Elizabeth (1998)
In the role that helped pave the way for her incredible acting career, Cate Blanchett explores the early years of Queen Elizabeth I in Elizabeth, the acclaimed film where Blanchett got her first Oscar nomination. Exploring the difficult task of becoming a monarch and how it shaped her legacy, the drama has cinematography, art direction, music, costume design, and make-up, for which it won an Oscar. But it hinges on Blanchett’s performance, and she does an outstanding job of communicating the nuanced struggles that come from taking on this powerful position, especially at an early age. Bringing a great deal of international acclaim for the noteworthy actress, much like Queen Elizabeth I herself, it’d be the start of an astonishing career. She reprised the role in 2008’s Elizabeth: The Golden Age, but it unfortunately wasn’t as good — though it’s also available on Netflix.
