10 Clever Film Reimaginings of Classic Stories (MovieWeb)

"The most beautiful thing about stories is that they're timeless. Regardless of its setting and time period, a story's basic elements can be understood and enjoyed across generations. Classic stories -- like the Brothers Grimm fairy tales from the 19th century, or Homer's epics from Ancient Greece -- continue to be told and cherished today. Over the years, Hollywood has adapted many of these classic tales to film. But every now and then, filmmakers give these stories a unique twist and reinterpret them in a different light. Maybe it's simply placing those characters and circumstances in a modern setting, or maybe it's injecting some fantasy into the story's realistic world. Whether you realize it or not, here are ten films that cleverly reimagine classic stories." - movieweb.com
