Romeo & Juliet (1978) - Part 1

[verdaofnoodlez]

This reminds me so much of Blackadder.. I can't take this play seriously anymore. And I regret nothing.

[BostonSecret45]

the dude at the beginning friar?

[Hermione2096]

Alan Rickman in the kind of legging that's too funny but we continue to love him 'cause he's so good (L) :D

[sami103196]

Is it just me or does Alan Rickman look like Spock in this movie ... ?

[SHANNONkmk]

only watching this because i have to write a essay on who did it better ? the 1978 version or the 1996 version and i have to say this one sucks compared to the 1996 version the acting is better and more realistic . , the lighting is better the costumes are better and especially the fights.

[lemurfan123]

I got goosebumps when the baby got stabbed with the sword.

[lemurfan123]

Thumbs up if you came for Alan Rickman.

[ryuichirapha]

OMFG its snape

[WildKitten46]

Can anyone be in a ridiculous costume with an awful haircut and yet look extremely sexy just standing there? 5:03

[songbird2332]

200 points to Slytherin.

[pichikita]

cute ass Alan!

[earthday1984TB]

"Look upon thy death" Awesome.

[TheAlanrickmanlover1]

Alan is so hot especially when he is like" Peace? Peace. I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee." i love him in the tights. It gives us a proper outline of his "fine white ass."

[loveprincess2446]

:)

[RainbowRarity]

Six people can't handle the sexyness of Alan Rickman.

[Keewaf]

the other day, I was really bored so I decided to watch this on netflix. I screamed when I saw Alan Rickman, what a great surprise!! o~o

[Isabellustration]

Wait, I thought "bite my thumb" was a saying, not literally go over and bite your thumb...

[SuperRandomDucky]

[Isabellustration]

Cool! You know, Romeo & Juliet is actually a really beauti–OH MY GOD!!!! ALAN RICKMAN IS IN THIS?!?!?!?!?! -3

[TheOrangeSunday]

Wtf the little girl gets stabbed wow doesn't even look like it

[zuruzuruzuru]

LOL at pre-sliced wooden tables. This is seriously bad, even for the 70s.

[0ThatCostsMoney0]

Obviously ... most people are hear for Alan Rickman ;)

[Luckydae14]

Only watching this because Alan Rickman's in here! :)

[ktbffh4ever]

alan rickman is definitely underrated, he deserves much more recognition!

[faheemrokz]

Alan comes into the play at 4:24

[TheGreatandLovable]

OMG He's so YOUNG!! D: I didn't even know he was in movies that young!!

[popcornzoe]

@TheGreatandLovable I think this was made-for-TV, actually. But this was his on-screen debut. He was in the RSC before this, though.

[7StringSeven]

LOL at 5:19 the guy just throws himself... he's not even in the scene before xD

[jh0nnuary]

[Ballet4Everz]

[Plunkett1916]

@Ballet4Everz Tybalt

[julesreverie]

I'm not here for Alan Rickman, I'm here for my damned, elusive Scarlett Pimpernel, the one and only Anthony Andrews

[zombielovely]

@julesreverie Yes! Me as well. I'm here for the lovely Anthony Andrews as well...although I am not altogether indifferent toward Alan Rickman being in here as wel! :)

[RuiFan22]

Thumbs up if you were on Wikipedia and saw Alan Rickman's earliest acting job was in this Romeo and Juliet Film. And you thought it would be on youtube and so you tried it out and then saw it was and was like........AWESOME! :D

[stevenduran1240]

Tybalts voice reminds me of Professor Snapes

[bloodmemories1234]

[CollaborationSeries]

@stevenduran1240 that because that's him!

[Lilim27]

@stevenduran1240 that's because it's the same actor, derp

[polkadotpolka123]

[xtremesnapefan]

Okay, so who else fangasmed when Alan spoke?

[kristinsixx123]

THE BABY :"""""""(

[happygamestvfun1]

@RecycleInc How could that sord even cut the baby? It was a thrusing sord not a samarai sord. The edges a not even that sharp. Expecialy considering the babey was raped in cloth...

[necessi7y]

wow. the baby was raped? with a samarai sord? Really? Do you not have little red squiggly lines to tell you that the English language is not for you? WTF are you doing watching Shakespeare, you epic failure?

[happygamestvfun1]

@necessi7y Samarai is a japanese word you arregent fool!

[necessi7y]

@happygamestvfun1

No, but "Samurai" is. "Sword" is also a word. As is "arrogant." Stay in school, kids.

[happygamestvfun1]

@necessi7y No its a chinese word you fool

[Mzcrazylover09]

awwwwwwww the poor baby and mother thats sad i have to watch this for school but dang



[kittkatkitty1]

who's the F@#!? alan whats his name

[alanrickman1221]

@kittkatkitty1 His name is alan rickman and he is an actor who has played in many different movies but i think the big one everyone is so hiped up on os that he plays professor severus snape in the harry potter series.

