I must be the only one this thread that HATED Romeo + Juliet (with DiCaprio and Danes). Doesn't hold a candle to the 1960s Romeo & Juliet with Olivia Hussey.

I agree with Imran. A good Romeo and Juliet is one in which you want to **** Juliet like a wild animal.
Danes
Hussey
McKellen's Richard III

Well it wasn't just that
. I think it was an attempt to 'MTV-ize' Romeo & Juliet. I'm not sure if it was a good idea to try for the gang war setting .

Zeffereli's Romeo and Juliet - I didn't like it that much. In fact, I didn't even finish it. Felt sort of stilted to me.
Brannagh's films are great. In Much Ado About Nothing, Emma Thompson NAILS her performance. Really.
I'm looking forwards to Prospero's Books. I just hope it's not pretentious balls."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

Oh, it certainly is pretentious balls. However it's pretentious balls with such panache and visual impact that it carries it off with style.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

Pretentious balls with panache

Well, I hope it has sufficient quantity of panache then. I am, after all, a self-appointed expert on cinema, and I have seen a great deal of panache in my time."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

Peter Greenaway has never made a film that didn't disappear up his own arse- but, ye Gods he's a genius cinematographer. Every shot is framed like an old master, and he was the first director to really whip the arse off digital video technology.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

Oooh, that's good eating. I love sopping up the leftover panache with a piece of bread after the balls are all gone. Mmmm, good.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

Not as well as she nails the gardener's boy in Peter's Friends

Did anyone see that classic Who's Line Is It Anyway? skit.
It was "World's worst person to audition for Romeo and Juliet.
Tony Slattery won by coming up to the camera with a goatish expression and saying:

I've seen both. I love his Harry V.I'll pick another Branaugh adaptation, "Hamlet" (1996)
His "Henry V" is great as well .Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
