I think that Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes were great but I think Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey just had something more. I can’t really describe it, it’s just like you can believe they’re truly Romeo and Juliet whereas with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes I just feel that. However I know that other will feel differently :)

I love Shakespeare and the authenticity of it, so I prefer the 1968 one. Also, I liked that they were played by teenagers. It made the story much more believable for me.

KatyBliss picked Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey:
By far! Much more romantic and passionate. In the 1996 version, I felt like all the machine guys and modernization were a real distraction from the innocence and beauty with which the story was intended. DiCaprio is a great actor and he portrayed Romeo pretty well, but the chemistry between him and Claire Danes was wrong. It didn't feel natural, and in spite of Leo's acting skills, I found the passion not-so-believable. Maybe it was the age of the actors, or maybe I just pictured Juliet to be a little less levelheaded and more infatuated due to the fact that she's supposed to be thirteen.

In the 1968 version, we see that sometimes simplicity is the best. It followed the play flawlessly (except for a few details, like Romeo killing Paris in the monument), and the chemistry was perfect! Whiting and Hussey were great for their roles, and I could see the passion all the way through. Left me teary-eyed and with a much firmer understanding of Shakespeare's theme of teenage love at first sight. One of my favourite movies of all time!

leonardo and claire did a better job they had amazing chemistry, watching the 1968 version I felt they didn't really love each other however watching the 1996 version I felt more passion between them

no1drwhofan picked Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey:
I like the traditional version more, as it went more by the book and complied with Shakespeare.
The modern one was too modern-cars, guns, petrol, ecstacy, the lovers falling in the pool, the elevator, girls in bikinis...
I still love you, Leonardo! Don't hate me for my verdict!
