- 'Les Misérables' (1952) - 6.8/10. Truth be told, 6.8/10 is a little generous for this particular version of Les Misérables. It certainly feels like it was produced pretty quickly, as many standard Hollywood movies from the 1940s and 1950s often did, and it makes some strange omissions to the original story in the interest of getting the mammoth novel down to a single 105-minute movie.
- 'Les Misérables' (1982) - 7.2/10. There's a general theme that tends to emerge with Les Misérables adaptations. They're either edited down to two hours or less and will cut out significant characters (usually Monsieur and Madame Thénardier) or chunks of the story (often the finale/epilogue), or they'll otherwise be epic-length movies, nearing three hours, or even exceeding it.
- 'Les Misérables' (1978) - 7.3/10. Perhaps best described as the version of Les Misérables where Norman Bates from Psycho is Inspector Javert, this 1978 take on the classic novel was a U.K.
- 'Les Misérables' (1958) - 7.4/10. With this 1958 French version of Les Misérables coming in at about 3.5 hours in length, perhaps it shows a pattern starting to emerge.
