Shakespeare Meme that Never Ends

Day #20: Your favorite movie adaptation of a play

I can't think of a single theatrical release that was a movie adaptation of a play that I've actually seen. I never saw 'Ten Things I Hate About You' although it looked sort of clever, and I never saw 'She's the Man' which was supposedly based on 12th Night, and I can't think of anything else at the moment.

So I'm going to cheat a bit and say my favourite adaptation is Shakespeare Retold, the BBC series. Out of that, I have to say I liked Much Ado About Nothing the best - mostly because Hero basically told Claudio she wasn't going to marry his un-trusting arse after humiliating her. The Maccers one was pretty awesome, too, mostly because they called Gordon Ramsey 'The Scottish Chef' becuase they Dare Not Speak His Name.
