Watched the one with Richard Chamberlain when I was a kid. I like it.

Quite possibly one of the best books I've read, even with all the generic and usual Romantic nonsense.

The book is fantastic, although you have to get a good translation...there are many crappy translations which make the book boring.

the movie is good too.

Book and movie are great, tho the book is pretty long if I remember correctly (its been years)

ive enjoyed both versions. including the film/tv adaptions, regardless of how faithful they are to the novel. for example i really enjoyed the caviezel film, but besides the basic premise it strays far off the book. but the depardieu miniseries version was pretty damn accurate.

Book, movie or pitcher (S.F. Giant John "The Count" Montefusco)?

I saw the 2002 movie on an airplane and enjoyed it very much.
