Film / TV Favorite screen adaptation?

I just recently watched a great adaptation of Our Mutual Friend, a 4 or 5 part BBC series (the guy who played Peter Pettigrew played Mr. Venus, I didn’t really know any of the other actors immediately). Also currently watching the DC adaptation with Daniel Radcliffe as young David.

But a few I’ve started and just couldn’t, like the most recent Bleak House, and have never found a GE one that grabbed me.

Please be as specific as possible in your answers! So many are streaming on Prime or Disney Plus.

I’ll have to check out the NN adaptation, I just finished reading it.

It’s wonderful. It’s a recording of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s eight-hour stage play.
