Sir John Gielgud - Prospero's Books - The Tempest
Peter Greenaway's Fellini-esque vision of "The Tempest," by William Shakespeare, is a must-own film that bears many repeated viewings. John Gielgud reads every part, with other voices overlayed for various characters. The dreamlike, lush atmosphere of the movie frames the timeless language of Shakespeare in it's intended setting of incantation, ritual, and sensuality. There's a lot of nudity in the movie, but it's incidental - the real star is Shakespeare himself - this is Peter Greenaway's loving tribute.

John Gielgud & Edith Evans: The Importance of Being Earnest
John Gielgud & Edith Evans as John Worthing and Lady Augusta Bracknell in the famous 'handbag' interrogation scene in the play by Oscar Wilde
I feel Edith Evans' portrayal far superior to that of Judi Dench's, although I haven't heard or seen Maggie Smith's performance in the role which I am sure equalled or surpassed even that of Dame Edith.
