Matilda (1996)
Matilda ist ein Kind von bemerkenswerter Intelligenz und mit außergewöhnlichen, telekinetischen Begabungen gesegnet. Leider sind ihre egoistischen und dümmlichen Eltern, der schmierige Gebrauchtwagenhändler Harry Wurmwald und die aufgetakelte Bingospielerin Zinnia, viel mehr mit sich und dem Fernseher beschäftigt, als zu bemerken, dass Matilda ein Genie ist. Und die Schule, die sie für ihre Kleine aussuchen, gleicht einem Gefängnis: Die gemeine Direktorin Knüppelkuh führt ein wahres Schreckensregiment. Doch Matilda setzt sich mit ihren besonderen Fähigkeiten zu Wehr - und dann steht nicht nur die ganze Schule Kopf ...
