The Lion in Winter (1968)

September 3, 1189 - King Richard I is crowned at Westminster Abbey. You probably remember him better as Richard the Lionheart, you know, the guy that shows up at the end of every Robin Hood movie. But Richard was, historically, an important figure that features in one of the wackiest eras of Western History (and, for that matter, Middle Eastern History). Before his most famous exploits in "The Holy Land" against Saladin during the Third Crusade and before he was made King of England, Richard was one of the sons of Henry II and they all schemed and plotted with and against each other to take their father's throne. Richard ultimately won but still had to watch his back for his rotten little brother, John.
Anyway, "The Lion in Winter" is one of those classic films with classic actors and it is all about the previously mentioned scheming of Henry II's (Peter O'Toole) sons Richard (Anthony Hopkins), Geoffrey (John Castle), and John (Nigel Terry). Oh, and the very non-British Katharine Hepburn rounds out the cast as Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Alternate More Obvious Pick -  Charlie Sheen has somehow managed to not die and turns 48 today. "Major League" is Sheen as a miscreant, but still young and loveable.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the death of Michael Clarke Duncan. Go find Mr. Jingles and remember MCD (and Michael Jeter) by watching "The Green Mile"
