RebeccaC Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 So what are the movies that are the retelling of Shakespeare? West Side Story and Kiss me Kate are easy ones, Romeo and Juliette and Taming of the Shew. So do y'all know of others? How many can ya list and what play is the movie from..... Have at it all you movie buffs :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieAir Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Ten Things I Hate About You is a take off on The Taming of the Shrew. It's a cute movie. Do you remember that Moonlighting episode that was a re-do of The Taming of the Shrew? It was a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 There are some great BBC ones (some may not want younger ones to watch) called Shakespeare Retold. The Taming of the Shrew one is hilarious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dominion Heather Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I just watched Branaugh's version of As You Like It a few nights ago. I like it very much. I find that Kenneth Branaugh's productions almost always please me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 :iagree: I like his versions most of the direct adaptations. The beginning of Much Ado about Nothing is strange but the rest of it is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Clueless is Emma. It's actually very good, especially when you've read Emma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Clueless is Emma. It's actually very good, especially when you've read Emma. Ok, label me a big :blushing: LOSER. You said Shakespeare. Emma is Jane Austen. I know that. Really, I do. Really.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebeccaC Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Ok, label me a big :blushing: LOSER. You said Shakespeare. Emma is Jane Austen. I know that. Really, I do. Really.... Oh I think that is an honest mistake ;) One I might have made. Come to think of it I bet Emma has some sort of Shakespeare tie :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is on video at Netflix I'll have to do a search. Moonlighting was one of my fav shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
