The Lion in Winter: Tired Old Queen at the movies revisits the mother of all dysfunctional family holiday films

Here, you have Katharine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitaine kept behind bars (but sprung for the holiday) by husband Henry II (Peter O'Toole), Anthony Hopkins as Richard The Lionhearted with boyfriend Philip II of France (007-in-waiting Timothy Dalton). Such a script, made the most of by old-school actors!
