4. MATILDA
“Incredibly fun! A great movie for all ages!”
Leo Quinones, KIIS-FM
See the world from a kid’s-eye view with
Matilda, a modern fairy tale that mixes
hilarious humor with the magical message of
love.
Mrs. Doubtfire’s Mara Wilson stars as
Matilda, a super-smart little girl who’s
woefully misunderstood by her parents
(Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman), her
brother, and an evil school principle. But
with the help of a brave best friend and a
wonderful teacher, Matilda discovers she
doesn’t have to get mad to get even. Filled
with a subversive sense of wit and whimsy,
Matilda is a “great comedy with a great
message. The adults laugh as much, if not
more, than the kids.” – Elaine Blythe, FILM

5. THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
“A monumental achievement!”
Rod Lurie, LOS ANGELES
Few movies capture the triumph of the
human spirit as memorably as The
Shawahank Redemption. Morgan Free-
man and Tim Robbins star in this powerful
nominee for seven Academy Awards
based on a Stephen King story.
Freeman plays “Red” Redding, a lifer who
knows the ropes at Maine’s Shawshank
State Prison. Robbins is new inmate Andy
Dufrense, a quiet banker unjustly
convicted of murder. Andy’s indomitable
will earns Red’s friendship; his
resourcefulness brings hope and change
to the entire prison. Andy is full of
surprises – and he saves his best for last.
Written and directed by Frank Darabont
(The Green Mile), The Shawahank
Redemption is “an engrossing, superbly
acted yarn.” – Tom Charity, Time Out Film
Guide.

FILMS

13. IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE
No one is born to be a failure. No
one is poor who has friends. Simple
thoughts that were the inspiration for
one of the richest, most uplifting,
most beloved American films ever
made. Frank Capra’s classic tale of
George Bailey and his Christmas Eve
visit visit with a guardian angel was
nominated for five Oscars including
Best Picture, Best Director and Best
Actor. After more than 50 years it
remains as powerful and moving as
the day it was made.

14. BONNIE AND CLYDE
“Bold and brassy, brutal and brilliant!” -
Kathleen Carroll, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Adrift in the Depression-era Southwest,
Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker embark on
a life of crime. They mean no harm. They
crave adventure – and each other. Soon we
start to love them too. But nothing in the
film history has prepared us for the
cascading violence to follow. Bonnie and
Clyde turns brutal. We learn they can be
hurt – and dread they can be killed.
Bonnie and Clyde balances itself on a knife-
edge of laughter and terror, thanks to vivid
title-role performances by Warren Beatty
and Faye Dunaway and superb support from
Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman and
Estelle Parsons, who won 1967’s Best
Supporting Actress Academy Award.
Director Arthur Penn keeps the film’s
sensibilities tough but never cruel. It
continually dazzles, especially in the work of
cinematographer Burnett Guffey (winner of
the fim’s second Oscar) and editor Dede
Allen. And as film lovers since have
discovered, it’s no ordinary gangster movie.
