My Daughter (8yo) has recently become interested in Shakespeare plays - in part because David Tenant (also known as the 10th Doctor in Doctor Who) is soon to be seen playing Hamlet in the RSC production of the play in Stratford and London.

Anyway - on to the point.

What films of the Bards plays do you like?

I am after your recommendations of films made from the plays - not "inspired by", so don't mention West Side Story etc - I like them, but that's not what we're after at present.

My own favourites are:

Richard III with Ian McKellen



Much Ado About Nothing with Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson



Romeo & Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio
