There are a lot of film adaptations of Hamlet, some direct and some indirect. I mean, it's a tremendously influential play. But my favourite is probably from the William Peter Blatty's little-known 1980 gem, The Ninth Configuration. It's not a retelling of the play, but the plot is influenced both literally and thematically by Hamlet.
You can watch the whole film on YouTube, but skip to the 31:30 mark to see Jason Miller explain his adaptation of Shakespeare's plays for dogs!
