Kenneth Branagh's Henry V is fucking fantastic and his Hamlet Mini-series is pretty ok too.

This.

It had a legit creepy horror atmosphere.

Chimes at Midnight is great. So is Branagh's Henry V and Much Ado About Nothing. Othello with Olivier is interesting because we will never see anything like it again.
