The Queen (2006) starring Helen Mirren, Michael Sheen. It's 1997, and shortly after becoming Prime Minister of England, Tony Blair (Sheen) is confronted with a crisis. Princess Diana has been killed in a traffic accident in Paris, and the queen (Mirren) wants to keep her funeral a private affair. Blair feels that as the "people's princess," Diana deserves a public funeral. The whole situation becomes a public-relations disaster for the royals. Mirren won an Oscar for her performance as the queen. All in all, a most excellent movie. The DVD offers subtitles for the hearing-impaired, as well as closed captions. Grade: B+
