Since you didn't specify new films, the last one I watched (just yesterday) was 'The Lion In Winter'. Peter O'Toole as Henry II and Katherine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitaine. Basically, the film (adapted from the play of the same name) concerns the political machinations of Henry, Eleanor, and their horrible offspring.
I quite this like film, always have done - easily an 8 out of 10. I would rate it higher, but I was educated as an historian and the film is rife with historical inaccuracies. Still and all, the writing and the performances are nothing short of phenomenal. Like this bit, a 36 years old O'Toole as the shattered, world weary 50 years old Henry:
The whole film is rife with that caliber of acting and writing. Also notable for being Timothy Dalton's first film role, and Anthony Hopkins' second.
