10. Queen Narissa

Susan Sarandon totally throws down as an über-evil sorceress-queen hybrid in Enchanted. Too bad she transforms into a dragon before falling to her death and exploding into magic dust at the end.

Keep clicking to see which all-powerful movie monarchs made the list!

9. The White Witch

With evil tree spirits and werewolves in her army of minons, the cold-hearted White Witch (Tilda Swinton) rules with an icy fist in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. We're not saying she's a good queen, but she certainly looks the part on screen!

8. Gertrude

Hey, her husband may get killed off, but this Queen of Denmark (Glenn Close) knows how to keep it calm, cool and collected in Hamlet.

7. Queen Elizabeth I

Cate Blanchett rocked those awsome floral petticoats so well they just had to make a sequel to Elizabeth. Take note, ladies.

6. Cleopatra

As the Queen of the Nile, Elizabeth Taylor brought her iconic beauty and grace to Cleopatra, earning her a well-deserved spot on our list.

5. Arwen

Everyone knows the whole "one ring to rule them all" bit, but we have a feeling that this elven queen (Liv Tyler) needs little more than her looks to keep Middle Earth in line in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

4. Queen Victoria

Victoria (Emily Blunt) may be a fledgling queen learning the ropes, but there's a first-class monarch under that incredibly superfluous headpiece in The Young Victoria.

3. Queen Amidala

As the ruler of Naboo and an intergalactic fashion icon (the robes! the headdresses!) there's no denying that Star Wars' Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) is the by far the best space queen ever.

2. Marie Antoinette

Between her high society parties and penchant for expensive diamonds, Marie (Kirsten Dunst) makes for one of the best on-screen movie queens in Marie Antoinette. That is, until it's off with her head.

1. Queen Elizabeth II

Despite some heavy competition, there's no question that Helen Mirren's Elizabeth II is the quintessential queen of the silver screen in The Queen. Take that, Hollywood!
