One modern movie that Shakespeares plot is used in is the Spiderman trilogy. In Spiderman Harry is in love with Mary Jane, but so is Peter. Throughout the movie, Mary Jane starts to fall in love with Spiderman and has no idea its Peter. Peter disapoints Mary Jane and so in the second Spiderman movie, Mary starts to date Harry. Then at the end of the second movie, Spiderman saves her and she finds out its Peter. Then in the third movie Mary Jane gets engaged to the asternaught and Peter is still in love with her. This plot is very similar to the plot of A Midsummer Night's Dream. In both stories they have a love triangle.
Most movies these days are influenced by shakespearian plot ideas. I think that the Spiderman trilogy was based on this play because they both have love triangles. I don't think the plot was strickly based on that of Midsummer Night's Dream because in Spiderman Mary Jane doesnt have a father that is making her marry a certain man. I don't know of any movies that strickly follow a shakespearian plot but just the general ideas of love triangle, mistaken identities, and star crossed lovers.
