  3. Over fifty films of William Shakespeare's Hamlet have been made since 1900. Seven post-war Hamlet films have had a theatrical release: Laurence Olivier's Hamlet of 1948; Grigori Kozintsev's 1964 Russian adaptation; a film of the John Gielgud-directed 1964 Broadway production, Richard Burton's Hamlet, which played limited engagements that same ...

    • Hamlet, 1948. Director: Laurence Olivier. Notable cast: Laurence Olivier. Olivier is widely considered the greatest Shakespearean actor and director of the twentieth century, and his movie adaptation of Hamlet is still regarded as one of the most successful.
    • Hamlet, 1969. Director: Tony Richardson. Notable cast: Nicol Williamson, Marianne Faithfull, Anthony Hopkins. Richardson’s movie was based on his stage production of Hamlet, and it has a more theatrical feel than the other adaptations.
    • Hamlet, 1990. Director: Franco Zeffirelli. Notable cast: Mel Gibson, Glenn Close, Helena Bonham-Carter. Zeffirelli heavily cut Shakespeare’s text and cast Gibson, who was best known at the time for the Lethal Weapon series, to highlight Hamlet’s inability to be an “action hero.”
    • Hamlet, 1996. Director: Kenneth Branagh. Notable cast: Kenneth Branagh, Kate Winslet, Julie Christie. Branagh’s Hamlet uses Shakespeare’s full text, and even adds in several flashbacks that don’t appear in the original play.

    • David Tennant's 2009 Hamlet - 100. Following his remarkable run as The Doctor on Doctor Who, David Tennant introduced Hamlet to a new generation of fans in this television film from the Royal Shakespeare Company.
    • Grigori Kozintsev 1964 Hamlet - 100. Although Grigori Kozintsev's Hamlet is spoken entirely in Russian, and does not have a score on Metacritic, it holds a perfect 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
    • Kenneth Branagh's 1996 Hamlet - 95. A big reason why Hamlet hasn't been adapted for the screen that much is because a full, unedited performance could take over four hours.
    • Laurence Olivier's 1948 Hamlet - 88.5. Laurence Olivier is often considered the finest actor of his generation. In 1948, the world was fortunate to witness him play the role he was born for (and direct himself).

    • Hamlet (1996) At 4 hours long, this is one of the only adaptations that uses the full text of Shakespeare’s play. It even dramatizes more scenes that aren’t shown in the play, so some viewers may find it excessive.
    • Hamlet (1948) Laurence Olivier, the acclaimed Shakespearean stage and screen actor, starred in and directed this Oscar-winning adaptation. The prologue is moved from later in the play.
    • Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Tom Stoppard directed the 1990 movie of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, his own absurdist play from 1966.
    • Ophelia. This 2018 movie was directed by Claire McCarth, stars Daisy Ridley in the title role, and has a haunting soundtrack by Steven Price. It was based on the 2008 novel Ophelia by Lisa M. Klein.
  4. Hamlet Movie Reviews. Whatever else one may say about Kenneth Branagh’s 1996 film adaptation of Hamlet, it is a visual joy. Moreover, although it is four hours long – much longer than any film has a reasonable right to be – Branagh managed to make it riveting. Even a four-hour stage performance of the play is risky for a director.
