Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights was a 1992 feature film adaptation of Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights.
Paramount Pictures was forced to use the author's name in the title of the film as Samuel Goldwyn Studio (later sold to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) owned the rights to the simple title Wuthering Heights due to the copyright on their 1939 film version of the novel. The film stars Ralph Fiennes as the tortured Heathcliff and Juliette Binoche as the free spirited Catherine Earnshaw. The role of Heathcliff opened up doors for Ralph Fiennes to play Amon Goeth in Schindlers List. Spielberg claimed he liked Fiennes for Goeth because of his "dark sexuality".
