If by this you mean screen adaptations of Shakespeare's plays which have a modern setting, but use Shakespeare's words, you might want to watch Romeo+Juliet, directed by Baz Luhrmann with Leonardo diCaprio and Claire Danes, 1996; Hamlet with Patrick Stewart and David Tennant, 2010; Macbeth directed by Geoffrey Wright and starring Sam Worthington, 2006; and Richard Loncraine's adaptation of Richard III set in the 1930's and starring Sir Ian McKellen, 1995.

If you mean screenplays which use plot elements of Shakespeare's plays but create new dialogue for them, the BBC adapted Macbeth, The Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado About Nothing and A Midsummer Night's Dream with new dialogue and settings as a series called Shakespeare Retold in 2007. Even further removed from Shakespeare are films inspired by Shakespearean plots such as 10 Things I Hate About You (inspired by Taming of the Shrew) or O (inspired by Othello)
