Pros: The jury's still out on this one Cons: Hammy performances, butchered screenplay, cheesy score, the list goes on...
When it comes to butchered adaptations of literary masterpieces, years from now, I’m bound to think of William Wyler’s 1939 film Wuthering Heights. Though this movie garnered eight Oscar nominations, including Best Screenplay for Ben Hecht...

Star Power vs. Incredible Year
With the star power of Laurence Olivier as leading actor and a top-notch production team creating what many consider to be among the very best Romance/Dramas of all-times, and based on Emily Bronte's 1847...
