The Last King of Scotland (2006) vs The Queen (2006)


which is better??

reply

I've only see The Queen, and it wasn't great. Mirren is a class act but the movie felt made for TV.

reply

Seen both, like both, both leads won Oscars for their performance, but I purchased The Queen. I can't say one is better than the other, but obviously I think The Queen has more re-watch value. At least for me.

reply

good performances but average movies

reply

I hated The Queen. Therefore LKS.

reply

The Queen

reply

Last King of Scotland. They are both good movies, but I thought Idi Amin's story was more interesting than the British royal family dealing with the death of Princess Diana.

reply

i agree

This.

This is a great documentary for those interested in Ida Amin:

Haven't seen The Queen, doesn't look interesting to me. The Last King of Scotland was pretty good.

reply

Both average films. I recall more about The Queen so would say that has the edge.

reply

Which one was Gillian Anderson in?

reply

King of Scotland.

reply

Girl's been in so many damned movies featuring The Queen and other such royalty, it's hard to keep up

reply

Yeah I actually thought you meant The Crown tv show but remembered she was in King of Scotland too.
