1. The Iron Lady - This successful portrait of the Iron Lady treats its heroine with respect without judging her for her views. Thatcher’s strong character and willpower take the stage as the film shows us not necessarily what she achieved, but how she achieved it. Streep’s bold performance brings the Lady’s spirit to live in her youth, years as a prime minister and nowadays, as an old lady suffering from dementia, the last of which has been given a bit too much attention.
