    Starring Irma Taylor & Frank Hall Crane

    1. Unavailable to stream The 1910 film adaptation of Jane Eyre is thought to be the first. It was produced less than 70 years after the debut of the novel. The novel made its debut much closer to the age of modern cinema than some fans might think. The silent movie is, at the very least, the first English-language versionof the story on screen. It’s a relatively straightforward adaptation of the novel with many condensed parts of the story summarized for the audience according to reviews from...

    Starring Virginia Bruce & Colin Clive

    1. Available to stream on Tubi The 1934 version was the first "talkie" adaptation. Monogram Pictures, a small production company at the time, did the best they could on a relatively small budget. Jane never visits her dying aunt or runs away to Moor House, but the audience at least gets to see her childhood at Gateshead and a brief scene at Lowood. This is one version where much of the story is changed to fit Hollywood's idea of a fairy tale; Jane is beautiful, talented, and accomplished, whi...

    Starring Mary Sinclair & Charlton Heston

    1. Unavailable to stream This made-for-television version, which aired on CBS, was restricted due to time constraints and filmed on one set. This inevitably led to the removal of some major plot points from the book, such as Jane's time at Gateshead and Moor House. The only time we see Lowood is during a brief scene at the start of the film where Jane indignantly states that she has been mistreated and will never return. The most enjoyable elements of this adaptation are Charlton Heston as Ro...

    Starring Joan Elan & Patrick Macnee

    1. Unavailable to stream This adaptation leaves out any plot points that don't take place at Thornfield. Much of the plot is shifted around, likely due to time constraints. For example, rather than being interrupted at the altar, Rochester is in the middle of his proposal when Mason storms in and demands he tell Jane about Bertha. Rochester is a creepy alcoholic who leers after Jane, and Jane is much less plain than she is described in the novel. Mrs. Fairfax plays a larger role here, serving...

    Starring Madhubala & Dilip Kumar

    1. Available to rent on Amazon The first known Hindi-language adaptation of Jane Eyre, the movie took some liberties with the source material but stayed true to the bones of the story. It featured beloved Indian star Madhubala in the leading role opposite Dilip Kumar, whom she had a real-life relationship with for many years, which did aid in their chemistry on screen. While some critics said that this particular adaptation was boring, Sandgil formed the basis for several other Indian adaptat...

    Starring Andrea Martin & Joe Flaherty

    1. Unavailable to stream While not a movie, and not a full-length television adaptation either, "Jane Eyrehead" deserves a spot among the best Jane Eyre adaptations for its creativity alone. Crafted by the Second City Comedy Troupe for television, the sketch parodies Jane Eyre at a time when the BBC was adapting one classic after another for TV movies and miniseries. In addition to Martin and Flaherty in the lead, the sketch features John Candy, Eugene Levy, and Martin Short. It also takes th...

    Starring Susannah York & George C. Scott

    1. Available to stream on Tubi Skipping Gateshead and going straight to Lowood, this version still manages to show the harsh beginnings of Jane's childhood. Many elements of the plot are condensed. This is the first version to show Jane's time at Moor House, and it includes the proposal from St. John, both being important story elements that often get left out by other adaptations. This portrayal of the central romance between Jane and Rochester may not be brimming with passion, but Susannah...

    Starring Samantha Morton & Ciarán Hinds

    1. Available to stream on Peacock Everything but Jane's trip to Gateshead to visit her dying aunt is included in this TV romance adaptation. Ciarán Hinds' take on Rochester certainly stands out among the others, and fans of the novel either love or hate this particular portrayal. Hinds often chooses to play Rochester as aggressive and abrasive, raising his voice frequently to convey Rochester's passionate nature. Both Jane and Rochester certainly fit their physical descriptions in the book, b...

    Starring Betsy Connell & Tom Conway

    1. Available to stream on Tubi This horror movie for RKO Pictures is very loosely based on Jane Eyre. It’s based on an article by Inez Wallace but uses her story to reinterpret the events of Jane Eyre. It’s one of the more unique takes on the story. I Walked With A Zombie follows a nurse as she takes a job caring for the sick wife of a sugar plantation owner in the Caribbean. Though it initially received mixed reviews when it was released, film scholars have changed their tune in the modern d...

    Starring Zelah Clarke & Timothy Dalton

    1. Available to stream on Britbox Of all the Jane Eyre movies, the 1983 version is by far the most faithful to the source material. Technically a television limited series, this version spans 11 episodes and details the events of every chapter of the novel. It features the most detail of the Jane Eyre adaptations, which fans will surely appreciate. Because of the length of this adaptation, Jane and Rochester's relationship is given plenty of time to grow. For novel purists who want to see an...
