How many movies or TV shows are there based on a story or novel by Charles Dickens? |

Hundreds. Copyright laws were unheard of in Dickens's time and his works were openly plagerized, spoofed, and parodied from the beginning. Many publishers and theatre owners built sizable fortunes this way, though Dickens never received a farthing for the use of his words and ideas.
His stories have been made into movies as long as their have been movies, and TV, having a much shorter turn-around time, has followed along, often using only a scene or subplot of a story.
