"Beware of the Franciscan friars."[[/labelnote]]]]
A 1986 [[TheFilmOfTheBook movie adaptation]] of Creator/UmbertoEco's 1980 novel ''Literature/TheNameOfTheRose''. It was directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, and starred Creator/ChristianSlater, Creator/FMurrayAbraham, Creator/RonPerlman, Creator/MichaelLonsdale, and Creator/SeanConnery.

!! The film has examples of:
* AdaptationDistillation: The book is a detective mystery interwoven with 500 pages of incredible detail of the religious and political schism in the church that is nearly inscrutable to anyone without a post-graduate degree in Theology and 14th Century Political History. (Or, reasonably arguably, anyone but Creator/UmbertoEco.) The movie drops most of the Theology, History and Politics in favor of the detective story.
* AdaptationDyeJob: William is blond in the book, but Sean Connery (and later John Turturro) are not.
* AdaptationExpansion: The miniseries adds a subplot involving the daughter of Fra Dolcino, who survives the Dulcinite revolt and tries to take revenge on Bernardo Gui.
* AdaptedOut: The Swedish monk Benno of Uppsala was cut from the film, as are the blacksmith and Judge Alinardo.
* AdaptationNameChange: Malachi the librarian is renamed Malachia in the film, for some reason.
* AnachronisticAnimal: Narrowly averted in the movie adaptation. There's a scene including a short shot featuring pigs; the director intended to use modern, pink pigs but the historical consultant pointed that pink pigs were anachronic and medieval pigs were black or brown. Since they couldn't find black pigs in time, the pigs have been dyed for the shooting.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Pretty much the only thing the film version gets right about the historical Bernardo Gui is that he was an Inquisitor during the fourteenth century. While Gui did convict large numbers of heretics during his tenure, only about five percent of them were executed; he far preferred to prove heresies wrong and to reconcile heretics with the church rather than kill them, and he was always more scholar and administrator than zealot and crusader. He's less of a cackling arch-villain in the novel, but not by much. Neither he nor the Inquisition accused people of witchcraft either, for at the time the Church officially disbelieved it existed. Even later, the Inquisitions dealt mainly with heresy.
* BurnTheWitch: Brother Salvatore and Brother Remigio are burned at the stake as scapegoats by Father Bernardo Gui, leader of the Inquisition. Gui also tries to burn a local peasant girl, but [[SparedByAdaptation in the film she is rescued]] by [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized rebellious peasants]] who manage to kill Gui in the resulting chaos.
* CharacterExaggeration: The transmogrification of the saintly Ubertino da Casale (a minor character) from a well-educated, decent, pious (if slightly fanatical) old man with some hints of being a DirtyOldMan (teenaged Adso remarks how he hugs him very close and keeps touching him) to a [[MadOracle creepy]], [[CrypticConversation obtuse]] ButtMonkey who hits on Adso and is ridiculed by William. Note that the poor guy actually existed.
* CoverInnocentEyesAndEars: When Bernado Gui tears off the peasant's cloak, one monk covers an eye and closes the other, [[CovertPervert which he quickly opens again for a peek]].
* EekAMouse: The monks laugh when Berengar does the 'jump up on the chair' version.
* FriendOrIdolDecision: Adso, at the end of the film, chooses to follow his master rather than stay with the girl.
* {{Gonk}}: The abbot, the Greek translator, and Adelmo are pretty much the only three of the Benedictine monks who are not frightfully ugly. The worst is undoubtedly Creator/RonPerlman's Salvatore, who doesn't even look human.
* TheGrotesque: Adso is peering fearfully at some hideous gargoyles when the equally hideous Salvatore lurches at him out of the darkness, babbling nonsense.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Bernardo Gui in the film]]. This didn't happen in the book or in RealLife, in which he died quietly of natural causes (he was also older at the time, about 69 or 70) a couple of years after the time in which the movie takes place.
* MotiveRant: {{Downplayed}} in the movie, where the BigBad is more reactive and less prone to discussion; most of it is held while the [[VillainTeleportation villain is eluding the heroes]] throughout the library.
* ObfuscatingDisability: Creator/RonPerlman's version of the deformed, mentally disabled hunchback Salvatore is smarter than he seems. Unfortunately it doesn't work on Bernado, who simply tortures him until he gets the answers he wants.
* OminousLatinChanting: As expected in an abbey, it happens four times in-universe:
** After the first night, ''Urbs Jerusalem beata'':
-->Urbs Jerusalem beata
-->Dicta pacis visio
-->Quæ construitur in caelis
-->Vivis ex lapidibus
-->(x2)
