Name your 7 favorite Shakespeare's plays/

Hamlet
Othello
Richard the II
Richard the III
Romeo and Juliet
King Lear
Henry the V

A Midsummer Night's Dream
The Tempest
The Taming of the Shrew
Romeo and Juliet
Othello
Hamlet
King Lear

in that approximate order.

why so sad, nietzsche?

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.

Well I think Shakespeare's tragedies are great plays>>His characters are very complex and dark😞

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.

If we are taking interpretations, what about Ran? Based on King Lear i'm told.

He wrote more than seven plays!? 🙄

Ran was an excellent film.....this time Kurosawa uses 3 sons instead of the 3 daughters>>>

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.
