Unfortunately, ‘The Pardoner’s Tale’ has not yet been made into a film but it is included in Pasolini’s 1972 version of ‘The Canterbury Tales’, a very bold and stylized version of Chaucer’s work. The BBC made an animated version of ‘The Canterbury Tales’ in 2003 with a modern twist for each Tale. The two adaptations are worth a look to see how Chaucer’s work can be transferred to the screen but as far as I know there is no direct adaptation of ‘The Pardoner’s Tale’ into a film and that would be a shame because it is such a dark and strange Tale.

I’ve been trying to track down ‘The Pardoner’s Tale’ from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales as a movie. Alas, none seem to exist. However the 1972 film The Canterbury Tales by Pier Paolo Pasolini does contain a version of The Pardoner’s Tale. However this is adapted in a rather provocative style by Pasolini and is part of a trilogy of films. So, although of interest to those who like medieval stories, this is not strictly the same ‘Pardoner’s Tale’ as read in schools, as there are significant differences from the original version.
A fully realized film version of The Pardoner's Tale doesn't exist, but that hasn't stopped many artists and directors from bringing elements of the most stylized of all Chaucer's tales to life. A great place to start would be with the 2003 BBC animated 'Canterbury Tales' in which The Pardoner's Tale is adapted in a very modern way and could almost be considered a re-interpretation of the original work. Even better is Derek Jarman's 'The Canterbury Tales: A Retelling' from 1998 which is well worth watching even if you're not familiar with the original work. There's just nothing like seeing Chaucer's brilliant 14th-century medieval stories on the big screen, even in an altered form.

Medieval literature is a very close field of mine, and many of its tales have already been wonderfully adapted to the screen. Unfortunately, “The Pardoner’s Tale” hasn’t been made into a film yet. There are several adaptations of “The Canterbury Tales”, but so far the most famous and complete version is the film by the Italian film director Pier Paolo Pasolini from 1972. The segment “The Pardoner’s Tale” is very memorable but also very stylized.
A more 'family-friendly' version is the BBC's animated series of the Canterbury Tales, released in 2003, where 'The Pardoner's Tale' is re-told in modern times, but again this deviates somewhat from the original story. Another film version, of several of the tales for TV, The Canterbury Tales (1989) includes 'The Pardoner's Tale' but this is less well known and somewhat difficult to obtain. There are also several stage versions which retain the unique dark humor and comedy of the original tale, and are perhaps a better way to experience it.

Yes, I wish someone would make a decent film of Chaucer’s ‘The Pardoner’s Tale’, a brilliant short story of greed and a sharp expose of a number of important morality tales. I suppose it hasn’t been made into a single film as yet, but it gets a few outings in movies that generally include all of The Canterbury Tales.
Another animated adaptation of ‘The Pardoner’s Tale’ is the 2003 BBC production made by Film4 and BBC1 in association with x Gear. In this version the medieval story is told in modern day. There’s also a 1975 BBC production of ‘The Canterbury Tales’ which includes ‘The Pardoner’s Tale’. However this is an old TV production and, therefore, not of the greatest quality. Perhaps someone such as Guillermo del Toro would like to make a film of this story. The visuals would be fantastic.
