"Henry V" (1989)

In terms of film adaptations of plays by the Bard, I credit Kenneth Branagh with helping to make Shakespeare accessible to many who would not otherwise be interested or aware. These scenes of his St. Crispin Day’s speech [b]still[/b] give me chills.

When I saw it in the theater, people were actually [b]cheering[/b] !
Imagine that.

I agree 100%. This movie changed me from being confused and afraid of Shakespeare to being a huge fan. It was like someone turned on a light switch. My now 18yo kid has watched this with me a dozen times and we’ve seen the play performed live twice. It’s timeless, and a brilliant adaptation.

I might have to watch it again tonight!
Henry V is my favorite play 🙂

@Pinkstarburst It has everything.
... we Band of Brothers!
@ElwoodBlues Yes ! I immediately recognized how appropriate that title from the series was. 😊
@bijouxbroussard I always liked the title; I didn't know until ten minutes ago that it came from Shakespeare!

I like that movie, too.
A Branner fan, but not if his Shakespeare.

@sunriselover @bijouxbroussard I really disliked Branagh's Wallander. I much prefer the original.
@ninalanyon personal choice. I found it gripping.

@sunriselover It was Branagh's portrayal of the character I disliked not the stories.

I love Much Ado About Nothing. It is my favorite with him in it as well. It was what turned me on to Shakespeare!
@JaggedLittlePill I love that one, too. 😊
