• Queen, The (2006)

  [9/10]

  "The Queen does something unusual -- it makes a fairly severe critique of monarchy in general while giving tribute to Queen Elizabeth II's years of service to her country."

• V for Vendetta (2006)

  [8/10]

  "The twisting and engaging story line more than makes up for the 'comic book' characters, and director JamesMcTeigue displays an excellent balance of mystery, suspense, and violence."

  Average score: 8.50
