Julia Sun-Joo Lee, The American Slave Narrative and the Victorian Novel, establishes beyond reasonable doubt the substantial influence that Frederick Douglass's Narrative had on Great Expectations. It's quite enlightening. The entire book is worth reading; it's a very nifty and enjoyable piece of lit crit.

The David Lean version, in particular. Wonderful stuff. The entirety of the movie through to the end of his childhood couldn't be improved upon, I don't think; although it loses a some steam when he grows up, as the book does, imho.
