The 1968 "Romeo & Juliet" film, door Franco Zeffirelli. And starring Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey as Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. I love this movie for many reasons. #1. For the depth of Love that Romeo & Juliet find within each other, even after learning that they both fell in love with thy enemy. #2. I Love the Action. The Sword fight between Mercutio and Tybalt; where Tybalt accidentally stabs and kills Mercutio, and instead of saying so, he runs off with his gang. Then Romeo's deliverance of becoming so irate with Tybalt for killing Mercutio, that it entails a heated sword fight between Tybalt & Romeo. But this fight is meer about "love" I believe, than anything else. It's amazing in every way! The death scene is not my favorite, but I think it helps the young folk see that doing things in "haste" will only turn out badly. It is best to think about life & death situations, and what really a person SHOULD do, responsibly. Plus, Franco Zeffirelli, who also made the INCREDIBLE, "Jesus Of Nazareth" (a MUST SEE MOVIE), I find is a VERY Passionate Director/Producer of film. EVERY ONE of his films is GREAT! He pulls out ALL STOPS to make the Movie the BEST EVER! And he does it so Eloquently!! Love that guy! ;D So, there u have it. "Why" I LOVE the 1968 "Romeo & Juliet" Movie. Plus, on a quick note, it is the closest to Shakespeare's writings of the story, and it is a Classic/Epic Love Story!! I LOVE IT! :D Juliet
