Does anyone know of a movie or song which quotes Shakespeare (and I'm not talking about a movie about him or one of his plays/poems lol)?

There are literally millions: In the movie Hot Fuzz they perform Romeo and Juliet. In the Weezer song "The Greatest Man that Ever Lived" they quote the infamous line "all the world's a stage" from As You Like It. Try looking through this list: http://www.imdb.com/keyword/shakespeare/ Some of those will be film versions of plays, others are just films with Shakespeare references.

the song cruel to be kind quotes shakespear. Salad Days by Minor Threat. Any song that uses tongue tied also. Here are a few of shakespears quotes; It's greek to me, Vanished into thin air, budge an inch, played fast and loose, cold comfort, too much of a good thing, flesh and blood, crack of doom, without rhyme or reason, good riddance and for goodness sake. To name just a few.
