Firstly, this is the definitive version of Shakespeare's play. As a matter of fact, it's the only movie that brings me joy and sadness at the same time. There's definitely something about it that makes it very special. I can't get enough of it, yet I don't want to watch it too often, because it moves me so deeply. In fact, whenever I watch this movie, it haunts me for weeks, and never fails to make me feel like crying in the end. It overwhelmed me in indescribable ways, and still does so today. Then I saw it a second time about ten years later, and was so impressed by it that I found it hard to sleep that night, and quickly became obsessed with it. I wish I had already been born in 1968 to be able to see it in a theater! I happened to watch it on TV for the first time in 1986 as a little girl, and I just thought that Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey were the most gorgeous people and the best-matched couple ever. This is my favorite movie, my one and only cult movie, and by far the most beautiful I've ever seen. Words cannot express how much I love "Romeo and Juliet".
