The strange thing is that the only Dickens story I've read is A Christmas Carol, but I've seen old British and American movies from the 1930s and 1940s like Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, and David Copperfield. Great movies. I remember really liking Great Expectations. I've seen the 1946 version twice. They're all good.
