Elizabeth (1998)

This is the England of 1554, but the veneer of traditional English composure and dignity has been stripped away. The British populace is in turmoil. Fearing a challenge to her throne, Queen Mary I imprisons her half-sister, Princess Elizabeth Tudor (The daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn), in the Tower of London. But, in 1558, when "Bloody Mary" dies, Elizabeth is swept onto the throne and, at the age of 25, is crowned Queen of England. In order to survive, let alone to rule, Elizabeth must suss out hidden agendas: the Court is rife with intrigue; military strategists are risking the lives of young Englishmen; religious leaders at home and abroad place no faith in her; and the man she loves might not be worthy of her trust. The male-dominated ruling class would appear to have the advantage, but intelligent Elizabeth will deploy whatever means necessary to keep, or take what's rightfully hers.

Director: Shekhar Kapur
Writer: Michael Hirst
Starring: Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush, Christopher Eccleston, Joseph Fiennes, Richard Attenborough, Fanny Ardant

Sounds very similar to the England of 2023.

Cremildo · 06-29-2023, 06:35 PM

I'll have one of those, thank you very much indeed, sir.

bonehica · 06-29-2023, 07:23 PM

Will happily upgrade my old HD-DVD for this.

Cardboard_killer · 06-29-2023, 07:27 PM

I love CB, but the Elizabeth movies just never clicked for me.

Man, can she dance.

Never seen this and frankly don't know anything about it but I'm a huge Cate Blanchett fan so I need this.

She is outstanding in it.

oddbox83 · 06-29-2023, 08:06 PM

Great film, previous Blu-ray was awful from an ancient HD master. Sort of an easy sell with a new 4K master!

It's the movie that pretty much put her on the map.

I know what Cremildo means; it's wierd if you call yourself "a huge Cate Blanchett fan" and you've never seen this movie....

This should look stunning on the UHD with all those gorgeous colors!

Henke007 · 06-30-2023, 11:11 AM

Thank god, i thought they were gonna release something that no one has on their top 100 from Uni like Daylight or Dantes peak.

I'm surprised you've never heard of it. This movie is what launched her into stardom. Cate was basically an unknown at the time but received an Oscar nomination for her phenomenal performance. She was a co-favourite to win but lost out to Gwyneth Paltrow.

It would be nice to get a two pack of both films in one case from Universal just like Paramount did with the 48 Hrs. films.

vondrake · 06-30-2023, 01:46 PM

just watched my blu-ray last week so you're welcome

bookcase · 06-30-2023, 02:41 PM

This movie is incredible and should look great in 4K. I'm in for this!

Gacivory · 06-30-2023, 02:53 PM

Was hoping it would be both Elizabeth films. But still excited!

gkolb · 07-03-2023, 04:04 AM

My blurays of these two movies is just that.
Omly paid $10.99 for this at Best Buy from the bin back in the day.

Jorvic · 07-03-2023, 08:47 AM

My favourite Eric Cantona film.

Definitely buying this.
