ß Romeo and Juliet 10-1 and 20-2
This is an absolutely lovely video. They spent millions making this film. It does not have the complete text from Shakespeare's play, but it will help you prepare to read the script. Get
comfortable and make lots of popcorn; it's 120 minutes long.
ß Macbeth 20-1 and 20-2
This is a great video, with the complete text from Shakespeare's play. Get comfortable and make lots of popcorn; it's 120 minutes long.
ß Macbeth 20-1 and 20-2
This is a great video. It is a 25 minute summary of Macbeth. Use it to review or to get read for a 120 minute movie of the play (see above.)
ß The tragedy of Macbeth, 20-1 and 20-2
This is a great video to get you into the play; only 9 minutes long.
ß The tragedy of Othello, 30-1
This is very well done and performed in the rebuilt Globe Theater in London England. (Turn on the subtitles.)
ß Death of a Salesman 30-1
Rumor has it that most diploma questions are geared to this play. Well here is the play on film. Yes, it is old and in black and white. Sorry, but there you have it. Watching this play will help
you when you have to read the script. Full of flash backs, family conflict and a "skeleton in the closet."
ß To Kill a Mockingbird 10-1
Even though a movie can NEVER replace reading a novel, you might want to watch this film. This film is two hours long, but the novel is 12 hours. So there is no comparison. However, watching
this film will get you started understanding the serious social problems discussed in Harper Lee's novel.
ß Brave New World (film) 30-1
If you think this film is awful, you should read the book!! I hate to be a critic but it Huxley's novel is weird and the movie does a good job of making that weird world come to life. Anyway, the
audio book is 8 hours and this movie is 3. But the film helps you get an overall idea of what is going in before you get into the novel.
