The first version of Hamlet I saw was Kenneth Branagh's movie.  At first the 2 hour version, a couple of weeks later the 4 hour version.  I was blown away.  Ever since I started buying DVDs a couple of years ago, I wanted to have one of this great movie.  No luck so far - until now, that is: http://www.kenbranagh.com/ reports that the movie will be released on dvd in 2006.

Sounds good.  One more reason to hope that 2006 comes soon ...
