Funny. I saw Kenneth Brannaugh's excellent film version of Harry V for the millionth time this weekend. It's a fine film and IMO the best adaptation done.

And man! Could the Bard lay down the prose or what!?

Brannaugh's excellent film version of Harry V for the millionth time this weekend. It's a fine film and IMO the best adaptation done.

I relly prefer Olivier's, done during WWII Britain. I know it's fantasy, but the first flight of long bow arrows at Agincourt still gives me the chills, and the college audience I first saw this film with audibly gasped at the scene.

Brannaugh's Agincourt on the other hand was a muddy mess. Probably closer to the truth of the battle, but not nearly as inspiring.

I do love Brannaugh's Hamlet, however. My God, it's complete! If only it were available on DVD.

I recall reading that Kenneth Brannaugh wanted to film all of Shakespeares plays.
