What are 4 modern movies that are based on Shakespeare plays?

In: William Shakespeare [Edit categories]

Answer:

Four modern movies, based on Shakespeare plays are: Romeo+Juliet (Starring Leonardio DiCaprio and Claire Danes,) Hamlet (Starring Ethan Hawke and Julia Stiles,)O (Starring Josh Hartnet,) and Macbeth.

There's also "She's the Man" (with Amanda Bynes) based on the cross-dressing antics of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night".

Julia Stiles seems to be attracted to modern adaptations of Shakespearian dramas as she also appears as Kat Stratford in "10 Things I Hate About You" - an adaptation of "Taming of the Shrew".
