One movie i found that had many instances of plots and ideas from Shakespeare plays was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. One of there parts was when the principal was out looking for Ferris and he finds himself in an pizza parlor. He thinks he sees him and he walks up to the person and says something mean, and the her person turns around and its not him showing mistake identity. It seems like when there is a mistake identity in a Shakespeare play it is funny and in Ferris Bueller's Day off it was too.
Another instance where there is a plot in the movie Ferris Bueller's day off that is like one from Skakespeare is how Cameron's dad loves his car more that life itself. Although they didn't show the part at then end when Cameron faces his day you know he has to choose between the car and his son. This is kind of like a love triangle in that there are two things he loves and they conflict eachother so he has to chose one. Since the car was destroyed in the end and Cameron is taking the blame for it i think his father will choose Cameron becasue he is sticking up for himself.

Looks like you have a really good grasp of Shakespear's themes. The movie you compared the themes to really fit as well. Good job. =]
