25 Movies You Didn't Know Were Inspired by Shakespearean Plays (Yardbarker)

"Few figures in English literature have had as much influence as William Shakespeare. It's thus not surprising that, throughout its history, Hollywood has reached for the Bard for inspiration. This has often taken the form of direct adaptations of various plays. Still, it has often been the case that filmmakers and screenwriters have taken a looser approach to the source material. What is particularly remarkable about these looser adaptations is how diverse they are in terms of genre. Shakespeare has found a home in drama, political thrillers, and, perhaps most surprisingly, teenage comedy. There is, seemingly, a Shakespeare for every cinematic taste that one can imagine." - yardbarker.com
