10 Films You Didn't Know Were Based on Shakespeare

"If you survived English class in high school with a well-established chagrin for the works of William Shakespeare, you may be surprised to learn that modern filmmakers often turn to the works of Shakespeare as reliable inspiration for stories that translate well onto the big screen. It turns out that the stories that made people laugh, or cry, from the stage in the 16th century, are still able to stir men's souls today when presented on film.
In this article, we pull back the curtain on some of Shakespeare's most iconic works to show you how modern filmmakers used the stories of the past to create films you didn't know were based on plays by William Shakespeare."
