Swoon has a guide to "all"
Wuthering Heights versions and Bronté adaptations. Of course, it's by no means complete, but it's ok:
Nothing beats a classic Brontë adaptation, in our humble opinion. There’s just something timeless about the three sisters’ novels. Sure, we might not be traipsing up and down the moors, wailing about our heartbreak — but we are posting TikToks about it and surviving the horrors of dating apps. We might not discover an ex-wife locked in the attic, but honestly, who hasn’t dated someone who complains about their “psycho ex” and is definitely the problem themselves?
There’s one very exciting new Wuthering Heights adaptation on the way — by our girl Emerald Fennell, the woman behind Promising Young Woman and Saltburn. But while we wait, here are some of the best Brontë adaptations and where to find them. (Fleurine Tideman)
Daily Express continues to discover the best-adaptation or best-period-drama or best-whatever based in the comments of x-perts:
‘Masterpiece’ period drama based on the Brontë sisters is ‘best adaptation of all time’
This TV film aired in 2016 and has proved popular to this day.
If you are looking for a period drama to sink your teeth into before heading back to work, look no further. To Walk Invisible is a British television film about the Brontë family, which aired on BBC One on December 29, 2016. (Mooly Toolan)

The bleak Pennine landscape has hardly changed since the days of the Brontës, but an exception is Lower Laithe Reservoir, dating from 1925. Start from the hilltop square, pass the church, and turn left to pick up a sign for the Brontë Falls. (Roger Ratcliffe)
While everyone is focused on the Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros., there is an entire slate of movies set to be released in 2026, and they will be here before we know it. One of them that has already caused quite the uproar is Emerald Fennell's new film, which is specified as 'inspired by' the book of the same name, "Wuthering Heights". The marketing appears to be leaning into that Valentine's Day release day much in the same way we saw the marketing for 50 Shades of Grey. Say what you want about that movie, I certainly have, but it did well on its opening weekend, even if the drop off was pretty harsh.
This one has a big question mark hanging over it. If it resonates with its intended audience, we could be looking at a film with some serious legs. If it doesn't, there really isn't much of a "backup" audience, per se. At the moment, there isn't a lot about "Wuthering Heights" that feels like it could draw in someone who doesn't like this genre. Much like horror, fans of period romance and bodice rippers specifically are very loyal, but the 'inspired by' thing might keep some of the hardcore lit nerds away. Marketing is starting to kick off with a new TV spot celebrating the new year. (Katilin Booth)
The film is also featured in Mirror, Metro, Metro (again), The Federal, Telva, Últimas Noticias, MDZ...
The Alpena News reveals a new Brontëite, whereas one we know already, Guillermo Del Toro, appears in a BBC radio programme, according to

Three-time Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro is John Wilson’s guest this week. As one of the most imaginative filmmakers working today, the Mexican director of Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water cites a kaleidoscopic range of influences, from cinematic giants such as Luis Buñuel and Stanley Kubrick to Japanese manga comics, Jane Eyre and the literary output of HP Lovecraft.
