It wouldn’t have been so jarring if I hadn’t thought it was a love story, but that’s what I’d always heard. If that wasn’t the case I probably would have enjoyed it more without the constant intrusive thoughts of "WHO THE HELL THINKS THIS MESSED UP, SOCIOPATHIC SHIT IS ROMANTIC? What is WRONG with people?"

Oh yes. That would be very jarring. It doesn't help that every time it's been filmed, it's been framed as the uber love story and the other elements elided.

There was a TV version in the 90s, starring Ralph Fiennes, that got bad reviews because "it makes Cathy and Heathcliffe look like terrible people!" And I laughed and laughed. And thought it was pretty good, for a story about two psychos. Because they're TERRIBLE!

Ooooh, I haven't seen that one.

I love the one with Timothy Dalton as Heathcliff, but it's just not gritty enough.

It actually was a theatrical release, not a TV movie. IIRC, it was Paramount Pictures UK's first production or something like that.

Despite the 25% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I quite like it. I think a lot of that may be because it includes the second generation, who are much more likeable.
