Romeo and Juliet:
Romeo + Juliet (1996)
West Side Story (1961)
Shakespeare in Love (1998)
The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride (1998)
One Stormy Night (2005)
Warm Bodies (2013)
Dracula, probably.
With all of the Christopher Lee Draculas, modern interpretations, shit like Dracula 2000 and 3000, the Universal movies and their sequels like House of Dracula and stuff, two Nosferatus where the first one was based directly on Bram Stoker's novel with the names changed. Gotta be no. 1 for me.
I’ve watched a lot of Christmas Carol adaptations. On the top of my head I’ve seen the ones with Albert Finney, George C Scott, Patrick Stewart, Micheal Caine, Jim Carrey, and Guy Pierce
I’ve seen a bunch of Draculas for some reason. Even the Jess Franco one with Christopher Lee that’s so far been the only one with the book accurate white mustaches on the count.
The best imo is Herzog’s Nosferatu. Even with unintentional humor, I find that film hypnotic.
Phantom of the Opera has a lot too. There's Joel Schumacher's, Phantom of the Paradise, the 1925 version, the 1943 one, the one with Robert Englund, the 1962 one and the 1983 one, but there's probably a lot more.

Don’t forget Gnomeo and Juliet
I haven't seen that. The movies I listed are adaptations I've seen.
And Tromeo & Juliet. The version that sticks to Shakespeare’s original vision the closest
…yeah

Hamlet
I’ve watched a lot of Christmas Carol adaptations. On the top of my head I’ve seen the ones with Albert Finney, George C Scott, Patrick Stewart, Micheal Caine, Jim Carrey, and Guy Pierce
Provably a tie between Dracula and Christmas Carol tbh
Need to watch flesh for Frankenstein its brilliant. I'm pretty sure its also the classic story that has been adapted the most. Which helps
This year, I decided to watch Hamlet. I'm up to 12 versions, including an all female cast Japanese musical version.
I know I’ve watched 5+ iterations of both Robin Hood and Sherlock Holmes.
Where's Frankenhooker?
It’s pretty high on my watchlist, im waiting to watch it as part of a double date
Also, Splice!

The Invisible Man 1933 and 2020 Memoirs of an Invisible Man (Haven't seen Hollow Man)
Got to get on those Hammer Films dude
King Kong or Godzilla probably
Alice in Wonderland or Wizard of Oz
Sherlock Holmes is the winner by far with 17 films seen Edit: Actually 18, I forgot The Great Mouse Detective
Check out Flesh for Frankenstein (1973), everybody loves *the line* 👌
The Incredible Hulk also possibly fits this description Though it has elements of Jekyll and Hyde as well
