  • Summary

  • If you're looking for the real story about Henry VIII check out the Rex Factor podcast. Their episodes on the subject are fantastic! If you're looking for a movie that has the most fun with Henry VIII, check out The Private Life of Henry VIII. This dark comedy features Charles Laughton playing the titular Henry VIII in his most awful and boorish interpretation. The result works better than you might think. The movie is the first British film to be nominated for Best Picture and is a rare anti-Tutor drama presented in English! While few retellings of Henry VIII's story can be flattering, this movie goes out of its way to really hammer home a horrific yet buffoonish character.
