This is pretty good but not my favourite. It is good for getting the idea of the play (Othello).

This is a great film, very funny with a great cast. You don't even notice that you are watching a Shakesperean play (Twelfth Night).

This isn't strictly an adaptation but you do see the cast preform a modern take on A Midsummer Nights Dream. It is very amusing in places but can due to its age is dated in places.

This is a magnificent film in its own right. The cast and soundtrack are unvivaled in my opinion. Very clever and hilarious adaptation of A Taming of a Shrew.

Not an adaptation in that the script is identical to the play but it has been put into a modern context. Extremly intelligent, probably the best in terms of getting a true feel for the play.
