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

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.

 

I LOVED Moonlighting!!! And, I totally remember that episode. I loved it.

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

I have a very vauge memory of a Moonlighting episode...... Maybe it is on video at Netflix I'll have to do a search. Moonlighting was one of my fav shows.
