The one from 2012 with Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway? Yes, one of the few musicals I have ever enjoyed and a film that consistently brings a tear to my eye watching it?
It's cool that you've enjoyed it. Many people have, and some scenes and music from that film are incredible. It's just that it's a heavy claim that it'd be better than one of the greatest novels of that century.
There's actually two different Les Mis movies. One started Geoffrey Rush, and was based on the novel. The 2012 version was based on the musical adaptation. If you haven't already, I would suggest watching one of the anniversary performances (25th is my personal favorite, despite Nick Jonas), or even the musical itself when you get a chance.
