Answer 6

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.  

Answer 7

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!!!).

Answer 8

    * 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 h**l 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.

    * The main character of Hayao Miyazaki's movie Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is named after the princess in the Odyssey.

    * The film To Vlemma tou Odyssea (Ulysses' Gaze) (1995) by Theo

    * The Spongebob Squarepants Movie has several points based on the Odyssey, including a bag of winds, and a diver akin to a cyclops.

    * In the documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, it is stated that the film Apocalypse Now takes some inspiration from the Odyssey.

Answer 9

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.

Answer 10

O Brother Where Art Thou?

one of the best movies I've ever seen.

George Clooney= Odysseus

The One Eyed Businessman = The Cyclops

And on and on.
