Rating: - Wuthering Heights
Of all the versions of this story I have seen, this is one of the best; acting was superior and was faithful to the original story. I would recommend this version of the story to anyone who has never seen any of them.
Rating:  - Please make it stop
This movie made me feel dirty and nauseated. On the bright side it's inspired me to read the book in an attempt to replace the vile characters presented in the movie with something, anything, else. Blech.
Rating: - Far better than the book.
Well, what can be said for Wuthering Heights...personally I found the book to be utterly depressing, and came quite close to not having any redeeming qualities at all. But the movie managed to make the characters somewhat lovable, or at the very least pitiable, and just had an overall better feel to it. They left out parts, thankfully, that weren't needed, or brought the already less than likable characters to a worse standing. I cried repeatedly watching this, and it was just an overall good experience. So basically, I definitely recommend the movie, but warn against the book. However, I would suggest heavily Charlotte Bronte's 'Jane Eyre'- it is my favorite novel of all time, and seeing that Emily Bronte is Charlotte's sister their writing style....or rather eloquence in writing is similar.

Wuthering Heights (1992)
This is the first film production that entails both generations of the Earnshaws and Lintons. As a Graduate student of English, I am very familiar with the text and I find this version is adequate and fascinating. Ralph Fiennes utilizes his ever-charismatic talent for drama to pull-off the complex and dark Heathcliff character. Binoche gives and exceptional "I am Heathcliff" speech. I was able to follow the text along with the movie's scenes. There are some variations, and I am biased since I stand forthright in my allegiance to text rather than film. One of the main aspects of Heathcliff's character in the text is his envy for the blue eyes of Linton and Fiennes' blue eyes are a bit distracting in the movie. The film industry has yet to really apply the physical description of Heathcliff to film version. But, this version is perfectly tuned into the Gothic and dreary features of the text.
