Elizabeth I.

September 29, 2005 | HBO | 223 minutes
Directed by: Tom Hooper | Written by: Nigel Williams
"Elizabeth I" (Helen Mirren) sheds light on both the personal and public side of England's most enigmatic queen. She reunited a nation divided by religious strife and faced down the Spanish Armada. During her time as Queen, poets and playwrights wrote about her, artists painted her, and composers dedicated works to her, all contributing to the legend of the "Virgin Queen" who never married. In the public's mind, Elizabeth's romantic life is nearly completely overshadowed by her political achievements and military triumphs.
