The King's Speech
2010
 
Britain's King George VI (Colin Firth) struggles with an embarrassing stutter for years until he seeks help from unorthodox Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) in this biographical drama that chalked up multiple Oscar nods, including Best Picture. Logue's pioneering treatment and unlikely friendship give the royal leader a sense of confidence that serves him and his country well during the dark days of World War II.

Definitely an excellent performance by Firth. As an Anglophile, I found the subject matter interesting, but it did have the feel of a film specifically developed to please the Academy and garner Oscar wins.
