Flash Gordon (1980) is Queen Elizabeth's favorite movie

[caj]

I normally could care less what the Royal Family does. I've never understood the fascination with that family, but when I read this, I thought it was cool. Though I'd share. I love that movie too.

Queen Elizabeth is a well-known stickler for royal Christmas traditions — church, backyard soccer, turkey with all the trimmings...and cult 1980 sci-fi movie Flash Gordon!

British actor Brian Blessed, 83, (who played Prince Vultan in the film), recently told Yahoo Movies that the British monarch, 94, watches the movie "with her grandchildren every Christmas." He added, "It's her favorite film."

Better still, the larger-than-life actor claims to have received his inside royal knowledge from none other than the Queen herself when she told him at an event, "You know, we watch Flash Gordon all the time, me and the grandchildren."
