I have to agree about Luhrman's "Romeo + Juliet". It's the only DiCaprio film I can ever recall seeing as normallly his name is enough to keep me away. I saw it in college at the theater and was just completely absorbed by it. I even purchased a second ticket for the next show, despite some odd looks from my friends who were headed out drinking after fulfilling their obligation to see it for class.
I'll admit that my sample of versions of "Titus Andronicus" is exactly one. I've never seen it produced as a play, or another movie version, so I can't comment in that regard. I just know that I was captivated from the very beginning the first time I saw it, and it is one of those movies I bought on DVD the instant it came out. I'd read it several times, and always adored Aaron. (I prefer his speech before his death, but the above scene is powerful as well).
