 | 10 Things I Hate About You
Buy used from: $3.98 This film is entertaining enough on its own merits, some fans may not even know that it's loosely based on The Taming of the Shrew. With Julia Stiles!

 | Hamlet
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $2.62 I would say that Mel Gibson's Hamlet was one of my favorite modern Hamlets, but that was a period piece of course... Ethan Hawke does a lot to bring Gen-X angst to the Prince of Denmark. With Julia Stiles!

 | William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $4.99 The original modern adaptation; some may not like Baz Luhrmann's frenetic neon colored music video interpretation, but it was one of the first films to show high schoolers the true meaning and emotion behind the lines they had to memorize for their British Lit final.

 | Richard III
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.68 I'd like to see this one, although I think it's a bit dramatically dense and not as accessible as some of the others.
|
 | O (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $1.22 The story of Othello as a young black college basketball player rather than a young black Venetian general; funny how Julia Stiles ends up in a lot of these...
|
 | Macbeth
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.64 I have not seen this one myself, but it was honored at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival...

 | My Own Private Idaho - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $27.49 / Used from: $15.24 I have not seen this one, but supposedly has a loose basis in Henry IV.
|
 | Men of Respect
Buy used from: $9.11 MacBeth as a good ol' fashioned Fettucine Alfredo Mafia film.
|
 | Scotland, PA
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $6.99 Macbeth set in a truck-stop greasy spoon in Pennsylvania... sounds interesting to me.

Listmania!
