 18  6.7  6.7 Sherlock Holmes if Dr Watson were the true brains behind all their famous crime solving. Kingsley and Cane are brilliant in this.
Elfflame's rating:
 
295 6.4 6.7 Yes, Scrooge has been done ad infinitum since Dickens first wrote it, but this one actually has some heart, and a whole lot of humor.
Elfflame's rating:
 
642 6.6 7.4 Not entirely a retelling here, but a suggestion that Romeo and Juliet was based on actual happenings. (Unlikely, but still amusing.)
Elfflame's rating:
 
893 6.7 6.9 The language was Shakespeare, but the setting was pure modern-day. Baz Luhrmann did an excellent job translating the Shakespearean English in a way that even modern-day teenagers could take interest in.
Elfflame's rating:
976 7 6.8 Taming of the Shrew in a modern Seattle High School. A great translation.
Elfflame's rating:
652 7.8 8.2 The rediculousness of the Christ tale, as told by Monty Python.
Elfflame's rating:
 
2525 7.5 8 What if the Ogre were the hero of the fairy tales we all know and love?
Elfflame's rating:
790 5.8 5.5 This is not only a re-imagining, but also draws from all the old classic Hollywood horror films, to excellent effect.
Elfflame's rating:
35 6 6.5 Contradicts Sherlock Holmes canon, but what would have happened if Holmes and Watson had met while still in school?

Description
A list of movies where the story is well-known and shown from a new point of view, or in a new setting, or otherwise provides new details to the story that existed before. Fairy tales with a new twist. Shakespeare's tales told in a new way. A remake that adds a new twist to the original story. Any ideas welcome. Related list: Modern Shakespeare by Abhijeet
