Best ever production on film. Watched it in high school.
True story: one of our English teachers watched it over and over again, because, she said, she always hoped it would come out differently. (

This is the best Shakespeare I have ever seen on film and it is better than most of the stage versions, too. (

Gripping and romantic, with lead characters who are actually the right age. Beautiful costumes! (
