The Reduced Shakespeare company version is the one I like the best though. Eh heh.

the vocab in the di Caprio version is actually closer to the play's original than this version, interestingly enough.

Verily, oh noble youth, do I joyfully pass time in shared delight with thee. Thy marveled wit and discourse, as thou delvest to mine all hidden sooth. bring fierce amazement to my heart. Huzzah, my winsome mate.

Please please see the Leonardo di caprio 1996 version. It’s a modern take on it and so well done.

Most of the great Shakespeare movies are divided either between Franco Zefirelli and Kenneth Branagh:
In addition to R&J, Zefirelli also had the genius inspiration to cast angry-mad Mel Gibson as angry-"mad" Hamlet in the 1990 version, and to perfectly cast Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor as the feuding Petruchio & Kate in the 1967 "Taming of the Shrew".
Branagh, OTOH, reinvented the Shakespeare movie by turning 1989's "Henry V" into an action drama, and '93's "Much Ado About Nothing" back into a cute Italian-scenery rom-com.

Key word being "Crazy". (As in "Ken Russell's Romeo + Juliet".)

Baz Luhrmanns Romeo and Juliet next just for the crazy beautiful spectacle that are his movies. So really any Baz of his notable first 3 films would be great (Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, and Moulin Rouge).
