Product: Romeo and Juliet [Region 2] (1968)
Rating: 5.0
Simply the Best! Better than all the rest!
After all these years and endless remakes, this version staring Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting is still the best version of Romeo & Juliet. I still remember getting goosebumps watching this for the first time in high school. The music composed by Nino Rota is hauntingly excellent and the acting is topnotched. Most people consider this film to be a tragedy, but in my opinion, the true tragedy is the fact that the excellent leads (Hussey & Whiting) were never able to progress any higher in their careers.
