R&J is my favorite movie. Baz did some serious work that I think would have made Shakespeare proud. I can hardly wait to see what he does with Alexander the Great.
Maybe it's just 'cause I saw Zephirelli's (sp.?) version of Romeo and Juliet right before I saw the Lurhmann version, but I thought Romeo + Juliet was awesome. Luhrmann's very clever with cinematography, creativity, etc.
My favorite Baz Lurhmann movie is Romeo and Juliet. I love how he came up with the idea of making the movie modern. I love how he uses guns instead of swords. I also like the the chemistry between Clarie Danes and Leonardo Dicaprio.
