The best version of "Richard III" that I've ever seen was a 1995 movie that placed it in a 1930s fascist England. "West Side Story" is a street gang musical based on Romeo and Juliet that is widely held in great esteem (unlike the movie "Romeo + Juliet"). One of my absolute favorite plays is "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead," an absurdist take on "Hamlet" from the POV of two bit characters who are slowly becoming aware of their unimportance and impending death by plot. Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood" and "Ran" are two of my favorite samurai movies but are based on "Macbeth" and "King Lear," respectively.
The problem is that Hollywood is generally too lazy and too focused on churning out easy money to get it right. If Hollywood rehashed old ideas with style, it wouldn't be so much of a problem. Unfortunately, "Revenge of the Nerds" isn't exactly Shakespeare, and Hollywood's not doing this for any sort of "artistic merit."

And no 70's dry-humping would be complete without a remake of "Jaws."
