I feel so out of the pop culture loop these days, so I'm grateful you're dropping some knowledge here. But I have to disagree with footnote #3 -- and I don't care if I get hate for this, but I absolutely LOVED Shakespeare in Love. Perhaps it didn't deserve the Oscar, but Tom Stoppard's wit is my favorite among contemporary playwright's. "The Real Thing" is a masterpiece IMO, and "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" is brilliant.
