Some movies that fall into obscurity really deserve a second viewing — and that includes the gorgeous, magical 1995 fantasy drama A Little Princess, directed by four-time Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón.

It’s about a sweet-natured child who lives with her storybook-perfect dad — but while she waits at a fancy boarding school for him to return from WWI, the mean headmistress tells her he died, and her life turns into a hell of servitude and deprivation.

Interestingly, Liesel Matthews — born Liesel Anne Pritzker — is, like her movie character, from a wealthy family, the Pritzkers: granddaughter of financier and industrialist A.N. Pritzker, niece of Hyatt Hotel chain founder Jay Pritzker, and cousin of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.
