In 1996, Baz Luhrman followed up his critically acclaimed Australian ballroom picture with his American blockbuster debut, a modernized adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. This is full of so many people who were on the cusp of breaking out into stardom like Leonardo DiCaprio, who up until this point was mostly known for gritty roles in independent movies like Basketball Diaries and What's Eating Gilbert Grape. It's also neck and neck with Clueless as Paul Rudd's big break.

Mike loves Luhrman's Moulin Rouge, and he's a moderate Shakespeare fan. Will Allyson make the right call in assuming this is going to be right up Mike's alley. Or will Mike gun it down in the street like the dude who played Augustus Hill in HBO's OZ?
