5.The Duke
In 1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60-year-old taxi driver, steal Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It is one of those film that doesn’t drawn you in but once the film gets going it is enjoyable, the chemistry between Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren is spot on and the ending is superb, this film is easy to watch and it is well casted and the story is brilliant, overall, the intentions is there and, in some ways, this is an uplifting film.
4.Eye In The Sky
Col. Katherine Powell, a military officer in command of an operation to capture terrorists in Kenya, sees her mission escalate when a girl enters the kill zone triggering an international dispute over the implications of modern warfare. One of those film that is unpredictable and it also made you think at the same time, it certainly drawn you in from start to finish and this is compelling to watch, the acting is amazing and totally believable and this is silently powerful.
3.The Hundred – Foot Journey
The Kadam family leaves India for France where they open a restaurant directly across the road from Madame Mallory’s Michelin – starred eatery. A feel-good film which you needed and this is light-hearted, it is uplifting and this film will surprise you as it is joyous type of film and this is watchable, this also deals with culture and diversity aspect and that does work well and this film will made you smile, this is a nice and a well-made film that will capture people heart.
2.Monsters University
A look at the relationship between Mike Wazowski and James P. “Sully” Sullivan during their days at Monsters University, when they weren’t necessarily the best of friends. Firstly, I know Helen Mirren have got a smaller role in this film, she plays the principal of the university and the vocal in this film is superb, this is heartfelt, charming, and funny plus it has got great characters and this animation film is certainly memorable, it is suitable for all ages and a family viewing.
1.Woman In Gold
Maria Altmann, an octogenarian Jewish refugee, takes on the Austrian government to recover artwork she believes rightfully belongs to her family. Perfectly paced film which does hold your interest, the flashback element never gets too overcomplicated as it flows and gel together, it got a brilliant story and the acting is convincing, it will leave you a lasting impression on you.
MDC Reviews 
Helen Mirren is one of our great actresses. On your list I have seen The Duke and Eye in the Sky (with you). Here’s some others to consider:
1. Trumbo (2015) – True story about a film script writer. Also starring Bryan Cranston.
2. The Queen (2006) – She won an Oscar for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II.
3. Calendar Girls (2003) – comedy based on a true story.
4. Last Orders (2001) – great small film also starring Michael Caine, Tom Courtenay, David Hemmings, and Bob Hoskins. Not a bad little cast.
5. The Madness of King George (1994) – based on the true story of King George III. Script written by Alan Bennett.
6. The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover (1989) – also starring Michael Gambon as a very threatening villain.
7. The Long Good Friday (1980) – sometimes forgotten that she stars alongside Bob Hoskins.
