I should give this film a rewatch soon. Although I have seen it a couple of times, the last viewing must have been decades ago. Eventhough I enjoyed the book ( and most books by Roald Dahl ) a lot, The BFG and The Witches, as well as James and The Giant Peach have been the movie adaptations that I've watched most often. You make me realize how much of an impact Mathilda had on me as a kid, when I read it. Cheers for the reminder and yet another awesome review!
