"O" was based on Othello
"10 Things I hate about You" based on Taming of the Shrew
"Ran" was based on King Lear
Much of John Irving's things have Oedipus characters.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence was based on 'Pinnocchio'
The Lost Boys was losely based on 'Peter Pan'
IMO, Star Wars (some of it) was taken from a 1974 episode of 'Gunsmoke' called 'The Tarnished Badge', guest starring Nick Nolte (who George Lucas wanted to play Han Solo but Nolte turned him down...lol) dressed in an identical costume to that Harrison Ford wears. The good sheriff turned bad, dressed from head to toe in black. The marshall trying to turn the sheriff back to the 'good side' of the law. Many other simularities but I got way side-tracked with my answer... sorry ;-)

Great Expectations is a classic book written by Charles Dickens. The latest movie Great Expectations, based on the book is pretty good.
