25 Great Movies Inspired By Folk Tales

The folk tale tradition from fairy tales to ghost stories has origins stretching back to the start of human speech. The art of oral storytelling predates the written word, and has been used for time immemorial for recording information, teaching morality, and untangling some of life s greatest mysteries.
Stacker surveyed film history and compiled a list of movies across decades, countries, and genres that drew their inspiration from the folk tale tradition, with accompanying IMDb and Metacritic data. The 25 films chosen are organized alphabetically. To qualify, the film had to be inspired by a folk or fairy tale (or tales) and have at least 2,500 votes. Some that made the list are direct reimaginings of classic tales, such as
Beauty and the Beast? Not quite; the Czech title of Juraj Herz’s 1978 fantasy is
Panna a netvor, which translates, much more fittingly, as
The Virgin and the Monster. This new release has a 15 certificate, a clear hint that the film wasn’t aimed at the under-tens. Ota Hofman’s version of poet František Hrubín’s stage script had been adapted as a children’s television film in 1971; Herz was initially unenthusiastic about directing a further adaptation, feeling that Jean Cocteau’s
La Belle et la Bête couldn’t be improved upon.
Panna a netvor makes for a darker, chillier companion piece to Cocteau’s fairy-tale.
