As for Jane Eyre, I'm only aware of one film (the Orson Welles one, where a young Elizabeth Taylor dies an early death) before this year's effort, but there have been a lot of mini-series. Frankly, I think that one reason is that Jane Eyre is easier to film. Wuthering Heights presents problems of narration and timeline (its core story ends mid-book).
I stand corrected on Wuthering Heights. I counted the multiple mini-series as movie adaptations of Jane Eyre as well.
