[tps_header]Romeo and Juliet (1968)[/tps_header]
Yes, I am sure many of you had to watch this sometime during high school. There is a reason for that. Director Franco Zefferelli did the play justice by casting youthful leads instead of older actors. It’s in that decision where he captures the vulnerability and ultimately the tragedy of this forbidden romance. He also garnered some controversy by showing underage nudity within the movie. When it comes to this play, this is the only version that I would willingly recommend (I’m looking at YOU Baz Luhrmann).
