If so, what are your favourite plays, poems, and film adaptations of his works?
My favourites are Romeo and Juliet (in film and theatre versions) and the taming of the shrew.

I always had a soft spot for: As You Like It, Othello, Hamlet and Twelfth Night, as well as many more.
Poems by Shakespeare - Countless ones I love.
I never really liked Romeo and Juliet..Everyone generally sees Romeo as some sort of ultimate love, whereas I think he's a shallow little... Not sure about what you think, but practically everyone I know seems to ignore the fact he was able to jump so quickly from Rosaline to Juliet.

Favourites... Hard to tell, I watched (and read) almost all of his plays in theatre and watched many movies inspired with his work and life...
I really enjoyed watching Measure for Measure in the Globe theatre. It's a special experience compared to the regular theatres or plays held in the open.
As for poems, I'd say \"The Phoenix and the Turtle\" is my favourite.
To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

I'm surprised I read anything at all now, after sitting through that...

I used to find Shakespeare's works a little on the boring side until I had one fabulous english teacher. He was so passionate about the works that I developed quite a taste for them. Consequently, I think that Macbeth (or \"The Scottish Play\") is my favorite as that was the first one this teacher covered.
*Gasp* How could I forget Macbeth. My little brother had to do a school production of Macbeth (it was adorable ). I never studied Shakespeare at his age. Not sure whether it'd have been a good or bad thing if I was given the chance, after thinking about what Morgana mentioned.
