Donnie: The David Lean version from the late 40s is generally held to be a great, great movie. Que reccomendo. It's not a musical though. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040662/

Roman Polinski is in the midst of filming another version of Oliver Twist, and is said to be much darker then other versions out there currently.
The David Lean version of the early 1950's starring Alec Guiness as Fagin is excellent, though it often gets a lot of flack for anti-semitic overtones. You should definitely see the film version of the musical which is wonderful, though it differs slightly from the version that you see on stage. Several roles are shortened, notably Mr. Bumble and the Widow Corney, and many scenes are altered. You will also notice that the singing voice of Oliver has been overdubbed by a woman, which can be a bit jarring.
