Rating: PG
One of many whimsical Roald Dahl titles adapted to film, Matilda stands out as one of the very best. It tells the story of a highly intelligent little girl who also happens to possess some magical powers, which she cleverly uses to set straight the loathsome people in her life, including her awful parents (Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman) and school principal.
