It does not take a genius to figure out that this is my favourite musical of all time, given the design of this site and the fact that I've seen it live 52 times since 2006:) It is also one of my favourite novels.

Film/TV adaptions
Les Misérables - 1925 - Silent
As of yet, unwatched
Les Misérables (part 1 and 2) - 1957/1958 - French
Directed by Jean-Paul Le Chanois, starring Jean Gabin and Bernard Blier
I thought it was delightful! Not always Brick accurate, but very enjoyable even so. And FY!, smashed bottles!
Les Misérables (part 1 and 2) - 1972 - French
Directed by Marcel Bluwal, starring Georges Géret (Valjean), Bernard Fresson (Javert), Alain Mottet (Thénardier), Francois Marthouret (Marius), Gilles Maidon (Gavroche), Nicole Jamet (Cosette) etc.
Amis-centric adaption, very good at including all those little scenes directors tend to forget about. All-round lovely cast, I particularly enjoyed the portrayals of Enjolras, Gavroche, Thénardier, Bossuet and Courfeyrac.This is definitely the best cast Enjolras in any of these movies, he's... striking, in charge and self-possessed, in short almost perfect once one gets over his un-canonical appearance. My favourite or second-favourite adaption.
Les Misérables - 1978 - English
Directed by Glenn Jordan, starring Richard Jordan, Anthony Perkins, Cyril Cusack, Ian Holm
The epic love story of Javert and Valjean is epic:) Recommended on that count!
Les Miserables - 1982 - French
Directed by Robert Hossein, starring Lino Ventura, Michel Bouquet
Second-favourite adaption! Most charming Courfeyrac ever! I also have the English dub, which... the less said about that, the better, though it is rather entertaining.
Stage by Stage - 1988 - Mostly English
Great documentary on the process of developing Les Mis the musical, contains footage from various productions including Oslo 1988.
Les Misérables; Dream Cast in Concert/10th Anniversary Celebration - 1995 - English, various
Colm Wilkinson (Valjean), Philip Quast (Javert), Ruthie Henshall (Fantine), Michael Ball (Marius), Lea Salonga (Éponine), Judy Kuhn (Cosette), Michael Maguire (Enjolras), Alun Armstrong (Thénardier), Jenny Galloway (Mme Thénardier), Anthony Crivello (Grantaire), Adam Searles (Gavroche), Hannah Chick (Little Cosette)
Les Misérables - 1998 - English
Directed by Bille August, starring Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush, Uma Thurman, Claire Danes
...not a bad film, in itself, but fans should avoid this one unless they have a high tolerance for strange characterisations. Best thing I got out of this adaption was a fondness for the Valjean/Fantine ship.
Les Misérables - 2000 - French
Directed by Josée Dayan, starring Gérard Depardieu, John Malkovich, Virginie Ledoyen, Christian Clavier etc.
I have the longer, French edition. Not bad, but some unfortunate Valjean/Cosette implications in the last part and some less-than-perfect casting.
Les Misérables in Concert; The 25th Anniversary - 2010 - English Alfie Boe (Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Nick Jonas (Marius), Samantha Barks (Éponine), Katie Hall (Cosette), Ramin Karimloo (Enjolras), Matt Lucas (Thénardier), Jenny Galloway (Mme Thénardier), Hadley Fraser (Grantaire), Earl Carpenter (Bishop), Robert Madge (Gavroche), Mia Jenkins (Little Cosette)
