Kenneth Branagh's is the best and most nearly uncut Hamlet available on video, though anachronistic - the lavish sets and costumes are late 19th or early 20th Century and look positively Czarist - and explicit about Ophelia and the prince where Shakespeare is not.
Ian McKellen's heavily cut Richard III is much more obtrusively and amusingly anachronistic, though almost equally lavish and certainly fun.
And a lot more sexually explicit than Shakespeare.
Robert Downey, Jr.?
Really?
