The King's Speech (2010)

Clearly one of best movies of the year, but I'm not sure it was the best. It is almost impossible to compare this movie with the likes of Inception. Fiction and biographies don't line up well on the things used to score a film. But compare The King's Speech to the Social Network or one of the other bio-pics from 2010, and it's a solid winner.

That said, this story has appeal for all. The message is healthy and the main characters are all wonderfully real. This movie helps define courage for the vast majority of us who never really have to show any. And it is done in a way we can completely relate to.

Watch this movie with someone who has a personal challenge to overcome.
