Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist now as movie

Although I have grown much older now, I still enjoy Charles Dickens' works which always show strong sympathy and empathy for the weak, poor and marginalised or social underdogs.
Oliver Twist was first published in 1837-8. Its socio-economic background was the dark side of the dog-eat-dog capitalism in Britain in the 19th century which was so brilliantly observed and analysed by Karl Marx's lifelong intellectual partner and revolutionary comrade Frederick Engels in The Condition of the Working Class in England.
