if you haven't seen it, the 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet is fantastic, it's a re-setting of the story as a war between drug cartel "families" in "Verona Beach" (think 90s Miami). The whole thing is absolutely over-the-top and campy, yet actually manages to be probably the most accurate version of the story - it preserves all the dialog/etc and presents it in a digestible modern context. The opening sequence is one of my favorite scenes of all time. Can't find a copy that is both good quality and full length but: cut but good quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEzskNtFnIY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEzskNtFnIY full but lower quality: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1kkig https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1kkig Shakespeare was the "trashy pulp novel" of his day and I'd like to think he'd have loved it.
