Hamlet is recommended

Michael Almereyda's Hamlet (2000) is wonderful.  Julia Stiles and Liev Schreiber play a brother and sister, which is funny since they were married in Omen 2006.  Bill Murray doing Shakespeare is as hilarious as you'd imagine.  He is perfect.  Coop (Kyle MacLachlan) is in this one, too.  As is Sam Shepard, playwright extrodinaire.  I almost peed myself when we spotted Larry Fessenden in the crowd shot in a scene at a dance club.  I am super impressed with this adaptation of the play.  I really enjoyed it.
