- Bleak House. The 2005 adaptation of Bleak House is the sort of starry-eyed period piece the BBC is famous for, boasting a stacked cast full of familiar faces and a story that mixes traditional Dickensian melodrama with a fairly decent mystery and on-the-nose social commentary.
- A Christmas Carol. A dark take on the popular Dickens holiday classic, this 2019 BBC and FX Networks adaptation is not your mother's A Christmas Carol. Brought to you by the creator of Peaky Blinders and starring Guy Pearce, this is a much grittier and darker tale than the traditional family-friendly version of Ebeneezer Scrooge's story we normally see.
- Dickensian. This 2015 series isn't an explicit adaptation of Charles Dickens' work, but rather a creative fusion of some of its most famous elements. Set within the world of Dickens' novels, Dickensian brings together several of his most iconic characters, including Miss Havisham, Ebeneezer Scrooge, Fagin, Honoria, Lady Dedlock, and more.

- 'Great Expectations' (1946) Director: David Lean. And so it comes to pass that not only is 1946's Great Expectations the greatest of all the Great Expectations, but one could very well expect it to be considered by most as the greatest Dickens film adaptation full-stop.
- 'The Muppet Christmas Carol' (1992) Director: Brian Henson. Even though the Charles Dickens purists might think they want to keep Muppets out of their Christmas Carol adaptations, they don't.
- 'Oliver Twist' (1948) Director: David Lean. The final movies in David Lean's filmography were all about size and impressive scope; old-fashioned (and often Award-winning) cinematic epics, effectively.
