There is no such novel as Romeo and Juliet. It's a play. Whoever posed this question to you has no idea what they are talking about. Here's a suggestion: Get a copy of the movie Romeo and Juliet (1968) directed by Franco Zeffirelli, or, if you prefer, the movie Romeo+Juliet (1996) directed by Baz Luhrman, and watch it. Then read the play.

Depends which "new and old" movies you are talking about. Significant movies have been made of Romeo and Juliet in 1936, 1955, 1968, 1996 and 2013. In the 1936 movie all of the actors are middle-aged, including Romeo and Juliet; in the others Romeo and Juliet are much younger. In the 1996 movie the settings and costumes are all about 90s California, whereas the 1955, 1968 and 2013 ones are definitely Italian Renaissance. The 1955 movie has a lot of dialogue cut out, as does the 1996 movie, but the 2013 movie has new dialogue written more or less in Shakespeare's style (but inferior).
The singer of "A Time for Us" in the 1968 film "Romeo and Juliet" is the renowned Italian singer and actor, Johnny Mathis. Mathis recorded the song for the film's soundtrack, which has since become one of his most famous and beloved recordings. His smooth and emotive vocals perfectly captured the romantic essence of the film and the timeless love story of Romeo and Juliet.
Romeo and Juliet won the Oscar for Cinematography in 1968.
The actors Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey did indeed share a real kiss in the 1968 movie adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Director Franco Zeffirelli wanted to capture the authenticity and passion of young love on screen, so the kiss was not staged or fake.
