The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) (2000,  Unrated)
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)
Here's a little story bout a brother named Othello
He liked white women and he liked green Jell-O
Then this punk Iago, he made himself a menace
Cause he didn't like Othello the moor of Venice!

Henry V (The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fift with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France
Not at all what I expected. The use to the theater stage and "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood"-esque production design in fascinating.

Can defiantly see it's influence on Wes Anderson and Monty Python.

King Lear (1983,  Unrated)
15
Richard III (1956,  Unrated)
Richard III
Really fantastic version of Richard III, but if you are not familiar with the play this version is a little hard to follow.
16
10 Things I Hate About You (1999,  PG-13)
10 Things I Hate About You
SO much better than it has any right to be.

Richard III (1995,  R)
Richard III
Visually interesting and simplified re-telling of Richard III.

Set in hypothetical 1930's England where Civil War has left the country amid Fascist rule. All of the cast is fantastic (accept Annette Bening)

Ran (1985) (,  Unrated)
Ran (1985)
This retelling of King Lear is a cornucopia of lush colors and textures. From the Kabuki theatrics to the immense & bloody battles, Ran delivers on all cylinders.

Kurosawa's deep appreciation of John Ford can be seen through out this film. His use of master shots and landscapes allows the viewer to actually understand the tactics being used in the battles. A refreshing change from the "everything's a closeup" phase current cinema seems to be in
