Lawrence Oliver's Hamlet made way back in 1948 is one of my favorites. It was one of the first video tape productions I believe. Long before home units were even conceived of. And still as fresh today as the day it was shot (IMO). And there was Orson Welles MacBeth as well which was well done I think. Not sure how many of the plays have ever been put on film or video but there have been a few good ones I think.

Also, Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing is an absolutely delightful film.
