Re: what are your favorite classics?

[rubbertea]

i personally put children's classics in their own category in my mind, but they're definitely considered classics. and roald dahl is awesome. what's your favorite book of his? mine is the witches.

I really love Great Glass Elevator, and I'm really sad that we'll never get a movie version of it. Matilda, Charlie, Witches, and James are all awesome too.

Both movie versions of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had their charms but also had some HUGE flaws, and i had even bigger problems with the movie versions of James and the Giant Peach (Spiker and Sponge tracked him down? WTF?) and the Fantastic Mr. Fox (the "cuss" bullshit isn't funny. stop it.)
and, no, the problems I just cited aren't my only two problems with those movies.
so I'm kind of relieved there isn't a movie version of Great Glass Elevator. They'd probably have the Vermicious Knids singing and completely eliminate the idiot president and the insane nanny vice president and do who knows what else wrong.

I thought the Tim Burton one was really good. It was pretty accurate other than the added father thing and slightly altered ending. But I thought he got the point of the book and the characters in a way the earlier one didn't. I don't like the Gene Wilder one even though its the classic because I don't think it really gets the book.

Oh man, that's a hard question. The Witches is definitely right up there, but I have a gigantic soft spot for Matilda and The BFG. So I'd say those three sort of swap around for favorites depending on my mood. (At the moment, I think I'm leaning to Matilda, though!)

I saw the movie before reading the book, and finding that the main character originally remains a mouse and therefore will die around the same time as his grandmother was both heartbreaking and consoling as a kid.

I recall being very affected by The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More (especially the swan story), but every time I try to decide between the rest of his kids' books, I remember a great scene from another one... So maybe The Witches wins out for the ending.
