William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (1996) is probably my favorite film of all time. It didn't hurt that I had a massive crush on Leonardo DiCaprio, but never has one movie impacted me on an emotional and sensory level like this one. There is dazzling cinematography and art direction, gorgeous sets and sexy costuming (Claire Danes' angel costume was actually by Miu Miu). Fittingly enough, the film's art director and set decorator were nominated for Oscars in 1997 in their respective categories.
