Shakespeare Goes to the Movies

I got to write another blog for work :D This time it's all about Shakespeare to help promote our Shakespeare movie night.

Nice breakdown! I need to look up some of these--especially Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing and the David Tennant version of Hamlet. I've heard only good things about both.

Your library does such cool programs. Reading this made me want to watch Much Ado About Nothing again. Such a good movie.

How cool. I wish our library did stuff like this!

I enjoyed reading this. You didn't even mention the half dozen or so versions of Midsummer Night's Dream, all of which I appear to own.

In more than three decades of teaching English one of my guiding principles was that children should first meet a play by Shakespeare either by watching or, preferably by performing it. It seems to have worked better that way.

Cool! I was fascinated by Shakespeare plays when we read them in high school, and there are some good film adaptations out there. Adding to your list, I also enjoy 10 Things I Hate About You, based off The Taming of the Shrew. :)
