Elizabeth: The Golden Age

This one showcases the stunning cinematography for the film, opening with a beautiful shot of a castle overlooking a tranquil pond and ending with a 180-degree spin around the queen in fully decked out garb, standing in front of a window that floods the shot with bright light. Plus, you can’t beat a pissed off Cate Blanchett (”I too can command the wind, sir! I have a hurricane in me that will strip Spain bare if you dare to try me!”). I also love this song, which I was surprised to find out was part of the original score for the Michael Bay helmed The Island…!
