I always wanted to see Kurosawa's WWII version of the Idiot. I really loved Seven Samurai, but I could never find a rental place that has The Idiot.
The version of the Brothers Karamazov with William Shatner and Yul Brenner looks really stupid. I still want to see it sometime though.
Edit: look up Dostoevsky on IMDB. There are a ton of shorts and movies based on his books. I wish TCM would have a Dostoevsky day.
I think that Ealing studios could have made a great Dostoevsky adaption with Alec Guiness and Peter Sellers. They could really show the dark comedy side.
