Richard II (or III?) filmed in the WWI setting with Ian McKellan playing the king.

Shakespeare in love (about the life of Shakespeare).

West Side Story: the musical (loosely based on Romeo and Juliette)

That's about it really. I believe I once saw Hamlet done in the original English (with Mel Gibson??) or maybe I was just drunk or something.

checked out Rashomon once (King Lear as told by Akiro Kurosawa) but didn't have a chance to watch it.

the french cartoonist mobius had a very nice science fiction adaption of Romeo and Juliet in a special edition of heavy metal magazine. (i think it was in an annual, not a monthly edition.)

set in a future kind of like the Bladerunner movie, or Frank Miller's Ronin series.

It has been said that shakespeare was not a traveled man and therefore could not haven written al of those plays and sonnetts. A different author...chaucer perhaps may have written them.
