In honor of the Bard's birthday, the best screen adaptations of William Shakespeare, the most successful playwright of all time.

There are 3 films in this list released in the 1990s available on Amazon Video US.

Hamlet
★★★★★

Not my favorite play, but Branagh handles it so well. Billy Crystal as the gravedigger, who knew?
