I've never seen the movie and have no intention of doing so, but I own the original comics (in the annotated deluxe oversized hardcover editions).
I've read Dracula and Picture of Dorian Grey (both long before LoEG, DG incidentally is not in the comics, nor is Tom Sawyer), started on King Solomon's Mines for Allan Quatermain (though due to a different influence) and Jekyll and Hyde, am familiar with War of the Worlds and Invisible Man (in adaptation) and Sherlock Holmes, will one day try Fu Manchu and Zola's Nana and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
From the comics, there's references to tonnes of other public domain literary stuff, such as Pollyanna and What Katy Did and Fanny Hill* for people to try. One could assemble quite a reading list.
* Not what Katy did, in case you were wondering, but that section of the GN may still scar your childhood, though perhaps not nearly as much as Lost Girls would.
