Why are modern movies based on shakespeare?
Shakespeare's plays hold a special place in our culture: the stories and words are well-known to most people, because Shakespeare is the world's best known playwright, bar none. And also, of course, they are also extremely good plays on the whole--well-written, thought-provoking, exciting, and generally entertaining. So from the beginning of cinema, filmmakers have wanted to get some of that magic on the screen. The first Shakespeare movie was made in 1899, and there are always several new Shakespeare movies being made. Some of these, at least, follow Shakespeare's scripts closely in terms of plot and dialogue, using the Bard's words with little or no additions. Others which claim to be "Shakespeare movies" are totally new scripts whose plots bear a relationship, sometimes quite vague, to those of Shakespeare's plays. Generally these films are trying to cash in on an association, however distant, with something by Shakespeare (the Lion King is the most blatant example of this). The fact that filmmakers will stretch a point to try to associate their films with Shakespeare illustrates the fact that Shakespeare's name sells due to his immense popularity.

Was Shakespeare a poet?
Basically William Shakespeare was a poet who thought in dramatic terms. Even his plays were 99.99% poems and songs. He loathed the strenuous labour of putting plays on stage after the majesty of writing them. But to win his bread he had no other way. He always dreamed of his plays being read and studied as major literary works, rather than being acted on stage to win momentary applause and sustenance money.
One of Shakespeare's bitter enemies was?
Shakespeare did not have any bitter enemies, least of all his fellow playwrights such as Christopher Marlowe or Ben Jonson. Jonson, we know, was a friend and admirer of Shakespeare. Because Marlowe died so early in his career and before Shakespeare really got going, Marlowe didn't have much to say about Shakespeare, but Shakespeare admired Marlowe and included homages to him in his own plays. Playwrights of that time often worked together on plays, and we know that Shakespeare collaborated with John Fletcher late in his career, and many believe he also collaborated with George Poole on some of his early plays. The closest we hear from any of his contemporaries about anyone disliking Shakespeare in any way was Greene in his 1592 pamphlet Groatsworth of Wit, who talked about Shakespeare in rather unflattering terms (calling him an "upstart crow" for example) because Shakespeare did not have a university education like most of the playwrights of that time.
