These are three well-known movies about the book.1. Made in 1972, starring Charlton Heston as John Thornton.
2. Made in 1992, starring Rick Schroeder as John Thornton.
3. Made in 1997, starring Rutger Hauer as John Thornton.
There are several other movie versions, also, since the book is very well-loved and popular.
The one we will probably watch in class is option #3, for getting the best reviews and being the closest to the story in the book.
If you want to watch #1 at home on your own, click on the link in Yetterboe's favorite links, for a full-length version of the movie from Hulu.com.
Remember that all movie versions always change the book a little or sometimes a lot.