[VAMPTASTICALISTIC]

i like alan rickman better with long hair. and he looks better older i think

[IcyDragon004]

OMG!! I NEVER SEEN THIS DID THEY KILL A EFFING BABY!!!!???!!

[Sims2freakazoider]

Yeah. I think EVERYONE in the world here pretty much knows that Alan Rickman played Snape and is "extremely sexy." Please stop pointing it out. :)

[KawaiiKupcakes]

THE BABY. D: 

[Blueberrinka18]

Really like Alan Rickman in here xD It's the first movie I see with Alan when he is so young xD

And I love him in tights:P

[beyondbookworm]

i'm sorry, did that woman's baby just get stabbed? i'm getting ready to pack up and hike back over to the Zefferelli version.

[DizzyLizzyLockheart]

@beyondbookworm don't worry. the rest of the movie sticks to the script. the next time is just in 4.1 or so when the nurse ACCEPTS romeo's money instead of rejects it.

[chebello6x]

TYBALT!!!! bahaha, I watched this is english class....because my teacher loves Alan Rickman..............

[Jeshii117]

Alan looks so young!

[mollysangelique]

why,you,said,that,to,me,i,m,be­autyfull,as,i,m,bit,scarves,ic­,

[Babykiara92]

[TotallyTscopeTV]

Thumbs up if you're only here for Alan Rickman

[Lighthouserandoms]

@TotallyTscopeTV

I'd thumb that up 3 thousand times if I could. <3

[sweetiegrl41]

Tybalt, Tybalt, Severus Tybalt

[dysistheawesome]

I prefer crime fighting, sword swinging, brave Juliet to the original XD but it's still a lovely story.

[animesand]

Mmmm Alan Rickman is super sexy.

[StephanieGeez]

wtf is with the baby? didnt the sword hit his back? and then its randomly bleeding from the neck?

[cheetaz49]

oh my god... I didn't expect to see snape here :D lol

[TheEnchantressBee]

Alan Rickman is so dreamy... Even at 65!

[Plunkett1916]

@TheEnchantressBee Couldn't agree more!

[cheech730]

this is the worst acting i have ever seen

[XMandyAnNikkiLuvUX]

i find it weird how the 68 version is much more high tech than the 78 version.... and has anyone really thought about how pathetic and desperate romeo is? i mean i love this play as much as the next person and I'm reading the book in English.... but honestly! you've known the girl for not even an hour and you are willing to die for her??? grow some balls :P besides that i think its a great play..... g'job Shakespeare ;P

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

Dead Shepherd, now I find thy saw of might, 'Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?' (Phebe, As You Like It)

[and yes: There is an unfitting Shakespeare quote for almost every occasion in life]

[Mallisa25]

I can't believe sevrus snape is in this!!!!!!!

[g3g3ify]

Oh. my. GOD.

It's Snape O_O

[elsietabatha]

I like their ball-cups.

[singingllama213]

i'm pretty sure this was Alan Rickman's first big movie role

[diminade]

why did snape prance out in tights?

[farrockcutie14]

i readin this book english class!

[colinmcmb]

@farrockcutie14 Forsooth methinks thou hast the English tongue

Forsworn and let lie rotting in the mire.

Better yet to study John and Janet

Than utter English like an Essex prannet!

[elsietabatha]

@colinmcmb Showoff.

[farrockcutie14]

i readin this bookin english class!

[xsqueefluffx]

Did... Did I miss something or did that woman just throw herself on the ground?

[movielover80925]

It is Snape!!!! Damn he is as good looking then as he is now. and he has that voice!!!! He does not look 32 he looks so much younger!! I just love how those tights fit him ;-p.

[OneTrueLionessQueen]

thx 4 uploading i really like shakespeare plays and understand them and im only 14. thx 4 uploading :)

[SuperTasher]

I love his cute little skip in to the scene, makes me love him more. Only men skip :D xx

[LegoCreations123]

When we were watching this in school someone yelled out its Snape

[SwordOfPlantagenet]

That's a lovely shiner he's got there.

By the look of his black eye, I'd say he's already been in a scrap.that morning?.

[Jellybeawesome]

YEAH "DOWN WITH THE CAPULETS" "DOWN WITH THE MONTAGUES" "LETS JUST LEAVE HER THERE TO DIE

[Rikkii7]

impressive acting.

[cheeseater101]

SNAPE! He still has that same voice! <3

[Luvseat0]

@cheeseater101 thats him?! o.O

[Susejevoli3]

Alan Rickman does not come in at 5:09 he comes in at 4:17!!! Dont y'all want to hear him talk?! lol

[doctorwho415]

watched this in english class.... the room had settled into bored silence.... then a shriek from the back of the room - "OMG ITS SNAPE!!!!" everyone watched it after that and kept making harry potter references. our english teacher has never been more confused.

