Leave Her To Heaven (1945)
To Be or Not To Be (1942)
North by Northwest (1959)

That's all I got... Can you think of any others? Why is Hamlet so popular? I can't think of any from Macbeth.

It wouldn't be much of a stretch to include Star Trek VI - the Undiscovered Country [1991]. I'd be surprised if there weren't others. Good Night Sweet Prince was the name of a biography of John Barrymore published in 1981.

Oh, and of course, What Dreams May Come [1998].

Not a major pic, but there is a film titled Let the Devil Wear Black.

It's really interesting that many movies took their names from this play. The 1964 movie "Murder Most Foul" also takes its name from the play, I think, from the lines "Murder most foul, as in the best it is / But this most foul, strange and unnatural."

Not a movie but a Star Trek (original series) episode: 'Conscience of the King'.
