Emily Brontë died 175 years ago today, on 19-December-1849. Emily and her sisters Anne and Charlotte were all published novelists and poets. In 1847, Emily, using the male pseudonym Ellis Bell, published her only novel, Wuthering Heights. Wuthering Heights was a success which is still widely read today.
The first film adaption was a two-reeler made in Britain in 1920. It is probably lost.

In 1939, Sam Goldwyn produced a version that was directed by William Wyler. Merle Oberon played Cathy and Laurence Olivier played Heathcliff. It was nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award. This seems to be many peoples' favorite adaption.

I like the design of this poster for the 1992 adaption. Peter Kosminsky directed Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes, who portrayed Cathy and Heathcliffe.

An adaption directed by directed by Andrea Arnold in 2011, starred Kaya Scodelario as Catherine and James Howson as Heathcliff.
There have been many adaptions made in various Indian languages, one made in Japan and two made in the Philippines. I would like to see the version directed in Mexico by Luis Buñuel.
