Lord Byron (2011)

Actors: Zack Godshall (producer), Zack Godshall (director), Zack Godshall (editor), Zack Godshall (writer), Bria Hobgood (actress), Justin Bickham (actor), Renee King (actress), Ross Brupbacher (producer), Ross Brupbacher (writer), Ross Brupbacher (composer), Joseph Diaz (actor), Katryn Schmidt (actress), Kayla Lemaire (actress), Rosco Hall (actor), Eric Schexnayder (actor),

Plot: Byron lives with his ex-wife, her kids, and her boyfriend, and when he's not pursuing his primary passion, women, he spends his time smoking weed and loafing around. But he's grown restless in his middle-age, and he feels the need to escape. He just doesn't know where to go. Filled with a cast of eccentric characters, each pursuing dreams and missions of their own making, LORD BYRON paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of the bizarre and lonely world of its title character, a middle-aged, late-20th century romantic who's confused and torn about his own ambitions and desires. Made on a micro-budget with a cast of non-professional actors from South Louisiana, LORD BYRON combines tragedy with bizarre comedy, naturalistic performances with outright madness.

Hamlet: The play's the thing, wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king.

Polonius: This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.

Hamlet: There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Caligola (1979)

Actors: Peter O'Toole (actor), Adriana Asti (actress), Helen Mirren (actress), Osiride Pevarello (actor), Leopoldo Trieste (actor), Pino Ammendola (actor), John Steiner (actor), Giancarlo Badessi (actor), John Gielgud (actor), Patrick Allen (actor), Paolo Bonacelli (actor), Eolo Capritti (actor), Malcolm McDowell (actor), Bruno Nicolai (composer), Gore Vidal (writer),

Plot: The rise and fall of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula, showing the violent methods that he employs to gain the throne, and the subsequent insanity of his reign - he gives his horse political office and humiliates and executes anyone who even slightly displeases him. He also sleeps with his sister, organises elaborate orgies and embarks on a fruitless invasion of England before meeting an appropriate end. There are various versions of the film, ranging from the heavily- truncated 90-minute version to the legendary 160-minute hardcore version which leaves nothing to the imagination (though the hardcore scenes were inserted later and do not involve the main cast members).

Quotes:

Caligula: Let them hate me, so long as they fear me.

Caligula: I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am a God.

[at an orgy]::Caligula: Longinus, you're not having any fun! Enjoy yourself! What is your preference?::Longinus: Everything and nothing Caesar.

Caligula: I hear you have a taste for little boys. Is that not so?::Chaerea: No Caesar, big boys.

Chaerea: Give him enough rope...::Longinus: ...and perhaps, he'll hang us all.

Tiberius: Do you prefer nymphs to satyrs?::Caligula: I like both, Lord.::Tiberius: One needs both, yes, to keep healthy.

Tiberius: Do you think this boy has been drinking?::Caligula: I think he has, Caesar.::Tiberius: So do I. Macro? Bring him more wine!

Caligula: Caesar begged you.

[after a man is decapitated]::Caligula: If only all of Rome had just one neck.

Tiberius: Serve the state, Caligula, though the people in it are wicked beasts.::Caligula: But they love you, lord.::Tiberius: Oh, no... they FEAR me... and that is much better.

His father's ghost appears, and tells Hamlet to avenge him forthwith.

This drives her insane, while her brother Laertes sets out to avenge his father's death. In a climactic swordfight, Claudius tries to poison Hamlet with Laertes' sword and a poisoned cup. Gertrude takes the poison cup out of guilt, while Hamlet realizes Laertes' sword is poisoned...
