I'm a big fan of the Romeo and Juliet story, especially since the movie version with Claire Danes came out.
Was that the one with the supremely untalented Leonardo DiCraprio in it? Never saw it, 'cause I prefer my men to look like men, not adolescent girls.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio either. But he's easy to overlook -- most everthing else about the movie was crazy and beautiful and really well done. Claire Danes was perfect -- just cute as a button. Overall it may be my single all-time favorite movie.
Some other Shakespeare movies are also well done -- I liked the version of Hamlet with Ethan Hawke, and 12th Night directed by Tervor Nunn in 1996.
