Haha! Love that you included "Strange Brew"! Haven't seen that one since high school. Thanks for the flashback! Time for some Elsinore beer :)
PS I would also highly recommend David Tennant as Hamlet if you haven't seen it. He's such an incredible actor!
Tennant's Hamlet you're right! I actually own this dvd so shame on me for not including it. When I heard he was leaving Dr. Who for Hamlet I was not a happy bunny. But then they filmed it and it had Patrick Stewart and David Tennant! I will revise my list so thank you for reminding me.
I just read Ann-Marie macDonald's "Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)" this week - I'll be writing and psoting about it soon - and remembered your Shakespeare post. It's a delightful romp through Othello and Romeo+Juliet, with a cameo by the ghost of Yorick. It would be fun to read after reading those plays for sure!
Cool! I look forward to your review.
