You probably already worship Dame Judi Dench for her many amazing performances in everything from James Bond movies to British comedies like As Time Goes By. But have you seen her wild performance in the trippy 1968 Midsummer Night’s Dream? Warning: Possibly NSFW.

Also in the same film: Helen Mirren (Hermia) and Diana Rigg (Helena), plus David Warner as Lysander. This film has EVERYBODY in it:

Oh, and playing Demetrius? That’s Michael Jayston, aka the Valeyard from Doctor Who, “Trial of a Time Lord.”
