Posted April 6, 200619 yr These teen film were all inspired in some way by the works of William Shakespeare, however which film is the best?
April 7, 200619 yr Other - "Richard III", the version with Ian McKellen and no, it is not strictly speaking a straight adaption because it's transported to the 1930s and features Richard as the leader of a quasi-Fascist Govt as its main plot, even though it does use Shakespeare's dialogue... The Baz Luhrman take on "Romeo and Juliet" is pretty damned good as well...
April 7, 200619 yr Author The Baz Luhrman take on "Romeo and Juliet" is pretty damned good as well... forgot about that one!
April 11, 200619 yr Author What about West Side Story? well even though i've never seen that one, it's more of an oldie musical isnt it? and not a teen comedy which i've seen. apart from old horror films which i'm only now discovering I dont really do that many films that are older than about 1999. (even romeo and juliet is pushing it, but i've seen that on tv). thats why it wasnt mentioned, i suppose
April 11, 200619 yr West Side Story is one of the best films EVER :wub: It's too far beyond this category for me!
