I had to do this same assignment back in high school, some time back, and the most important thing I focused on was the use of "sword" on the gun, and that although the setting changed the basic story line and dialog didn't. I got an A on the paper! Those are perhaps the most important comparisons to be made. I included some useful websites in the " know your source" section

The 1968 version is very faithful to Shakespeare; more so than any film version before or since. It was controversial when first released because Romeo is shown naked.
The 1996 version is set in a modern setting.
