I really love Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo and Juliet.” It’s an amazing take on the story, and even when I watch it today I swoon over Leonardo DiCaprio (I mean, which girl didn’t?). And I used to be super into the soundtrack, particularly that awesome Radiohead song, “Talk Show Host” and Des’ree’s “Kissing You.” For years I really, really wanted to walk down the aisle to it (long before I had a boyfriend…yet somehow that didn’t stop me from practicing), but in the end I was in a more Nina Simone mood. However, I listened to that soundtrack this morning and I still think it’s a gorgeous song. I love that scene in the movie when it’s playing (when they first meet, shown below), and think it manages to capture that first-love feeling perfectly. I think it would make a beautiful song to walk down the aisle to (you can have the DJ only play a certain part), or your first dance song.
