The most celebrated film version of Julius Caesar is the one made by Joseph Mankiewicz in 1953 with Marlon Brando as Antony, James Mason as Brutus and John Gielgud as Cassius. It was nominated for 5 Academy Awards although it didn't win any.
There have not been very many more recent productions of this play, as it has become much less popular since the '50s.
The most famous version of Romeo and Juliet is the play by William Shakespeare. The same story has also been done as a poem (which Shakespeare used as a source) and a prose story, and an opera, and several ballets, and a symphonic poem by Tchaikovsky (pretty famous in its own right), and numerous screenplays, some of which use some of Shakespeare's dialogue, some of which use Shakespeare's words and some of their own, and some which make up a whole new set of lines. But Shakespeare's play remains the most famous.
Now if you are asking about famous productions of the play or particular performances, you should ask that way.
Most viewers agree the best one is the 1968 version directed by Frank Zeffirelli, starring Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey in the title roles.
