Peter Greenaways Prosperos Books, a reworking of The Tempest, is the one that rings my bell, has Sir John Gielgud as Prospero
Titus with Anthony Hopkins is well worth watching, Hopkins at his most credible
Akira Kurosawas Throne of Blood is a passable reworking of the King Lear/Hamlet scenario, as a Samurai drama
The Dresser is a great British film set in blitz era London around a staged production of Shakespeare, some truly wonderful character performances in that one
