In 1951, [[Warner Bros.]] released [[A Streetcar Named Desire (1951 film)|a film adaptation of the play]], directed by [[Elia Kazan]]. Malden, Brando, Dennis, and Hunter reprised their Broadway roles. They were joined by [[Vivien Leigh]] from the London production in the part of Blanche. The movie won four [[Academy Awards]], including three acting awards (Leigh for [[Academy Award for Best Actress|Best Actress]], Malden for [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor|Best Supporting Actor]] and Hunter for [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress|Best Supporting Actress]]), the first time a film won three out of four acting awards (Brando was nominated for [[Academy Award for Best Actor|Best Actor]] but lost). Composer [[Alex North]] received an Academy Award nomination for this, his first film score. Jessica Tandy was the only lead actor from the original Broadway production not to appear in the 1951 film.<ref name="Cohan1997">{{Cite book |last=Cohan |first =Steven |page=254 |title=Masked Men: Masculinity and the Movies in the Fifties |location=Bloomington, Indiana |publisher=[[Indiana University Press]] |year=1997 |isbn=978-0-253-21127-9 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UACyelofecEC&q=%22allan+gray%22+suicide+blanche&pg=PA254 |access-date=July 11, 2008 }}</ref> The ending was slightly altered. Stella does not remain with Stanley as she does in the play.

[[Pedro Almodóvar]]'s 1999 [[Academy Award]]-winning film ''[[All About My Mother]]'' features a Spanish-language version of the play being performed by some of the supporting characters and the play plays an important role in the film. However, some of the film's dialogue is taken from the 1951 film version, not the original stage version.

The 1973 [[Woody Allen]] film ''[[Sleeper (1973 film)|Sleeper]]'' includes a late scene in which Miles (Woody) and Luna ([[Diane Keaton]]) briefly take on the roles of Stanley (Luna) and Blanche (Miles).

It was noted by many critics that the 2013 Academy Award-winning [[Woody Allen]] film ''[[Blue Jasmine]]'' had much in common with ''Streetcar'' and is most likely a loose adaptation. It shares a very similar plot and characters, although it has been suitably updated for modern film audiences.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Movie Review: Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine Is Perhaps His Cruelest-Ever Film|url=http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2013/07/movie-review-blue-jasmine-woody-allen|work=[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]|date=July 26, 2013|access-date=September 12, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Blue Jasmine: Woody Allen's excellent homage to A Streetcar Named Desire|url=http://www.tri-cityherald.com/2013/08/22/2529785/blue-jasmine-woody-allens-excellent.html|work=[[Tri-city Herald]]|access-date=September 12, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140429161626/http://www.tri-cityherald.com/2013/08/22/2529785/blue-jasmine-woody-allens-excellent.html|archive-date=April 29, 2014|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
