Matilda (1996) (Special Edition) - Blu-ray Forum

Quote:

Matilda Wormwood (Wilson) is an extremely curious and intelligent little girl who is very different from her low-brow, mainstream parents (DeVito, Perlman), who quite cruelly ignore her. As she grows older, she begins to discover that she has telekinetic powers. Not until a teacher shows her kindness for the first time does she realize that she can use those powers to do something about her sufferings and help her friends as well. Villains from the awful Miss Trunchbull (Ferris), headmistress of her miserable school Crunchem Hall, to her parents and older brother begin to feel her ire.

Based on the novel by Roald Dahl, MATILDA was directed by DeVito from a screenplay by Nicholas Kazan and Robin Swicord. The film was executive produced by Michael Peyser and Martin Bregman, with Danny DeVito, Michael Shamberg Stacey Sher and Liccy Dahl serving as producer

This was the weirdest movie ever. All I remember is a German lady killing kids that can fly and a fat kid ate lots of cake.

A fantastic film. DeVito really brought Roahl Dahl's story to life beautifully here, can't wait to upgrade this one.

tvshowfan · 08-01-2013, 05:55 PM

Is it only available at Wal-Mart? Does anyone know if it will be available to purchase on Amazon?

Thanks!

redrunner97 · 08-01-2013, 06:23 PM

I'm so excited.

Eeeeeekhhaaahh?! (Girly Scream).

Absolutely. Any day now.

I've been waiting for this forever as Matilda's one of my favorite films. Amazon Prime just added it to their roster, and it's presented in widescreen, likely from the new BD master. I was expecting this to come sooner rather than later because Mara Wilson posted pictures from the cast reunion last month which she confirmed was filmed for a supplement.

Twisted-Alien · 08-01-2013, 10:58 PM

I haven't seen this in YEARS. Definitely adding this to my collection. Might even be a day one purchase.

Someone should send this to Doug as a gag gift.

I didn't realize there were other tgwtg fans around these parts. Nice.

Really? Tootsie, The China Syndrome, Sense & Sensibility, Guess Who's coming to Dinner? get Europe releases BY SONY, and the U.S. gets Ishtar and this.
