I strongly reccommend MATILDA. My teenage students  loved it, and it can be
exploited in different ways:\

The Characters:  I had groups of students analyse -while watching the film-
one of the main characters. After they had all appeared,I stopped the VCR ,
they joined in groups, exchanged notes and wrote a description of one of the
characters (physical description, personality, hobbies, likes, etc)

Anticipating: The video was shown in three sessions and after each one they
were asked to speculate on what could happen next.

Comprehension tasks:  for example> Which was Miss Honey's secret? How did
Matilda help her?

Role plays:  some of the scenes are great and allow you to have your
students learn new vocabulary and practice pronunciation and intonation
since they must
"sound" like the angry nasty principal, the sweet lovely teacher, etc.
