Fair Verona becomes Manhattan in the 1950s, where rival gangs the Jets and the Sharks are embroiled in a bitter turf war, and former Jet Tony (Richard Beymer) romances the Sharks’ leader’s sister Maria (Natalie Wood) from the bottom of a fire escape. It speaks to the brilliance of Shakespeare that when we reimagine his plays in strange new places, they work all the better - and it speaks to the perfection of Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins’ West Side Story that it beat out all these lush Renaissance retellings for the top spot among Romeo and Juliet movies.

It’s not straight Shakespeare, but it’s probably the most affectionate movie on this list - with a perfectly sad, sweet, non-double-suicide ending. The script by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, the latter of whom had previously reimagined Shakespeare with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, cleverly works in countless references to and devices from Shakespeare’s plays, and incorporates much of the original text of Romeo and Juliet through the actors’ rehearsals, which is performed as well as it is in any full-blown adaptation. When William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) has terrible writer’s block and owes his theater a play, he finds his muse in the beautiful Viola de Lesseps (Gwyneth Paltrow), a noblewoman who dreams of being onstage.
