The 1989 Cosgrove Hall film, based on Roald Dahl's book.

One dark night, an orphan named Sophie is snatched from her bed by a giant, and whisked away to another world. Fortunately, her abductor is the Big Friendly Giant (BFG for short), a likeable guy who spends his time giving good dreams to children. He's also the only one of his species who doesn't eat humans, but as the smallest and weakest, he's powerless to stop his brutal neighbors. As long as Fleshlumpeater, Bloodbottler, and all the rest are free, Sophie will never be safe, so she and the BFG concoct a plan to stop the evil giants and save humanity - once and for all!

This movie was a staple of my childhood, and in my opinion, it's one of the best adaptations of Dahl's work. Enjoy!

  • I LOVE this movie ...

    I LOVE this movie and the book and I was just thinking what it would be like as a live action movie. Maybe with James Cromwell and a little touch of CGI as the BFG? What do you guys think?
