There's a Shakespeare meme going around?

[maeve66]

I haven't seen it, but from someone else's answer, I guess it's simple enough: list the plays you've seen, the movies you've seen (I might add weird modern adaptations here), and the plays you've read. Okay. I can do that. (Yes, I am only posting memes... I MIGHT do a post about all the things I meant to do this summer and still need to do, but it seems awfully like a horrible New Year's Resolution post, and I Don't Do Those.)

Shakespeare plays I have actually watched on a stage, live*:

As You Like It
Richard III
Henry IV pt. I
Henry IV pt. II
Henry V
The Tempest
Two Gentlemen of Verona
Romeo and Juliet

Shakespeare plays I have read:

As You Like it
Merchant of Venice
Midsummer Night's Dream
Taming of the Shrew
The Tempest
Henry V
Richard III
Hamlet
Julius Caesar
King Lear
Macbeth
Othello
Romeo and Juliet

Shakespeare movies I've seen:

Merchant of Venice
Taming of the Shrew (Burton and Taylor)
Henry V (Branagh and Thompson)
Richard III (a couple of different versions)
Hamlet (ditto, a few versions, including Branagh)
Julius Caesar (Olivier)
Macbeth (Polanski -- no idea who the actors were!)
Othello
Romeo and Juliet (Zeffirelli and also the DiCaprio/Danes one)

Adaptations that were cool or interesting that I've seen:

Omkara (Bollywood Othello; amazing movie. SO GOOD)
Maqbool (ditto of Macbeth, same director... not quite as successful. Less music.)
Kiss Me, Kate
Ten Things I Hate About You
Strange Brew (which I did not realize was a take off on Hamlet, despite the name of the brewery, Elsinore... I kind of loved that movie when I was a kid)
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
oh, god, The Lion King (also didn't realize, uh, DUHHhhhh.)
Throne of Blood (brilliant)
West Side Story
Romeo Must Die (shot in OAKLAND!) (well, Emeryville, too)
Bollywood Queen (I did not really catch that this was an R&J takeoff)
My Own Private Idaho?? is apparently based on Henry IV (with bits from other plays... I loved that movie)
I loved this movie, too, but the fact that Richard Dreyfuss PLAYED Richard III in The Goodbye Girl does not really qualify it as a version of the play, I don't think.
Also didn't know that the first series of Blackadder was a parody of several Shakespeare plays
and... Prospero's Books (also brilliant)

*Some of these are because when I was a kid, Northwestern University put on summer versions of the plays outside and people took picnics; some of it is because I was lucky enough to get tickets to the English (not the Royal) Shakespeare company doing a cycle of the history plays in Chicago.
