Just saw "The Gathering Storm" on DVD and wanted to recommend it here.
It is about Winston Churchill in the period from 1934 until 1939, and it's absolutely brilliant. Albert Finney playing Churchill provides one of the best acting performances I have seen in my life, no exaggeration. Vanessa Redgrave plays Clementine Churchill and is superb and there is a wonderful cameo of Ronnie Barker as Inches, the Churchill's butler, which provides some wonderful banter between Finney and Barker.
A fantastic film about one of history's finest men. Very enjoyable and if you're after a DVD to watch pick this one up.
Plus great period clothing, cars and settings!
