1925. Lon Chaney version (An amazing silent film and one of my favourite adaptations. <3)

1943. Claude Rains version (This one has a different backstory, but has a lot of gorgeous opera scenes.)

1962. Herbert Lom version (It's also quite different from the original, but still good.)

1974. "The Phantom of the Paradise" (A rock musical that takes place in the 20th century. The plot is a mix of POTO and Faust. This film is pretty crazy (and a bit low budget) but I like it and the সঙ্গীত is very good.)

1983. Maximilian Schell version (This takes place in Budapest (my hometown<3) instead of Paris and the plot has almost nothing to do with the original.)

1989. Robert Englund version (This is a slasher horror with some time travelling elements. I personally like Robert Englund's portrayal of Erik.)

1990. Charles Dance version (This is another quite different story and also has a stage musical adaptation (Yeston/Kopit) and also one of my favourite adaptations.)

1998. Julian Sands version (This one is awful. If আপনি watch it, remember I warned you! :P)

2004. Gerard Butler version (A film adaptation of the ALW musical. It has some good things, but not my favourite.)

As for books, there is the original Gaston Leroux, so if আপনি haven't read it already I advise আপনি to start right now!!!! It's amazing! It's আরো of a গথ দেশীয় horror/mystery novel so if আপনি expect full romance like the ALW musical, then probably আপনি will be a bit disappointed, but believe me: it deserves reading!!! :)
The other বই are fanfictions (like Phantom দ্বারা Susan Kay অথবা The Phantom of Manhattanby Frederick Forsyth). If আপনি like the genre then there is a chance আপনি will like these, (personally I don't like them), but I advise আপনি to do some research before আপনি choose to read one if আপনি don't want to be surprised with যেভাবে খুশী alternate endings, shippings and weed-smoking Eriks. :P

These are the stuffs that came to my mind now, but there are countless of other adaptations from awful horrors to Sherlock-Phantom crossovers and all-female musicals! (For me the Phantomreviews ইউটিউব channel helped a lot with finding new verisons.) I hope I could help you! :) Enjoy watching/reading these! <3

Which version is Micheal Crawford in? Seeing as how everyone apparently likes him.

He was the original Phantom in thw Webber musical both on Westend and Broadway (and my personal favourite <3). There are no official recordings of him on stage, but there are a few bootlegs on youtube, some gala performances and a সঙ্গীত video made for The সঙ্গীত of the night, which is almost like a stage recording btw. He also sings on the original cast CD, (but I don't think it's the best recording with him, he sings many POTO songs way better in সঙ্গীতানুষ্ঠান অথবা on his own CDs).

Update! Finally got Susan Kay's book and I AM IN প্রণয় WITH IT! I swear she gives Leroux a run for his money. As far as Forsyth's book, it was so awful, I couldn't even get past the first chapter. But there is another book that I have been in প্রণয় with and if আপনি haven't already read it, I seriously recommend it. It's called Letters to Erik. Very Lerouxy. Picks up where Leroux left off and goes from there. Also it gives Erik a happy ending(spoiler alert:he didn't really die). It's available on মর্দানী স্ত্রীলোক দ্বারা An Wallace.
