32 Movies You Didn’t Know Were Based On Shakespeare Plays


There’s no question that William Shakespeare is one of the most prolific and legendary writers to ever write. However, if you need further proof look to the catalog of work that has been created that’s inspired by The Bard’s plays. From some of the best rom-coms to incredible animated films to intense dramas, Shakespeare’s plays have inspired tons of films, and here are 32 of them.

10 Things I Hate About You – The Taming of the Shrew 

Arguably, one of the best rom-coms inspired by Shakespeare, and just one of the best rom-coms period, is 10 Things I Hate About You. Inspired by The Taming of the Shrew, the film follows Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) as he tries to date Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles) because her sister paid him to. Along with the plot following the play relatively closely, the characters’ last names as well as the Shakespearean dialog mixed into the film add to it all, making this a fun, edgy and loving homage to William Shakespeare.
