Several version of The Phantom of the Opera are available from Freegal. 

Some movie trivia from IMDB:

 

• They had to shoot the kiss between the Phantom and Christine numerous times. Actress Emmy Rossum had to ice her lips between takes to keep them from swelling.
• John Travolta and Antonio Banderas were considered for the role of the Phantom.
• A young soprano named Anne Hathaway was considered for the role of Christine, but she was too busy with Princess Diaries 2 
• The script calls for the theater to be on fire. So the director literally set it on fire.
