Since we're talking about Shakespearean films I'd like to recommend 2.
Henry V with Laurence Olivier and Henry V with Kenneth Brangh. The interesting thing is how this same story was presented. Olivier's film was 1944 and made to assist the war effort. Brangh's film was 1968 and definitely anti-war. Same play different emphasis and presentation. I saw Olivier's film in Junior High and was instantly a fan. Never looked back. And I loved Brangh's film just as much.

2. Yeah, loved both, but I'm a tied in the wool romantic so I'm stuck with Olivier's as my favorite.
I just think it's so interesting that the same play could be presented with such different messages.
