If there's one thing I know about you guys is that you are a high brow crowd who enjoys the finer things in life, Cristal, Cuban Cigars, Olive Garden - the fancy shit. So what are the best and worst Shakespeare adaptations you've seen in the movies?
 
Best is "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" starring Tim Roth and Gary Oldman. Worst is a tie between "O" and "Romeo+Juliet", tho the latter is visually enjoyable and fun to make fun of.

Romeo+Juliet has one of the best soundtracks, not of any Shakespeare movie, but maybe of any 90s movie, period. The directing is often really inventive too. While being cheesy as shit, its really captivating. While it is a mess of a film, there are lots of really good things about it. I have problems calling it a "bad" movie.

Well there is an interesting point there - Shakespeare was never really meant to be read - these are plays, and people forget that shit, this is meant to be interpreted by a director and watched, so in a lot of ways, watching a Shakespeare movie is a much more... correct (? Not sure if thats the right word) experience than reading the "books"

Dostoevsky is edgy?

He's just trying to spread wholesome Christian family values.

Dostoyevsky is WICKED edgy. Dostoyevsky is so edgy his novels get censored cuz he always wanted the twist ending to be that the protagonist is a pedo and no one would let him publish that.
