An allusion is a passing reference to a line, character or situation in another literary work. It does not mean that the one work is an adaptation of the other, as West Side Story is of Romeo and Juliet.
Shakespeare's work is so deeply imbedded in English that he is alluded to constantly. There are hundreds of thousands of movies and television programs which allude to Shakespeare. Here is a very short list of examples:
Willy Wonka (1971) has numerous allusions
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country not only has an allusion in the title but there is a character who quotes incessantly and annoyingly from Shakespeare.
Clueless
LA Story
Withnail and I
