no flashy updates or anything with ethan hawke in it.

i also hated oliviers hamlet and much prefferred the one by the guy emma thompson was fucking (i know his name, just can't spell it)...the 1996/7 one with kate winslet. or was it helena bonham carter? no kate winslet i think.

anyway, i also like that that version is complete and hamlet is fuckable. too bad it's not out on dvd.

other ones that do the plays in their entirety would be appreciated.

i remember seeing the polanski macbeth in school and remember it being good.

adaptations like west side story allowed, or slight ones kurosawa's throne of blood? no, thought not

i think you mean kenneth branagh. i can't look at his face without partial nausea. he's directed about five shakespeare films usually with thompson, but he was best as iago in othello, which he didn't direct.

you didn't mention michell pfeiffer's as titania in midsummer night's dream

when i'm in total art stud mode i love prospero's books

You preferred Branagh's overstuffed Hamlet to Olivier's? whatev. My god that was painful. Like that scene with Depardieu and Polonius. Ugh.

Throne of Blood beats any literal adaptation. Hands down.

Does Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead count?

If not, my favourite by far is the Zeferelli version of Romeo& Juiliet. It just breaks my heart every time.
