Jackie
The first thing a First Lady should do after her husband's been assassinated is pack the White House silverware.
Mind you, the mourner in this drama has ample time to steal before removal.
Shortly after his assassination, John F. Kennedy's revered wife Jacqueline (Natalie Portman) arranges an elaborate state funeral for him that is construed as controversial by his brother Robert (Peter Sarsgaard) and his voters.
She further confounds the public by conducting a Life magazine interview where she explains to a reporter (Billy Crudup) that her and husband's legacy was akin to John's favourite musical Camelot.
An artistic take on Jackie's mental decline following the traumatic events in Dallas, this beautifully shot biography offers up an unseen glimpse into the grieving process of the world's most beloved widow, masterfully performed by Portman.
And the Kennedys were just like Arthurian legend if JFK was Guinevere and Marilyn Monroe was Lancelot.
