Shakespeare in Love

I have seen this movie many times and never tire of it! I hadn't planned to watch it, but I turned the tv on and there it was. I just couldn't change the channel! This has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. I love anything about Elizabethan England. Joseph Fiennes is so full of energy. Gwyneth Paltrow is lovely as always. And I was happy for the few scenes that featured Ben Affleck & Colin Firth. And even Judi Dench as the queen - perfect! To imagine Shakespeare so young & full of life is a nice change from that famous portrait of him. How awesome to take some rather uninteresting historical facts & weave them into such a great story!
