Ooh, retelling. Retellings are awesome.
I actually haven't read a lot of classics (I know, shame on me as a writer), so I might not have a great answer for this. I've enjoyed retelling Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland. The Raven by Edgar Alan Poe could be interesting as a retelling. A few of my favorite classics are The Scarlet Letter, Tom Sawyer, and Fahrenheit 451, but I don't think any of those could be easily retold. Frankenstein and Jekyll and Hyde would both be good for retelling.
Interestingly enough, of the five I just suggested for retelling I've only actually read two, I'm simply familiar with the stories of the others, lol.
Hopefully that helps. :)
