I miserabili

Here's a film that really wants you to know it's adapted from Victor Hugo. Jean Valjean, having served hard time for stealing bread, is hounded for decades by the unyielding Javert. Eventually Valjean gets mixed up in some student uprisings. It's a solid adaptation, provided you've never read the book.
