Romeo and Juliet

Today we saw the new Romeo and Juliet movie.  It was directed by Carlo Carlei and stars Douglas Booth as Romeo.  It was quite good, really.  I've also seen the version with Leonard Whiting as Romeo (directed by Franco Zeffirelli and released in 1968).  I was too young to see it in 1968, but when I did see it in my teens - and I saw Romeo - YOWZA!  He was gorgeous!  I developed an immediate, huge crush on Leonard Whiting.  Oh, Juliet was OK but Romeo was absolutely dreamy.  Now I've seen Douglas Booth as Romeo and it was yet another YOWZA moment!  He's pretty dreamy too.  I don't know which I like better.  You can decide for yourself.
