Wuthering Heights [VHS] $4.88 One of the most compelling tragic romances ever captured on film, Wuthering Heights is an exquisite tale of doomed love and miscalculated intentions. Though only half of Emily Bronte’s classic tale of Heathcliff and Catherine was filmed by director William Wyler, it lacks for nothing. The story begins when a Yorkshire gentleman farmer brings home a raggedy gypsy boy, Heathcliff, and raises him a… |

Wuthering Heights [VHS] $9.95 Peter Kosminsky’s 1992 adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights goes to the extreme of casting Sinéad O’Connor in a brief bit as Brontë herself, but the film still doesn’t approach the accomplishment of William Wyler’s classic 1939 production (with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon) or subsequent versions by Luis Buñuel and Robert Fuest. That doesn’t make it unwatchable, however: it stil… |

Jane Eyre $5.48 Charlotte Brontë’s Victorian romance is no stranger to the silver screen, but Sin Nombre director Cary Fukunaga’s affecting and beautifully mounted adaptation is among the best. Sometimes, casting can make all the difference. In this case, Australia’s Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) plays the determined Jane Eyre opposite Ireland’s Michael Fassbender (Fish Tank) as the world-weary Edward Roc… |
