Directed by John Madden, and written by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, Shakespeare in Love (1998) brought new life to 16th Century English Playhouses and took home a slew of accolades and awards including the Best Picture Oscar. Presenting a historical-fiction scenario about the inspiration behind William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", Shakespeare in Love is full of style, Renaissance-period detail and a wondrous range of emotions. Gwyneth Paltrow looks ravishing, lusciously photographed, showcasing her elegant physique and demeanor... and she deservedly won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role. The rest of the cast is great as well, including Joseph Fiennes as Shakespeare, Geoffrey Rush, Colin Firth, Ben Affleck, Tom Wilkinson and Judi Dench.
