modern adaptations of shakespeare

[drwhofan]

I was wondering if anyone could think of any modern film adaptations of Shakespeare plays? I know of '10 things I hate about you' and 'she's the man' - I can't think of any more. I'm looking more specifically for titles which are American teen comedy films if possible, although since I don't know how many shakespeare adaptations in that form exist, I'll take any ideas!

Thanks x

Twelfth Night has been adapted as a film called something like 'She's the Boy' about someone who's annoyed about not being allowed to play in their High School's football team and pretends to be her twin brother. It was on telly the other night but I didn't watch it so I can't remember the exact name sorry. Might jog someone's memory who is more reliable than me though!

Get Over It is not so much based on a Shakespeare play but it has one of his plays in it.
There is also Shakespeare in Love which is based on one of his plays as well as starring him I think?
