What are some of the worst Shakespeare adaptations of all time?

I'm torn on the Taymore version of Titus Andronicus with Anthony Hopkins as Titus. There are so many idiotic things about it, and so many great ones.

The Tempest adaption with Helen Mirren as Prosperina instead of Prospero was dreck. Caliban did well (even if making him black makes the slavery thing into an in-your-face metaphor), but the rest was a melange of poor and unnecessary special effects and mediocre acting.

If you like seeing masterpieces defiled, just watch this video I took of me plowing your mother last night

Yeah that movie was pretty okay for what it was, an aesthetic explosion that sacrificed all depth the play originally had. The mood was very peculiar and 90s, it was enjoyable. Plus, young Leo (hhhnnnnnnng).

Met a Shakespeare scholar once who couldn't stand Ran or Throne of Blood. Triggered me pretty bad.

All versions of Othello that have a black man as Othello rather than a white man in black face

Yeah pretty on point t b h, it turned the play into pure spectacle but honestly it's not a 'masterpiece defiled,' its not really BAD

nah that's apparently a 2010 film called The Tempest

Baz Luhrmann's William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet is just so goofy I kind of like it.

Has anyone seen Prospero's Books?
