I said the same thing, though I did find I saw ONE thing he was responsible for. (Brazil)

yes, that's right, I didn't see Shakespeare in Love.

Well, there are plenty of other masterpieces besides Arcadia that are all Stoppard (as opposed to Brazil, which is largely Terry Gilliam); Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead, for one. He's mostly known in Britain and in theatrical circles here; I dare say Shakespeare in Love is the most well-known work of his this side of the pond.
