An interesting post from First Things takes note of a new Shakespeare adaptation that's coming and posts the Rotten Tomatoes list of the best 30 Shakespeare movies. I haven't seen them all, but it seems a reasonable list. Of their list of 30, I've seen the top 5 as well as 8, 11, 18, 29 and 30. I wouldn't put West Side Story on the list at all (hated it), and I'd re-order the other four (Branagh's Hamlet is my fav), but overall I'm impressed.
Of course, now that I have Netflix, I'll put the rest on the list and watch them eventually.
EDIT: I forgot to note that I won't watch 16, since I avoid movies made by people who rape children.
