A lot of people don't like the 2005 version, but I liked it, especially the soundtrack and videography.

Michael Fassbender plays Rochester in the most recent version, he's pretty good!
There is a film version of Persuasion with Kiaran Hinds, with beautiful photography (Bath and Lyme Regis ) and the casting is excellent.
Oh, I truly love that version! It's very true to the book and the acting is suberb. I watch it at least once a year.
Right now, I'm awaiting a copy of A Passage to India, having just finished the book. I read that there was a lot of controversy between director and actors, but I can't wait to see the places and the portrayals of all the characters. *undignified squeeze of anticipation*

I watched the film of Lolita with James Mason and Peter Sellers ages ago. Lolita was an older teenager in the movie, but in the book she is much younger apparently.
I know there are a few of Pride and Prejudice, but have not seen any.
I have seen an older one of Jane Eyre, and I thought it was quite good.
I have seen The Secret Life of Sherlock Holmes and thought it was quite true to the characters and had a few really funny parts. Along with that, I have also seen the new Sherlock Holmes movies. I'll start a list in the next comment for easy reference!
