Luxurious old films about kings, queens and court intrigues

Every year there are many new interesting films. I, for example, watch very different genres - almost everything, indiscriminately. I choose only the best quality, smart movies with an interesting plot. However, every year I often return to the old masterpieces. After all, a good movie, like wine, must pass the age of time, and also leave a pleasant aftertaste and food for thought. In this article collected The best films about kings and queensAbout the aristocracy and famous monarchs.



Of course, this list can be very long. Therefore, I have identified five of the most impressive and boring paintings. In addition, this list will include rare, old movies that few people have heard of before. In the last century, movies were made very differently. No one was chasing a big box office, and the directors just did what their hearts wanted.



Marie Antoinette, Queen of France This picture tells the story of Marie Antoinette – Queen of France. She became famous for being very fond of fashion, fun and gambling. The queen was very shocking. Mary also welcomed the revolution and supported her king. The film was shot in 1956, but he managed to get ahead of time: even now the film looks very beautiful and luxurious.



This melodrama was filmed in 1964 and tells us about a girl from a poor family in France. Angelica is a very beautiful, elegant and intelligent girl. However, to save her family from poverty, she has to marry a wealthy count. The plot of the picture is somewhat reminiscent of the tale “Beauty and the Beast”, but only in real life. The film is also based on the novel by Anne and Serge Golon “Angelica”.



Mary, Queen of Scots is another very good old film that was made in 1971. The plot tells about two friends: the Queens of Scotland and England. Initially, the friends were rivals, but life brought them together to serve a prison sentence. Very interesting and instructive story.



Despite the fact that the main character is not king, the film perfectly captures the spirit of this era. The plot is slightly different from the novel, but also does not leave the viewer indifferent. The film was shot in 1975 and even now it can be revised as a classic of world cinema.



The action films develop in Bavaria and Austria in the mid-nineteenth century. The Duke's daughter Elizabeth, who is called Sissy, loves nature, animals and horseback riding. She's not like her friends who act like real princesses. At one point, Sissy meets an attractive young officer and falls in love with him. But it's not that simple if you're both from rich, famous families. The film perfectly conveys the royal atmosphere, and also immerses in a touching love story.



I hope you, as well as I, enjoy these films. What old movies do you like? In what era do you want to dive the most?