[Gleebo]

@doctorwho415 Always good to hear that beautifully written works such as Harry Potter get more attention than drivel like Shakespeare. Can't wait for MacBeth to be replaced in curriculum with Harry Potter 3.

[dloc0925]

YOUNG SNAPE!!!!!! bad hair choice.......

[202Agatha]

OMG thanks so much! I've always wanted to watch this

[Kelnosha]

Men in tights..Hot! and Alan Rickman's hair......Not Hot.

[happygamestvfun1]

his slithard in harry potter

[emzyjayne1]

oh my god. he looks like he's 12 years old!

[abbiesaurusrex]

Snapey Snape!

[thriftyscotswoman]

This is like a car accident - you know you shouldn't look, but you just can't tear your eyes away! Alan has a nice codpiece tho

[Hermione1983]

please dont :-( hurt my alan rickman!!! and oh my god what happed to that child that was :-( stapped? did it die??

[Hermione1983]

MEOW to Alan Rickman!!!!!!!!!!! MEOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMM

[Hermione1983]

even now today alan looks young!! and sexy among other things xxxxxxxxxxx

[joelibermann]

is that alan rickman?

[Raysflower]

romeo and juliet 1968 was better, and why does the prince look soooo old?

[dloc0925]

@Raysflower because no other actor wanted to ruin the 1968 classic verison :) hahaha jk that is a good questions though

[GreatGrumbledook]

Eureka! I have found the version of Romeo and Juliet made by the insidious British Broadcasting Corporation, again; though not the best cinematic version made of this most excellent Shakespeare play (one cannot beat the version made 1968 by Monsieur Zeffirelli in Italy herself) it is still a very good one; I hope more of the BBC version will turn up, especially Coriolanus, Henry IV Part I & II, Hamlet, Julius Caesar and Much Ado about Nothing; Macbeth and King Lear are here already

[RainbowKatie]

Ahaha, this is TV gold.

[AlephNeil]

Now, I have a machine gun.

Hoh, hoh, hoh.

[littlepanimausi]

lol poor alan, how does he look there? his hair... omg! lol

[LeftyHandedGuns]

the fight is so ridiculous. it looks like a bunch of friends got high and decided to make a home movie of them having a tickle fight.

still, alan rickman (and yeah, i just wrote anal rickman).

most random post of my youtube career! ahha.

[13abbyk]

this is good but kinda weird

[RomanticGothWoman85]

I love it!<3

[Kimberley719]

What hapened to the lady...who fell down crying near the begining...with her baby who had blood on his sheet...what actually happened to her???

[ashley66466]

@Kimberley719 i think that they hit her with their sword or shoved/fell into her...

[Sh0nin]

@Kimberley719

They stabbed her baby... lol.

[iloverocknroll888]

I love this! I feel like I'm watching as close to the actual stage production as I'll ever get. At first I didn't understand why it was set the way it was, when the '68 version was so much more realistic, but then I got it... It's SUPPOSED to be like the play, rather than like... well, a feature film. :)

And oh, Alan Rickman... haha.. awesome. His voice hasn't changed much over the years :D

[friggingbomb88]

Alan makes me laugh a lot

[flaggellata]

nice^^I like the prologue and quarrel between the two couples of servants

[SahbaA]

Der Film is ja kagge.. aber Rickman is great!

[erdberkeks]

wow da ist ja noch ein Wort ist english.

The Movie are terrible but alan rickman is great bekomme ich ja sogar noch hin.

Oh wie ich Tybalt liebe. :)

[SahbaA]

:D ich kann sogar nochmehr englisch ;)

[lemongirlohyeah]

lmao !!! this is just brilliant!

Alan Rickman is just Pure Brilliance !!

plus he's so hot :D

[Romanticide1]

Was DiCaprio even born yet?!

[TagaSeguchi]

yeah but he was only like 2

[theblackparade133]

LOL! Tybalt at around 5:09

Its funny how Alan is 32 here, but he looks so much younger than that.

[ayrab90]

i think alan matured late. that's why at 60 something he looks really hot and in his prime :P

[JDNightGhobhadi]

He gets sexier as he grows older :)

[JDNightGhobhadi]

I know. He looks more like...20 something? Even now, I think he looks slightly younger than 63, compared to many of his friends and collegues of whom are about the same age as he is.

[kris1329]

@theblackparade133 Alan Rickman ages at a gloriously slow rate. -hopes for his aging prowess-

[XxxForEverMadxxX]

@theblackparade133 I think it has to do with the haircut

[FLATLINETillDeath]

Oh dear. Alan is amazing. That nose and voice. XD

Hasn't changed one bit.

aghhh, I love him. XD

[killwill83]

What the hell was John Guilguud wearing on his head at the start of this?

[erialc6795]

Ahaha Alan Rickman sounds exactly the same!

Haha I know! I swear he must have been born sounding like that or something.
