1 / 10 10. "Great Expectations"

Another year, another "Great Expectations" adaptation, this time with Ralph Fiennes as Magwitch, Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham, and Jeremy Irvine (the emoting boy in War Horse) as Pip. This version is directed by Mike Newell, owner of the weirdest filmography ever: "Harry Potter 4," "Mona Lisa Smile," "Donnie Brasco," "Prince of Persia," and "Four Weddings and a Funeral." We're not sure how necessary this is, and there are no indications that there will be anything new and different done with Dickens, and that's why it's likely it'll probably be a perfectly competent adaptation and not much more. Still, Dickens done average is better than most anything done well.
