1998 - Shakespeare in Love: "Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter."

1998 Best Picture

Premiered December 3, 1998 in New York

Budget $25 Million

Gross $100 Million

This turned out to be a decent movie. By decent we mean, the story is interesting and the dialog is well written. The morality of the film was lacking and this seems to be a theme in the 90s. More on that in our summary of the 90s but now back to our thoughts on the movie itself: So many Oscar winners are so heavy and Shakespeare in Love is a nice change of pace and was the closest movie to a comedy that we have many in decades. Overall, it was good movie and a worthy winner.



Joel 
Favorite: I liked the climax and the ending of the movie. It was fun and wrapped up the story nicely. I also liked Judi Dench in the movie as the Queen.
Least Favorite: The filmmakers seemed to work hard to add nudity into the film. It could have been an even better movie without it.
