6. Les Miserables
Les Miserables is an iconic story. Whether you have read the book, seen the stage musical, or watched the film, most people are familiar with the story of Jean Valjean. Set during France's June Rebellion, Valjean is constantly hunted by Policeman Javert after breaking the terms of his parole.
Sometimes you just need a story told completely in song. It's impossible not to shed a tear to Anne Hathaway's Academy Award winning performance of 'I Dreamed a Dream.' Les Miserables is perfect for those days when you are home alone and the neighbours are out. Just let your emotions out in song.
There's a reason Les Miserables continues to be such a popular story. The epic tale examines themes of loss, revolution, struggle, sacrifice, and comradeship - you name it and it's there. With all of this set against an iconic soundtrack, what more could you want?
