My Own Private Idaho (1991), directed by Gus Van Sant, is a loose adaptation of Shakespeare's King Henry plays that uses various cultural references including beer bottles, Madonna songs, and The Simpsons episodes to connote the themes of the original plays, demonstrating how cinema can reference classical literature through contemporary cultural elements.
