Whatnerd's 20 Best Shakespeare Movies Adapted From His Works

"Yes, we all know of William Shakespeare, the great 16th century playwright who's continually referenced in literature, film, pop culture, and even just everyday conversations. For many decades, his life and works have provided a goldmine of material for Britain and Hollywood to sink their teeth into, whether as film adaptations of his plays, spin-offs for side characters, or dramatized biopics with creative licenses taken. Here are my picks for the best movies that are direct adaptations of his works or heavily influenced by them." - whatnerd.com
