The earliest known film adaptation of ''Wuthering Heights'' was filmed in England in 1920 and was directed by [[A. V. Bramble]]. It is unknown if any prints still exist.<ref name="imdb1920">{{IMDb title|qid=Q4150118|id=tt0011886|title=Wuthering Heights|description=(1920 film)}}</ref> The most famous is 1939's ''[[Wuthering Heights (1939 film)|Wuthering Heights]]'', starring [[Laurence Olivier]] and [[Merle Oberon]] and directed by [[William Wyler]]. This acclaimed adaptation, like many others, eliminated the second generation's story (young Cathy, Linton and Hareton) and is rather inaccurate as a literary adaptation. It won the 1939 [[New York Film Critics Circle Award]] for Best Film and was nominated for the 1939 [[Academy Award for Best Picture]].

[[Nigel Kneale]]'s script was produced for [[BBC]] Television twice, firstly in 1953, starring [[Richard Todd]] as [[Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights)|Heathcliff]] and [[Yvonne Mitchell]] as [[Catherine Earnshaw|Cathy]]. Broadcast live, no recordings of the production are known to exist. The second adaptation using Kneale's script was in 1962, starring [[Claire Bloom]] as Catherine and [[Keith Michell]] as Heathcliff. This production does exist with the [[British Film Institute|BFI]], but has been withheld from public viewing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/1203222/index.html|title=BFI Screenonline: Wuthering Heights (1962)}}</ref> Kneale's script was also adapted for Australian television in 1959 during a time when original drama productions in the country were rare. Broadcast live from Sydney, the performance was [[Kinescope|telerecorded]], although it is unknown if this kinescope still exists.

In 1958, an adaptation aired on [[CBS]] television as part of the series ''[[DuPont Show of the Month]]'' starring [[Rosemary Harris]] as Cathy and [[Richard Burton]] as Heathcliff.<ref>{{cite news|last=Schulman|first=Michael|url=https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/found-a-lost-tv-version-of-wuthering-heights&verso=true#|title=Found!

''Les Hauts de Hurlevent'' is a French mini-series in six 26-minute episodes, in black and white, created and directed by Jean-Paul Carrère based on the novel, and broadcast between 1964 and 1968 on the first ORTF channel.

The [[Wuthering Heights (1970 film)|1970 film]] with [[Timothy Dalton]] as Heathcliff is the first colour version of the novel. It has gained acceptance over the years although it was initially poorly received. The character of Hindley is portrayed much more sympathetically, and his story-arc is altered. It also subtly suggests that Heathcliff may be Cathy's illegitimate half-brother.

In 1978, the BBC produced a [[Wuthering Heights (1978 TV serial)|five-part TV serialisation]] of the book starring Ken Hutchinson, Kay Adshead and John Duttine, with music by Carl Davis; it is considered one of the most faithful adaptations of Emily Brontë's story.<ref name=allmovie>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmovie.com/movie/wuthering-heights-v274300|title=Wuthering Heights (1978) – Trailers, Reviews, Synopsis, Showtimes and Cast – AllMovie|work=AllMovie}}</ref>

There is also a 1985 French film adaptation, ''[[Hurlevent]]'' by [[Jacques Rivette]], and a 1988 [[Wuthering Heights (1988 film)|Japanese film adaptation]] by [[Yoshishige Yoshida]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095786/?ref_=nm_knf_t1|title = Arashi ga oka|website = [[IMDb]]}}</ref>

The 1992 film ''[[Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights]]'' starring [[Ralph Fiennes]] and [[Juliette Binoche]] is notable for including the oft-omitted second generation story of the children of Cathy, Hindley and Heathcliff.

More recent film or TV adaptations include [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]]'s 2009 [[Wuthering Heights (2009 television serial)|two-part drama series]] starring [[Tom Hardy]], [[Charlotte Riley]], [[Sarah Lancashire]], and [[Andrew Lincoln]],<ref name="imdb2009">{{IMDb title|qid=Q3283021|id=tt1238834|title=Wuthering Heights|description=2009(TV)}}</ref> and the [[Wuthering Heights (2011 film)|2011 film]] starring [[Kaya Scodelario]] and James Howson and directed by [[Andrea Arnold]].

Adaptations which place the story in a new setting include the [[Wuthering Heights (1954 film)|1954 adaptation]], retitled ''Abismos de pasión,'' directed by Spanish filmmaker [[Luis Buñuel]] and set in Catholic Mexico, with Heathcliff and Cathy renamed Alejandro and Catalina. In Buñuel's version Heathcliff/Alejandro claims to have become rich by making a deal with Satan. The ''New York Times'' reviewed a re-release of this film as "an almost magical example of how an artist of genius can take someone else's classic work and shape it to fit his own temperament without really violating it," noting that the film was thoroughly Spanish and Catholic in its tone while still highly faithful to Brontë.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9C03EFD91538F934A15751C1A965948260 |title=Abismos de Pasion (1953) Bunuel's Brontë |first=Vincent |last=Canby |date=27 December 1983 |newspaper=The New York Times |access-date=22 June 2011}}</ref> [[Yoshishige Yoshida]]'s [[Wuthering Heights (1988 film)|1988 adaptation]] also has a transposed setting, this time to medieval Japan. In Yoshida's version, the Heathcliff character, Onimaru, is raised in a nearby community of priests who worship a local fire god. Filipino director Carlos Siguion-Reyna made a film adaptation titled ''[[Hihintayin Kita sa Langit]]'' (1991). The screenplay was written by Raquel Villavicencio and produced by [[Armida Siguion-Reyna]]. It starred [[Richard Gomez]] as Gabriel (Heathcliff) and [[Dawn Zulueta]] as Carmina (Catherine). It became a Filipino film classic.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.manunuri.com/filmography/hihintayin_kita_sa_langit|title=Hihintayin Kita sa Langit (1991) – Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino (MPP)|website=www.manunuri.com|access-date=30 July 2018}}</ref>

In 2022, [[Emma Mackey]] starred in a biopic of Emily Brontë in ''[[Emily (2022 film)|Emily]]''. The film charts the life of Brontë and the inspiration she gained for writing Wuthering Heights living in the Yorkshire countryside.

In July 2024, it was announced that [[Emerald Fennell]] was set to direct and write [[Wuthering Heights (2026 film)|a new film adaptation of the novel]] for [[Warner Bros.]].
