Mrs. P, its because if number one crush was a song that reminded you of when you two first started dating, #1 Crush by Garbage is also like track 1 on the soundtrack to the movie. i just strung together the info and decided that this was highly likely… i too am a huge fan of that movie. hahhahaha and i think it was this version that really captured my attention when i was way younger (in a single digit age) because this R+J had guns, and guns are cool to play with at arcades on the video games! a little boy with a desire for destructive weapons = 90's influence. hehehehe, just kidding!

anyways, off of the soundtrack, my favorite song is probably...

I studied R&J at school, too many years ago. Agree, the Baz Luhrmann film version was incredible, using the original Shakespearean script, but so brilliantly putting everything into a contempary and cool setting. I'm gonna dig out the DVD and watch it again. Am a big fan of Dicaprio, and a HUGE fan of Radiohead, and Talk Show Host is one of their best!

Don't apologise for liking the guns, so did I - did you notice, in the film all the guns had names? Sorry, could go on for hours…! Listening to film soundtrack as I post...

p.s. another fave film of mine - WELL before your time, and nearly before mine - is West Side Story, based on R&J, have you seen it? Knock-out soundtrack, albeit a bit dated in places.
