And I'm sure there'll be more—in fact, there's at least one in the oven right now. To be honest, the only one I'd put into the category of must-watch is the 1940's adaptation. The others came and went, but haven't had nearly as much relevance.(less)

Chances are they have a few, and if not they should be able to get you any other edition via an ILL (Inter Library Loan). That way you can check out the editions for free and don't have too worry too much if you find one you don't like. Besides that, the easiest option is simply to see which are the ones with the most ratings (most people vouching for them).(less)
