simple plan Clarence I do love you sir

from our hands Family Values are
practically non-existent in this classic

tribulations of a rotten and aspiring
King except the crown but you wouldn’t
force me to a world of cares
call him again my lord my lord back
again I’m not made of stone number eight
King George the madness of King George
hello there Georgie boy this emotionally
draining story depicts the descent into
insanity of the King of Great Britain do
you think that you’re mad
it jumps from scenes which are slightly
comical to scenes which have viewers
holding back tears as we’re given a
glimpse of the man behind the facade of
royalty and the primitive methods used
to cure him
Nigel Hawthorne’s portrayal of King
George is the perfect balance of
determination and unhinged energy I’m
the King I tell I’m not told I am the
verbs and I am not the object number
seven King Arthur first night there’s a
piece there’s only to be found on the
other side of wall a love driven tale of
the sword there are essentially two
storylines in this film one sees the
withered King Arthur battle against
prince malagant burn them all and
Camelot lives on the other follows the
love affair between Arthur’s bride
Guinevere and his trusted knight Sir
Lancelot
a man who fears nothing is a man who
loves nothing and if you love nothing
what joy is learn in your life Sean
Connery’s Arthur struggles to retain
stability within Camelot and the loyalty
of his men I am Arthur of Camelot and I
command you now all to fight it’s a
journey full of relatable scenarios
which reminds us that Arthur is far from
invincible
number six king louis xiv the man in the
iron mask i’m a young king but i am king
then be a good king although this tale
features a classic switcheroo it’s also
a story of treachery and patriotism next
time there are rioters shoot them king
louis xiv played by leonardo dicaprio is
destroying france leading the country
into unpopular wars and living a radical
lifestyle you will burn it now I will
not try him King ordained by God to
bring balance the twin brother he
imprisoned long ago is sought and you
take the side of traitors of this one
worst of all my own brother’s tried to
do this to me while the concept of louis
xiv having a twin is a little
far-fetched it does act as a critique of
his reign back to the prison you shall
go and into the mask you hate really
wear it until you love it and die in it
number 5 henry v henry the fifth may i
with right and conscience
make this claim nothing screams war
classic like a pilgrimage into battle as
King Henry and his men traveled to face
the French we embark on a tale of doubt
camaraderie and loyalty as Henry deals
with the fading morale of both himself
and his men
well energy and cruelty play for a
kingdom the gentler gamester is the
soonest winner kenneth branagh stellar
performance provides us with a plethora
of inspirational speeches keeping us
intrigued right until the dust settles
on the battlefield at all galvanic cheap
whiles any speaks that fought with us
upon Saint Crispin’s day number four the
King of Siam the king and I I am King as
I was born to be bold brawny and bald
Yul Brynner’s King Mongkut
isn’t the kind of tyrant you want to get
on the wrong side of oh your majesty I
beg of you not to take revenge on this
girl if you do you will be throwing away
everything good you have accomplished
for yourself in your country but even
with his hands on hip manner he ends up
the subject of a love story where we get
to see the complexities of love and the
effects it can have on someone in power
you are very difficult woman behind this
apparently immovable leader is a man who
loves his children Falls for a woman etc
etc well is this at all
well it means and all the rest and so
forth your majesty number three King
Arthur Monty Python and the Holy Grail
greetings King Arthur you know my name I
do the mystical tale of King Arthur is a
classic and what better way to tell it
than with some satire
although every scene is comical from the
clacking coconuts to the black night we
still get a grasp of the legendary
journey to Camelot
thanks to Graham Chapman’s cool yet
cowardly portrayal with his knowledge of
swallows and the ways of science it’s a
film that proves Arthur truly is king of
the Britons
kamu the Britons who the Britons
we all are we are all Britons and I am
your king now we added King number two
Mufasa The Lion King one day Simba the
Sun will set on my time here and will
rise with you as the new king the king
of Pride Rock with the voice of James
Earl Jones what more could you want
oh this motor being Kingdom getting you
away all the time there’s more that
Simba on top of his wisdom and life
lessons Mufasa rules his kingdom in a
fair diplomatic and merciful manner and
is beloved by all his subjects well most
of them anyway no king
he’s also Stern when he needs to be and
sets a great paternal example teaching
Simba what it is
to be a true king when we die our bodies
become the grass and the Antelope eat
the grass and so we are all connected in
the great circle of life before we
unveil our number one pick here are a
few honorable mentions cannot cooperate
and Rohan will answer
sund’ys I am more than the exalted ruler
of this land and the master of all I
survey I’m also a concerned dad hold
this father grab I whatever
number one King George the sixth the
King’s Speech do you know any jokes
timing isn’t my strong suit
unlike the other Kings on this list
George the sixth isn’t tangled in a
cutthroat struggle or a frivolous
scandal
shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit
shit shit shit shit yes shit now his
problem is an embarrassing stammer that
makes social events a chore and
important speeches arduous to the point
where he kicks and screams to come to
grips with addressing the nation
why are you his it because I thought he
well stammered you have a bit of a
temper one of my many faults behind his
royal status lies a character that is
sensitive self-conscious and most of all
just a regular guy why should I waste my
time listening because I have a right to
me I have a voice yes you do do you
