I was watching the 1923 silent film version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame with Lon Chaney Sr and sketched a quick impression. The makeup was pretty amazing for the time, but for my money though, the 1939 version with Charles Laughton is the best. Plus Maureen O'Hara looked pretty hot as Esmeralda. In it's defense though, the 1996 Disney version did have them all beat in terms of singing gargoyles.I've never read the book, but the silent version had a lot of text to read, so I think that mostly counts.
