you know, i sort of set branagh aside because i don't know what to do with him--he's not *quite* hollywood but then he's not exactly merchant ivory either.
I think his adaptations of Much Ado About Nothing (oh, how i love that film!) and Henry V are amazing. But then there's his tragedies and how
I've been keening to see the late 90's adaptation of Twelfth Night again. It's my favorite play, ever, so of course it was impossible to find the movie version quite as sparkling as I think it should be, but I'd love to see it again just for Ben Kingsley and Nigel Hawthorne and Helena Bonham-Carter, and especially for the not-slashiness.
and, um, I am hideously ashamed and embarrassed to admit this, but i've never seen or read rosencrantz and guildenstern.
