Favorite film adaptation of Hamlet?

[Georgy Zhukov]

Hamlet has always been one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. I try not to miss any opportunity to see a film version. What are your favorites?

I will go with Olivier, he may not be everyone's favorite, his freudian interpretation may throw people off and he basically cut half the play, but no one can do Hamlet's soiloquies better.

Brannagh because the play is uncut. Nobody did an uncut Hamlet before, and probably nobody will again.

Olivier on performance, the Mel Gibson one was painful, for anyone thats seen it. "i saw yer 'amlet darlin'!".

Branagh's, followed by Olivier's, Burton's 1964 try and then probably the 1990 version with Gibson (which contrary to what's been said above me, isn't that bad really).
