[neverending]

Most of Branagh's Shakespeare productions are pretty accurate. His Hamlet was the first film to use the "full text" version of the play. His Much Ado About Nothing and Othello are well regarded. His Love's Labor's Lost is set out of period, so you might not be interested.

Olivier's Hamlet, Othello & Richard III are all great productions, and it's hard to beat Olivier for acting.

Orson Welles' star turn as Othello is something to behold.

Certainly one of the greatest Shakespeare films has to be Zeffirelli's production of Romeo & Juliet. He made waves by casting actors that were actually the ages the characters were supposed to be. It made Olivia Hussey a star.

There's so much Shakespeare on film, produced in so many different styles- you could watch Shakespeare all year long and have a really enjoyable time. Don't miss Brando in Julius Caesar.
