On Netflix I just saw the 1998 remake of the novel by Dickens.
The netflix review says the following -
In this Americanized version of Charles Dickens's classic novel, set in modern-day New York, young Finn (Ethan Hawke) develops a lifelong crush on Estella (Gwyneth Paltrow), the niece of the eccentric Ms. Dinsmoor (Anne Bancroft). A mysterious benefactor makes it possible for Finn to attend art school in the city, where he runs into his now-engaged love. But when she agrees to pose for him, it unlocks the hope -- and fear -- in his heart.
In reality, this is an attempt to have Paltrow show off her figure and then misconstrue the character of Estella. Ultimately, this is a really poor remake of a very good novel. Better is the version by David Lean.
