    Nineteen Eighty-Four
    The Hobbit
    I wouldnt consider Roald Dahl as classic literature but since Shiny did I'll add him to my list too
    I read Treasure Island at a later age so it didnt incept itself into my brain as great literature but it was enjoyable enough.
    I read The Jungle Book and liked it at the time but looking back the writing style was quite bland

    As for movies/shows about classic literature I did not read but still enjoyed
    Pride and Prejudice (2005) my only problem with this movie was that they took out the dance where Elizabeth refuses to dance with Mr Darcy which I felt was important for conceptual symmetry
    Sherlock (the new series)
    Sherlock Holmes (the movies with Robert Downey, Jr)
    Sense and Sensibility (I dont know whether I liked the Miniseries or the movie with Snape more)
    Romeo + Juliet (1996)
    Oliver!
    Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) even though it probably had very little to do with the source material
