- Matilda (1996) As a precocious young elementary schooler, the titular Matilda (Mara Wilson) is a genius, but her ignorant parents (played by Rhea Perlman and an excellent Danny DeVito, who also directed) refuse to acknowledge her brilliance.
- The Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) Most of Dahl's heroes are small children, but Wes Anderson's meticulous stop-motion masterpiece puts Mr. Fox front and center, voiced to cussing perfection by George Clooney.
- Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) Dahl himself wasn't a fan of Mel Stuart's 1971 musical and how it deviated from the book, and, to be fair, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is not quite a faithful adaptation.
- James and the Giant Peach (1996) Dahl imbued all of his stories with some sense of magic, but James and the Giant Peach is perhaps the most outright fantastical.
