Answer: Wood chipper

Steve's partner in a kidnap ransoming scheme killed him with an axe in a dispute over a stolen Ciera. The pregnant local police chief spotted the parked stolen car and apprehended Steve's partner in the process of feeding the body parts into a wood chipper.

The movie starts out claiming that it was based on a true story but no police records' search could find a similar crime with the same details of two men involved in a kidnapping using a wood chipper. The movie won two Oscars one for original screenplay (Coen brothers) and for Best Leading Lady for Frances McDormand the police chief.

Answer: The English Patient

The 1996 romantic drama "The English Patient", directed by Anthony Minghella, is set during the final days of WWII. While its titular character is a count (though Hungarian rather than English), no royals are featured in the story. The remaining three options are all historical movies in which famous English royals play a prominent role. "The Lion in Winter" (1968) is based on the tempestuous marriage of Henry II and his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. "A Man for All Seasons" (1966) depicts the contrast between Henry VIII and his Lord Chancellor, Sir Thomas More, and its tragic ending. "Mrs Brown" (1997) tells the story of the close (and, according to some sources, improper) relationship between the widowed Queen Victoria and her deceased husband's Scottish servant, John Brown.
