty.
7 ‘real night’
It is always a good time to remember and claim this cinematic diamond titled ‘Royal Night’. Directed by Julian Jarrold, who is absolutely effective from start to finish, this fun and lighthearted comedy stars versions of Princess Margaret and her sister Elizabeth whom you would like to celebrate every day if possible. To get that instant connection it helps, and a lot, an extremely inspired cast that turns every scene into total joy. If you like more or less the context in which this story takes place, do not hesitate, here it is a great moment of cinema guaranteed.

8 “Queen Victoria and Abdul”
Besides being a sort of hidden remake of the superior ‘His Majesty Mr. Brown’, ‘Queen Victoria and Abdul’ constitutes, together with ‘Belfast’, the last great interpretation to date offered by Judi Dench. And it is that, after all, she is one of those characters thought to the same extent as an actress who, without ever allowing the activation of the autopilot, always manages to bring out the best from each of these gifts. The film, from start to finish, moves to the rhythm of its interpretation, sober and far from any kind of excess or screeching, always maintaining a perfect balance. Lesson of talent.

9 “The Bolena sisters”
Great costume drama hidden in the filmographies of its trident protagonist composed of Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Eric Bana, ‘The Boleyn Sisters’ continues to be a film to be discovered (and claimed), as well as one of the most interesting cinematographic proposals of recent years linked to British royalty. An interesting story, a measured and effective staging, moments of contagious drama and a wonderful series of shows. Everything in its place, go.

10 ‘The Windsors’
hilarious parody Focused on the lives of each of the members of the British royal family, “The Windsors” is one of those series that manages to make you smile knowingly with overwhelming ease. Everything about her constantly dances with the absurd, yes, but the end result is surprisingly balanced. If you’ve ever thought of a joke about this very special family, well, it’s most likely in “The Windsors”. Although yes, performed in a more brutal, delusional and fun way.
Everything about her was grand, interesting, mesmerizing and intoxicating. All of her characters, without exception, were tremendously interesting and fascinating in their complexity. And all the episodes of her were a lesson in staging, acting and writing worthy of a standing ovation. She was a perfect series And so it continues, at the top of the rankings.
Well, what happened to me, no doubt, can happen to you. It is about overcoming the initial reluctance, avoiding the possible disinterest caused by a subject as specific as the British one and letting go completely of both “The Crown” and any of the other nine proposals that appear in this special. Long live these magnificent works. Crowns and thrones for all of them.
