There actually have been many feature films made from Jack and the Beanstalk over the years, in fact too many to list there. More interesting, perhaps, are the fairly contemporary films that are roughly based on the Jack and the Beanstalk myth. The story in Die Hard 2: Die Harder can be traced to the action sequences in JATB, as well as subplots in Die Hard with a Vengeance and Live Free or Die Hard, and roughly the first act of Die Harder They Fall. Also, Joel and Ethan Coen's Fargo is purported to have been based roughly on JATB. And most recently, High-Rise modernizes the JATB story for the 21st Century.
