Charles dickens books made into movies

Charles Dickens was among the most prolific authors of the 19th century, alongside contemporaries like Thomas Hardy and Jane Austen.

He's widely known—by kids and adults alike—for his detailed stories chock-full of eccentric characters (and a bit of the supernatural).

Writing from his own experiences, Dickens's canon mainly focuses on subjects like class divide, urban poverty, and the social degradation in Europe at the time.

Somehow, all of these are still relevant today.

From time-traveling ghosts to coming-of-age bildungsromans, there's something for everyone in Dickens's literary worlds that have been connecting with readers for generations.

And, naturally, filmmakers have translated many of them into movies and TV shows.

Here are our picks for the best movies and TV shows that are adapted from or heavily inspired by Charles Dickens.
