The only ones i've seen are Titus (which i still own) and Mel Gibson's Hamlet, a long time ago.

It's not a subject that interests me at all. Hopefully some members will be able to contribute but i can't.

How about films such as 10 Things I Hate About You, She's the Man Ran, Shakespeare in Love and even The Lion King?

Of those, i've seen The Lion King once.

I did some Shakespeare for English lit and it bored me to death unfortunately.

Michael Caine has made a lot of great movies. His Harry Palmer films tend to blend into one with me so none of them made the cut. The films he did for Christopher Nolan are all very good films but they aren't Michael Caine films, he's not the star, so i didn't include them either.

Flawless and Going in Style are personal faves that i've seen several times whereas Harry Brown which possibly should have been listed i've watched just the once.
