Olivier was my first Hamlet, and I love that film- even though it's a simplistic version of the play and he was way too old for the role (at least in close-up). I think it's the best- and most assured of his Shakespeare films. Branagh's Much Ado is a weird cultural mash-up. Michael Keaton was a terrible mistake.
