Great Expectations was the cause of my loathing for Dickens. His books do make decent movies though, since that forces the scriptwriter to strip away all the extaneous characters and sidebars and focus in on the main plot. Dickens really needed a good editor to be readable.
I agree with you that this list is very odd. I've read a majority of the works they cite, but many of the others hold no appeal whatsoever.
