Somebody once said about Shakespeare's plays: "There are the ones you read in school... and the rest of them." For me, my knowledge of the Bard stops at Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet.

Here's one match. John Gielgud was in Laurence Olivier's Richard III.

Toshiro Mifune also did Ran, based on King Lear. I'm not sure who his co-stars were in that.

And we should have gotten this earlier as well. Olivier got an Oscar nomination for playing Othello, with Maggie Smith as Desdemona.

Ran is the one movie I most regretted not being able to work into this puzzle.

Yup. And it's a straight Shakespeare adaptation, not a modernization.
