This is a film that you and your family will love to watch over and over again. Looking back to 1998 I still AMAZED that Liam Neeson and Jeffry Rush weren't even nominated for thier roles in this film. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misrables tells the story of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean (Jackman), hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe), after he breaks parole. I own a copy on VHS which I will get out about once every 3 or 4 months and watch the Beautiful story of Jean Vel-Jean all over again. Hugh Jackman, Academy Award winner Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway star in this critically-acclaimed adaptation of the epic musical phenomenon. This is also one of my favorite films of all time. What a SHAME because this film was 10 times better than "Shakespere in Love" in EVERY catagory. I remember thinking to myself as I watched it, that this movie was going to sweep all the Academy awards at the time it came out(but it didn't-infact in was only nominated for one award -Best Music Score(which it lost to "Shakespere in Love").If you will recall "Shakespere in Love" destroyed all the competition at the Awards in 1998. This film was also perfectly cast, and it has a wonderful music score. Goeffry Rush does such a good job as the inspector that you forget he is an actor and you really begin to dislike him. How did this film get missed by the Acadmey Awards? This was a delight to watch.
