Lol!Hats off to you,Tom!!(Oh,and yes,..Tom is Hot!!

Every version I have seen has been overly melodramatic or lacking in other ways. I would love to see Kate Winslet play Cathy and Rufus Sewell pay Heathcliff.

An earlier version was broadcasted (with Russell Baker as host) in 1998.

The movie actually made me stay up all night rereading Wuthering Heights. I had forgotten how much I loved the book.Bearded Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06182921236123895352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816215309027871000.post-28087345429108540782009-01-21T12:05:00.000-08:002009-01-21T12:05:00.000-08:00To be honest with you...I didn't like this one ver...To be honest with you...I didn't like this one very much. Too different from the classic; to the point of distorting it. Too bad...Lucy https://www.blogger.com/profile/13600064401395449845noreply@blogger.com
