10 Movies Within Movies That Deserve A Standalone Release

9. Hamlet - Last Action Hero

Hamlet Arnold Schwarzenegger

Let's be honest, even the best Shakespeare plays tend to drag a bit by modern standards, so a cigar-chomping, Uzi-wielding Arnold Schwarzenegger is probably the best thing that's ever happened to Hamlet.

That's the version of the Bard's classic moviegoers got a glimpse of in Last Action Hero, and it's only fair that the world gets to see this rendition in its entirety.

For those who have never understood Shakespeare, hearing one of his best-known tragedies belted out in a thick Austrian accent backed by a few dozen explosions should be just the ticket.

And let's face it, Arnie would be far better off pursuing a full-length version of Hamlet than Terminator 6.
