Favorite Shakespeare adaptation?

Mine is Olivier's Richard III from 1955.
The opening soliloquy is one of my favorite scenes ever. It actually combines the opening of Richard III with another soliloquy from Richard in King Henry VI Part III.

Why, I can smile, and murder whiles I smile,
And cry 'Content' to that which grieves my heart,
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears,
And frame my face to all occasions.
I'll drown more sailors than the mermaid shall;
I'll slay more gazers than the basilisk;
I'll play the orator as well as Nestor,
Deceive more slily than Ulysses could,
And, like a Sinon, take another Troy.
I can add colours to the chameleon,
Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,
And set the murderous Machiavel to school.
Can I do this, and cannot get a crown?
Tut, were it farther off, I'll pluck it down.

I like the MGM Julius Caesar with Brando, Gielgud and James Mason, though unfortunately the role of Caesar himself is miscast

I like Orson Welles's Macbeth.

Sadly I still haven't been able to see his Othello.

I like this one a lot too.

A western reworking of Othello, with the emphasis shifted to Cassio (Glenn Ford). Steiger is a memorably creepy Iago.

Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood" is incredible.

I love Jubal one of my favorite westerns. I have a nice 720p rip of it on one of my harddrives.

Mine is "Men of Respect."
The story of Macbeth set in the world of Mafia crime families.

I really liked The Hollow Crown on PBS Great Performances. It was Richard II, Henry IV Parts One and Two, and Henry V.
If forced to pick one though, it would either be Julius Caesar with Brando or Oliver's Richard III.
