Poor you, you've probably never seen it have you poor dear.

[Dominic]

I've seen it and there are far superior films.

I'm not quite sure there is.

Matilda making the pancakes to 'Send Me On My Way' which isn't even one of the best scenes from the film is better than other children's movie scene.

[Braden]

Literally one of my favourite films of all time :p

[Daniel-X]

Same!

[Tom4784]

It's excellent but it's no Labyrinth, Princess Bride or Beauty and the Beast/Lion King is it?

[Firewire]

It's fantastic

[Will.]

It's my fav children's film, never gets boring.

[Daniel-X]

Loving this poll!

[Smithy]

Oh MESS I got Matilda confused with Madeline :bored:

[Braden]

Madeline is also iconic

[Amy Jade]

Hocus Pocus and Homeward Bound exist so no.

[Toy Soldier]

Nah. It's good, both my kids love it, but it's not THE best.

[Denver]

Billy Elliot says hello

[Black Dagger]

Billy Elliot says hello

Since when the bloody hell was Billy Elliot a children's film?

[Black Dagger]

And yes. Yes it is :clap1:

I remember being allowed a treat when I learned to tie my shoelaces and I got myself the DVD. So it's always been iconic for me.

[Denver]

It's a family film just like Matilda

Absolute best line of the film (his timing is perfect). And best character in the film, just FYI.

[Crimson Dynamo]

It's not even the best Roald Dahl film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is :hee:

[Kizzy]

Charlie and the chocolate factory for me.

[Daniel-X]

Well everyone who voted no clearly hasn't either seen the film or is trying to be 'edgy' 'indie' or 'urban' by voting something different, shame on you

[Daniel-X]

Erm why has the poll options changed

[reece(:]

One of my all times favs.

Ms Trunchbull was chilling

[Braden]

Lavender and Matilda are friendship goals.

[Jack_]

[Daniel-X]

WHY are all these women married?!

[RileyH]

Ugh I LOVE this film

[Calderyon]

Never seen it, never will.

[Eddie.]

Though I LOVED the film, I picked no.

It’s nowhere near superior to films such as The Lion King and Mulan, also to recent films, such as Coco, Moana, Frozen etc.

[Daniel-X]

There’s fish fingers in the microwave

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Hocus pocus is my fav :’)

[Daniel-X]

Hocus pocus is my fav :’)

The best Halloween film I agree! Although Truncbull and Zinnia >>>>>

[glibberglobber]

American production of a British book

Neverending Story.

[Oliver_W]

Charlie and the chocolate factory for me.

I'm gonna assume (hope!) you mean Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory? That Tim Burton thing is ass cancer.

[Marsh.]

The Tim Burton one is closer to the tone of the book.

The singing ruined the Gene Wilder one. Even Roald Dahl hated it.

Being true to a book isn't always a good thing. Witches of Eastwick is a great film, but completely different from the book which
spent ages bitching about menstrual stuff and ended with Daryl running away with a man

I never said it did. But it's the superior adaptation of the story.

Give me that any day over "Cheer UP Charlieeeee!!!"

But it's so magical :(

I loved when she danced with the broom though. And the sweet shop guy is daddy goals.

[Gstar]

Yes

Madeline is also iconic
This too
