5/5 Best Version of the Classic! Highly Recommended!
  by CFH (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA)
The Franco Zeffirelli production of "Romeo and juliet" is by far my all time favorite version of the classic play. Staring Olivia Hussey as Juliet, this movie really captures the feel of the period and brings the story to life. The sets and costumes were simply perfect and the feast scene with the dancing and moving song is perhaps the most powerful movie memory I have from my teen years. The emotion of the movie still brings a tear to my eye at the end.

We watched this with our teen daughter who wanted to try out for her senior class play. She read along and practiced the lines to get the emotions correct.

This is a fantastic story, brought to life in a stunning movie. Highly Recommended!

5/5 A Word of Beauty

I remember when this movie first came out, all the high school kids who hated Shakespeare flocked to the theater and had their eyes and their minds and their hearts opened in a new way. The photography is incredible. This movie is a 'must see' by everyone. I just purchased it so I can watch it again with my 13-year-old granddaughter, who is already a Shakespeare fan.

5/5 The Penultimate Love Story
  by Richard A. Rathman (Bellmore, New York USA)
This is a wonderful movie depicting the greatest love story of all time. By using teenage actors, Leonard Whiting & the beautiful Olivia Hussey, Franco Zefferelli made this Shakespereian tragedy timeless. The dialogue is superb along with Nino Rota's fantastic score. I remember standing on line with my very pregnant wife waiting to see this film in June of 1969. Anyone who has ever been in love will appreciate this film.

5/5 So Romantic...
  by Christine Hovhannessian (Los Angeles)
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Nothing is hotter than seeing Romeo's butt in the consummation scene. Immature as it may sounds it still makes me giddy, alright!? Hollywood can never outdo this classic, however hard they try.
