Strange Brew!
It's MacBeth hoser!
I also really don't like Gunn's stuff (GotG2 is the only Marvel movie Ive never watched, COVID films excluded) and I liked Suicide Squad a lot. More than any GotG.
It has a few "ugh, james gunn" lines but for the most part is really fun.
The location cards all are amazing, and I'm a sucker for that.
This is, admittedly, often a product of low budgets and availability of materials, and while I have seen some very clever choices mixed through there, it's amidst a sea of "just wear your regular clothes, it'll be fine" and "it's a war play, we'll just go to the milsurp"
But both of these were in the park kind of productions
the production design is amazing
There's also the Midsummer Night's Dream from 1999 where Stanley Tucci plays Puck.
I'm surprised that's one you forgot!
My AP Western Civ teacher has us watch 'Ridicule' and in the opening ten minutes a guy does a line of cocaine in his carriage and then whips out his dick and urinates on his political rival.
I was one of those people in school who just couldn't 'get' Shakespeare. The language was just to much for me to get past... until I saw R+J. For some reason watching that film made it work for me, so now that I know there's more like that I'm interested in checking them out.
She also showed us the first hour of The Stand, and some X-Files episodes. I think she was just a horror fan and wanted to work in whatever she could tangentially get us to watch.
Note that I do not necessarily recommend all of these (and haven't seen a couple). Some of them might suck.
But I also fucking hate Luhrmann's R+J, so I guess that's largely moot.
I only recently watched the 2012 Much Ado for the first time and I enjoyed it a lot
*I blame my first high school english teacher. She went on and on about how Shakespeare was important and for serious people and teenage me turned right off. Knowing what I know now she should have said "Hey, you want to read what dick jokes and sexual innuendo was like 400 years ago?" That would have gotten my attention.

I just told this to my wife and she laughed really hard and said "that lady was going through it"
anyway the only good thing about shakespeare in love is that it's directed by john madden so you can say shit like "the object of playwrighting is writing plays" and "now this is the playwright, and he wants to write plays, but he can't, and that's going to make it hard for him to write plays going forward"

Or that Joe Rogan was the John Madden of mixed martial arts

There are many men who go by this name.
Let film John Madden have his increasingly worsening reputation movie. Football John Madden has to content himself with his increasingly worsening reputation football video game instead.
Apparently he's had cancer for over a decade but didn't want people to know
The 1993 Branagh version is really, really good (wild miscast of Keanu aside)
His delivery of "if I had my mouth I would bite" has been one of favorite lines of his career, only surpassed by his magnum opus in Johnny Mnemonic of "I want the club sandwich, I want the cold Mexican beer, I want a $10,000-a-night hooker!"
when I was in high school, my Spanish 1 teacher was hired because she was the wife of a missionary who had been to south america. I later learned from an aggravated faculty member that they also had someone with a graduate degree in teaching spanish apply for the job, but the first one was "more christian" so they didn't hire her.
I did
not learn much spanish that year.
I remember the Central Park production that was all over A&E back in the 80s. At the time the only guy I recognized was Hurt as Oberon, and maybe Rex Smith, but both Christine Baranski and Kevin Conroy have become big names since.
There's a moment in Branagh's film where he literally has an insert shot that lasts maybe a second of him turning and spiking the camera when he overhears something and it's the funniest one second of film in the whole movie
Branagh's a good director and he works with good editors
