Any genre or timeframe. Classics, Modern age, to Indy.

First you have to give us a list of every movie you've ever seen so we can know what not to suggest.

Matilda
It's from a Roald Dahl book, so you'd know the characters look normal until they aren't.
No murders. A villain of immense proportions. Danny DeVito and Rita Perlman as the parents from hell, with a son following in their footsteps.

I even liked the kid who scarfed down the chocolate cake.
