	You should say which Shakespeare work they were based on, i.e. 10 things I hate about you ==> Taming of the Shrew

	And you have to accept "Romeo and Juliet" for Romeo + Juliet Also I would make it clear that you do not just mean film adaptations of shakespearean plays, as otherwise almost every play has been made into film. Also I thought "Get Over It" with Kirsten Dunst had midsummer night's dream themes in it?

	Why won't it accept "O"?

	You have a lot of misspellings here. Ran is based on King Lear, not Othello. A Double Life isn't based on Othello, it's about an actor who's appearing in the play.

	You forgot the greatest movie of all time. The Lion King is based on Hamlet

	It was just "Hamlet," not "Hamlet 2000".

	Also, that and "Romeo + Juliet" aren't actually "movies based on Shakespeare. They're just movie versions of the play. They happen to be set in modern times, but that's no more anachronistic than Branagh's Hamlet, which is set in the 19th century.

	Kiss me Kate would be another option. I agree though, that I was annoyed you counted Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet, but didn't accept any of, say, lawrence olivier's movies.
