Les Miserables (1998,  PG-13)
Les Miserables
Incredible, incredible end.
2
Cyrano De Bergerac (1990,  PG)
Cyrano De Bergerac
The verses of Edmon Rostand are incredible. Not just a love story (as many people, including myself, believed), but the story of a man who follows his way of life in spite of all troubles that it implies. It is not broadly known that Cyrano was a real person, and that lots of things that are told in the play about him are true (including some of his writings and ideas).

The Three Musketeers (1993,  PG)
The Three Musketeers
Good songs (Sting)

The Man in the Iron Mask (1998,  PG-13)
The Man in the Iron Mask
What I liked about this film was 1) the excellent actors for musketeers, 2) the change in the relations among them: De Artagnan as an enemy, Porthos comic and suicide, Aramis adquiring a critic role that we never suspected in the most superficial of the four...
