Netflix is one of – if not – the most visited platform in my streaming service rotation. It’s been a saving grace for finding a gripping drama to immerse in, or low-key TV show for the background – but now Netflix is about to lose my favorite childhood movie of all time, and it’s hit me hard.
Danny DeVito’s Matilda (1996) is one of the movies that defined my childhood, and having owned it in every format possible, I can quote it word-for-word. Now that it’s one of the 30 movies leaving Netflix in August (it will be removed from the platform on August 1), there’s not a lot of time left to catch it, so take this as a push to watch it once more.
