Wuthering Heights (2003 TV Movie)
9/10
If you can let go of the original, this is a great movie. Not just for teens.

I've read a lot of reviews on different sites saying this was remade into a typical teen movie. Trust me I'm not a teen and I loved it. I haven't been glued to the TV and brought to tears so much or fast with any movie I can remember. Mike Vogel was amazing. He pulled off the tortured soul of Heath so well. I'd only ever seen him in Grind and what a transformation. He went from a young man with a dream to a man with a love. I couldn't believe Mike's voice and Erika Christensen not only complimented Mike's voice but was amazing on her own as well. The other characters however were typical rich kids with not quite as much depth but it was irrelevant because all a viewer is watching for is Kate & Heath to be together even for a moment. I shake my head every time I see someone standing at a doorway listening to a conversation only to miss the most important part as in "I am Heath". I believe a classic can be remade in many ways and era's only to reach new viewers. This remake done for the new generation can only entice viewer to want to know what the classic was really like. If it reaches any of the younger generation enough to want to read the book then it was well worth the money to make. It's a good movie, it has good actors and it's real and now. The music is amazing. What more do we need to make our younger generation seek out classics. Keep remaking the classics and keep reaching our kids.
