The Queen is a 2006 Path� Pictures film directed by Stephen Frears, written by Peter Morgan and produced by Scott Rudin.
The film takes an intimate, behind-the-scenes glimpse at the interaction between Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Tony Blair during their struggle, following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, to reach a compromise between treating her death as a private tragedy for the Royal Family and appeasing the public's demand for an overt display of mourning.

I think this may win Helen Mirren an Oscar 
She was perfect as Elizabeth I and she seems perfect for Elizabeth II.

I think Helen Mirren is a great actress but I thought the movie was kind of slow. I actually liked the movie "Elizabeth" that Cate Blanchett played in. That was also a really good movie in my opinion if you're into the history of that. I thought Helen Mirren was also great in Gosfard Park.

Oh I'm sorry! I didn't realize that you were talking about the movie based on Elizabeth II, I thought you meant Elizabeth I. I'll have to see the trailer then that you posted. But yeah, I thought the one about Elizabeth I was good but at first was kind of slow. But yeah, sorry about the misunderstanding!

Well technically the Elizabeth I was a miniseries but i thought it was excellent. In fact the DVD should arrive tomorrow.
Glad she won an Emmy for it and i hope she wins an Oscar for this one!

I just saw this today. It was really good, and rather unbiased.
