Romeo and Juliet
Film
It's Romeo and Juliet with vamps, but no bite...even a reference to Shakespeare's tragedy in the film. The trouble with this fitfully entertaining sequel is that Romeo and Juliet are separated for almost two-thirds of the film. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have a genuine...

More on Romeo and Juliet
Description from Wikipedia:
Romeo and Juliet (1968) is a movie adaptation of the William Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet. The film's tagline is "No ordinary love story…"
The film was directed by Franco Zeffirelli, and stars Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey. It won Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design; it was also nominated for Best Director and Best Picture. Sir Laurence Olivier spoke the film's prologue and epilogue and dubbed the voice of the Italian actor playing Lord Montague, but was never credited in the film.
The film's "love theme", written by Nino Rota, is widely recognized in the UK because of its use by the disc jockey Simon Bates in his "Our Tune" feature. There have been several different versions of the song released in the U.S., the most successful by Henry Mancini, whose instrumental rendition of the theme became a number one hit in the United States in June 1969. There were two different sets of English lyrics to the song. The film's version is called "What Is a Youth", with lyrics by Eugene Walter. An alternate version, called "A Time for Us", featured lyrics penned by Larry Kusik and Eddie Snyder. A third version is called "Ai Giochi Addio" with lyrics by Elsa Morante, and has been performed by opera singers such as Luciano Pavarotti and Natasha Marsh. Josh Groban performed another version titled "Un Giorno Per Noi", an Italian version of "A Time For Us".
