The 1980s miniseries starring Zelah Clarke and Timothy Dalton is the only adaptation I've ever seen that keeps the weird cross-dressing fortune-telling interlude in! It's also my favorite adaptation overall, though not solely for that reason :) I think Zelah Clarke really brings all those qualities to her Jane that you described in your comment. And Dalton is FAR too handsome for Rochester, but I don't care because he handles the language and dialogue so very well, imo, and can sell the shifts from brusque to tender to threatening to witty.
