BBC's Six Wives of Henry VIII
The Original 1970's BBC series on DVDs
*Note: This is the original 1970s production. It has not been digitally remastered, and is not quite the quality we're used to today. But at this time, there's no other way to see the series widely considered to be the best, most authentic version ever made. Writing and acting are both superb. Six 90 minute episodes bring each queen vibrantly to life and Keith Michel stunningly portrays Henry from virile young king to sickly, aging despot.
Anne of the Thousand Days--the Story of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII
Set also contains Mary Queen of Scots with Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson
Anne of the Thousand Days / Mary, Queen of Scots
The film version, starring Richard Burton and Genevieve Bujold is the story of the tempestuous courtship and marriage of Henry and Anne, the conequences of the romance, and Anne's subsequent fall from grace. Beautiful costuming, memorable acting and moving scenes make this a film you'll long remember.

The Tudors
The Complete First Season
Season One portrays the tumultuous early years of King Henry VIII's nearly 40 year reign, his famous female consorts and 20+ year marriage to Catherine of Aragon, the infamous dalliance with Anne Boleyn, and Henry's most notable political act-- the deconstruction of the Catholic church in England. Featuring stunning scenery, beautiful costumes, and despite sometimes questionable accuracy, The Tudors is enthralling, and definitely for Mature Audiences.

- Some things are better left unlearned. Henry probably got what was due him.

- That was fun, but Henry VIII was definitely a womanizer.

I didn't know the "rose without a thorn" question -- isn't it ironic that that was what he called her????? IIRC, she was executed for having an affair.
