The Witches, 1990 - ★★★½


It's Dahl's story rather than Roeg's direction that carries the film. Smart, creepy and funny it stands up incredibly well to adult eyes 25 years later (even if most of The Witches appear to be bald men in dresses). The effects all work incredibly well and the puppet mice are much more adorable than their modern day CG counterparts would be.
