Has anyone else seen Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet"?
I really loved this movie, & I find I could watch this again & again. I think it was the whole style of the film, the composition of everything, the magic in the love scenes and the way that the acting delivered the message & thus freeing the Shakespearean language from its cage of obscurity. I found it a refreshing, entertaining and artistic film experience.
I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this movie, and what other movies like this could be recommended?
"Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in. "

Macbeth is being remade in a similiar fashion to 'Romeo and Juliet' as we speak.
Throne of Blood by Karasawa was an excellent version of McBeth as far as theme and mood go. If you want strictly Shakespeare the Samurai will throw you as they don't use a single are't thou in the entire movie. ;?)
