Unfortunately any look at film adaptations of Charlotte Brontë's novels will be heavily skewed in favour of Jane Eyre. At present there have been 15 feature films, five television adaptations and one stage musical based on the novel. Of the other novels only Shirley has been filmed at all, a silent film in 1922.

In the interests of space only the more visible and successful productions are listed below, many of which are television productions. Links have been provided to the relevant entries in the Internet Movie Database, where far more detailed information is available.
