* 2001: A Space Odyssey, a 1968 science fiction film directed by Stanley Kubrick!. Besides the title, there are also other influences of the Homeric Odyssey on the film!.
* "The Odyssey", a made for TV movie from 1997 made by Hallmark Entertainment and directed by Andrei Konchalovsky is a slightly abbreviated version of the tale which encompasses Homer's epic!. It stars Armand Assante, Greta Scacchi, Isabella Rossellini and Vanessa L!. Williams!.
* The movie O Brother, Where Art Thou!? has the basic plot of The Odyssey;[9] Joel and Ethan Coen admit to basing the movie loosely on the Odyssey (and explicitly reference it in the opening credits) but insist that they haven't read it!.
* The film Paris-Texas (1984) by Wim Wenders has broad allusions to the Odyssey!. Wim Wenders explained on Australian SBS television that he wanted to make a film about a man coming out of hell to reunite his family and reread the epic prior to commencing the film!.
* The anime Ulysses 31 featured a science-fiction tale of a hero trying to get back to his wife Penelope!.

Well, none really that I know of!. O Brother Where Art Thou is pretty comparabale!. George Clooney is in it and it's actually pretty entertaining!. BUT if you are just trying to find a replacement for reading the actual story then sorry, you are out of luck!. You might just try Sparknotes!.com, it's really useful (even for me, a college senior!!!)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I just recently saw the movie O Brother Where art thou, with George Clooney!. I am not 100 percent sure, but I think when the opening credits were rolling, I think it said based on the novel "The Odyssey, by Homer or based on Homer's The Odyssey!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

O Brother Where Art Thou mirrors The Odyssey almost exactly, right down to his journey to see his wife, who is being courted by others; the cyclops, the sirens, an absence of many years, etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
