I’ve seen so many traditional and modern adaptations of Shakespeare I can’t even keep track of them all anymore. My favorites though would the Ethan Hawke Hamlet, the Christian Bale/Kevin Kline/etc A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the Joe Fiennes/Al Pacino Merchant of Venice and the Leo/Claire Romeo + Juliet. I also 10 Things I Hate About You, which is quasi-based on The Taming of the Shrew.

The worst Shakespeares on film I’ve seen are O – which was supposed to be Othello and the Shakespeare Unbound version of MacBeth with James McAvoy.
