"Two households, both alike in dignity/In fair Verona (where we lay our scene/From ancient grudge break new mutiny,/Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean/From forth the fatal loins of these two foes/A pair of star-crossed lovers take their lives." These famous lines and the vivid language of Shakespeare's beloved play drive director Baz Luhrmann's cinematic interpretation. Welcome to Verona Beach, a sexy, violent other-world, neither future nor past, ruled by two rival families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Wealthy, selfish, ruthless and powerful, the parents share an enmity that has become the birthright of their offspring."

~ Because this is the greatest love story the world has ever known ~
~ Because noone has ever loved as Romeo and Juliet did ~
~ Because this is the saddest and most romantic love story we have ever heard of! ~
~ Because for never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo ~

Juliet: Do not swear at all. Or, if thou wilt, swear by the gracious self which is the god of my idolatry, and I'll believe thee.

For us much older folks...I saw Romeo and Juliet with Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey way back in middle school. It was pretty risque for the 60's. (Romeo was soo good looking).

I did see the newer Romeo and Juliet on DVD. It's been a long time ago, but I really enjoyed it too.

[Marissa]

LMAO the title is made of awesome thanks to Krysie :D

You're welcome!

"Either thou, or I, or BOTH must go with hiiiiiim!!!"


i love that movie!

[Taminar]

I didn't care for R+J. The Franco Zeffirelli version is very good, and I also have the RSC version, which is my favorite that I've seen. Shakespeare doesn't work without strong actors who understand what they're saying.

[Krysie]

OMG! They are strong actors. Wow.. that's all I will say LOL... but anyway, I loved this version! :heart:

[nLOVEw/Adam]

Krysie, maybe we like it b/c of the 'modern' twist it has... But I do have to total agree w/ you. Both Claire Danes and Leo did an excellent job in it; besides, Leo as Romeo, who could ask for more. :naughty:

I also loved the music from the movie... Very well done, I still like to listen to the music from the R&J soundtrack. :up:

[cyph0r]

I love this version the first time I saw it years ago as a gawky teenager and I still love it now as an adult :)

[Krysie]

Your so right Lea! ;)

I need to watch this again and soon

[JillianMarie]

Oh I used to love this movie.. now I want to go watch it .. I think it started my high shcool love for Leo .. back in the day :)

[sandram38]

It's certainly an interesting "take" on the classic

[Krysie]

We sure need to liven this thread up again :)

[nLOVEw/Adam]

I noticed that it is on TV on the FMC channel on Direct... I'd really like to see it. :heart: that version!

[Krysie]

I seen that last night! :) I watched some of it then Scott flipped it :thumbsdown: for that lol but I have the dvd :)

[nLOVEw/Adam]

I just bought the DVD of R&J and I couldn't wait... so I watched it. :heart:

[Krysie]

yay! i need to watch it again soon ;) i haven't seen the whole movie in a while ;)

[monetmelly]

thats like my favorite movie ever

[percept]

Undoubtedly it is considered to be the most tragic love-story of all time.

[nLOVEw/Adam]

^it is. :up: A grand Love/tragic Story... Leo and Claire pull it off beautifully.

[Marissa]

Definitely. ^^ :heart: One of my alltime favorites.

[nLOVEw/Adam]

If we all have this movie on DVD or whatever, we all should rewatch it. :D

[Marissa]

I have it on VHS. o_O Old school. :lol: Oh well, at least it's something.

[nLOVEw/Adam]

^Well, I did have it on VHS and it disappeared and I've been wanting it for a long time and finally I just Had to buy it. :hehe: It's been a while since I had last seen it... I had forgotten some of the Grand moments.

[Marissa]

True, I'll have to pop it in. Haven't seen it in years. <3

[nLOVEw/Adam]

Try not to watch it yet,... I'm on another set of movies... will take a bit to get back to where I can rewatch R&J again. ;) Can you do it? Can you wait...

[Marissa]

I'll have to. I'll watch later tonight. :D

[nLOVEw/Adam]

I'll prolly have to re-watch it later this week b-4 I leave to go get my boy... enjoy it when you watch it tonight. ;)

[Krysie]

Did you get a chance to watch it again? :)
