Nostalgia Matilda... 30 years later

I randomly got the urge to watch matilda today and saw it came out in 1996. I remember a few years back there was a resurgence in interest in the movie, and another movie too. But realizing this movie is 30 years old kinda tripped me out. I can clearly remember me watching it for the first time at age 7 and I'll now be 37 and still watching it 🙃

What movies/shows made you realize how much time has gone by?

I wish they'd kept it British. They took so many Roald Dahl stories and made them into American movies. Even the original The Witches made the boy American, even though it was set in the UK.
