Forbidden Planet or Prospero's Books?


They're both great films - and both are sort of out of the norm for most films - but, which is your favourite adaptation or in this case interpretation of Shakespeare's "The Tempest". I think I'd have to go with The Forbidden Planet - although do check out Prospero's Books, if you haven't already seen it. It's great as well.

I like both, but honestly the craziness of PB always entertains, while FP tends to get a bit boring with each new rewatch.

Both are great though.
