Anything with yank actors is automatically crap
They treat blank verse like a foreign language
Titus Adronicus was a pretty good movie based Anthony Hopkins
Batman v Superman
I loved the new Macbeth, need to see Throne of Blood, Macbeth is my favorite Shakespear
Romeo and Juliet with the underage titties
Kurosawa still makes the best Shakespeare movies despite him not using the actual text. He understands the spirit of the plays the best.

Wasn't Throne of Blood a straight up Macbeth interpretation though?

That's what he was saying. There is also RanKing Lear
The version of Henry V with Branagh is godlike.
As is the RSC Hamlet with Tennant and Patrick Stewart.
10 things I hate about you is about the most Shakespeare /tv/ can handle

William Shakespeare could not, unaided, have produced the immortal writings bearing his name.
He did not possess the necessary literary culture, for the town of Stratford where he was reared contained no school capable of imparting the higher forms of learning reflected in the writings ascribed to him. His parents were illiterate, and in his early life he evinced a total disregard for study. There are in existence but six known examples of Shakspere's handwriting. All are signatures, and three of them are in his will. The scrawling, uncertain method of their execution stamps Shakspere as unfamiliar with the use of a pen, and it is obvious either that he copied a signature prepared for him or that his hand was guided while he wrote. No autograph manuscripts of the "Shakespearian" plays or sonnets have been discovered, nor is there even a tradition concerning them other than the fantastic and impossible statement appearing in the foreword of the Great Folio.
Shakspere's daughters were illiterate. His daughter Judith, at the age of 27, could not even sign her name.
If this guy wrote the plays bearing his name how would he have permitted his own daughter to reach womanhood and marry without being able to read one line of the writings that made her father wealthy and locally famous? It makes no sense.

You realise that actual educated people view the Shakespeare authorship debate as the literary equivalent of denying the moon landings?
You realise that the lack of evidence we have of Shakespeare's biographical details is entirely typical for a man of his time and class?
You realise that Shakespeare is an anomaly in that we have an almost complete encyclopedia of his works in an era from which 99% of plays have been lost?
You realise that early-modern England actually had a very good education system in some places, courtesy of the church and the local town councils, and that Shakespeare was probably highly educated in literature, philosophy, rhetoric, and the classics?
You realise that middle-class women did not generally receive a male education?
You realise that no serious academic takes this laughable nonsense seriously?

It isn't that good. Richard III with Gandalf is better if you want that kind of thing.

Several of the people you named were not exactly contemporaneous with Shakespeare. Different times, different classes, different countries. Besides, you're comparing illustrious philosophers and scientists with a middle-class playwright.
Best Hamlet coming through
