Discussion: New Movies'Films'Tv Series????

"I have a few suggestions but they are not new movies, and most are about other European subjects:

- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (loosely based on Shakespearean Hamlet but I vaguely recall it being set in the late 15th cent), hilarious and often confusing!
- Dangerous Beauty (based on the story of Veronica Franco, courtesan/poet during the mid 1550s Venice) love story, very sweet chick flick but excellent costumes!!!
- Queen Margot (French 'La Reine Margot', based on a partly fictional novel by Dumas about Catheirne de Medici's daughter princess Margot and her role during the St Bartholemew's Day Massacre), beautifully made, superb acting.
- Los Borgia (Spanish film, I have not seen it but it is about the Borgias, it sounds graphic).
- Juana la Loca (Spanish film, I have yet to see this also - about Catheirne of Aragon's sister)
- Luther (Ralph Fiennes plays the spunky monk)
- The Agony and the Ecstasy (about Pope Julius II, Michaelangelo and the Sistine Chapel)
- Lady Jane (with Helena Bonham-Carter, I have not seen this yet)

Here's a handy list of some Elizabethan films and their dates:

Enjoy the movies!!! I know I do ~ B"

"Theres already been tons of stuff about Elizabeth, to the point that I want to scream every time I hear her name. Has anyone seen The Twisted Tale of Bloody Mary? Also, I`d just love it if a production company decided to cover the Plantagenets or the Wars of the Roses."
