A feast for the eyes, Romeo + Juliet tells the classic story of the 2 star-crossed lovers, but set in modern-day Verona Beach. The Montagues and Capulets each run their own business empire, which makes them fierce rivals. Despite this animosity, their kids meet and fall helplessly in love. Too bad their dalliance will soon end in tragedy.

The movie is cinematic to the extreme and features some stunning performances, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes both in great form. Romeo + Juliet may feature gunfights and ecstasy, but the timeless passion is still there. Even better, the movie successfully stands the test of time – it feels just as fresh today as it did back in the 90s.
