In fact, I saw it before I ever read the book and (is this heresy?) like it slightly better than the book. Okay, it's not perfect. But it's really good. Matilda was written in that short decade or so when I wasn't really reading children's books. LOVE the movie!

That's so cool! The third of the books on today's list that I can't remember if I voted for or not. I voted for it LAST time, but it was down in the debatable section this time around. These almost-votes deserve as much love as my actual votes, anyway! You gave a shout-out to Rusted Root! That’s so cool!

(I also note that perhaps b/c of Danny DeVito's involvement, it's got one of the few positive -- or at least, not negative -- portrayals of fat kids in children's movies.) Love the book -- tho I see my older daughter listed it in her 10 best list, while I chose Charlie instead. Can't WAIT for the musical! My kids love the movie — and I agree, no objections.

The movie is one of those rare, magical treats that really capture the spirit of the book. And I love your connection between Matilda and Harry Potter. I've always thought there were echoes of Mr. Wormwood in Mr. Dursley! Same here. The movie is one of those rare, magical treats that really capture the spirit of the book.
