Craft Movies
This list has gone through a rigorous selection process. Only those films that meet my exacting criteria have been allowed onto the list. The criterion is: to have to have at least one character who identifies themselves as a Witch or Wiccan. Okay there is one more, the witch cannot be used soley as a way for supernatural evil to enter the plot.
- Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)
- Angela Lansbury, David Tomlinson IMDB Page
- A good witch who can sing!
- Bell, Book and Candle (1958)
- James Stewart, Kim Novack IMDB Page
- I haven't seen this movie but the reviews are delightful.
- The Craft (1996)
- Fairuza Balk, Robin Tunney IMDB Page
- While this movie has horror elements it also has some elements that I really like. Such as the comment about power being neutral, it depends on the heart of the person wielding it.
- The Crucible
- Daniel Day-Lewis, Winona Ryder IMDB Page
- More of a movie that talks about fear and bigotry not the craft. Still it is instructive.
- Hocus Pocus (1993)
- Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy IMDB Page
- Fairytale witches complete with hooked noses.
- Halloweentown (1998)
- Debbie Reynolds --Disney TV IMDB Page
- I recorded this, but still haven't managed to bring myself to watch it yet.
- I Married a Witch (1942)
- Veronica Lake, Fredric March IMDB Page
- My sister just gave this too me. I haven't watched it yet.
- Little Witches (1996)
- Mimi Reichmeister, Sheeri Rappaport IMDB Page
- Ick. I don't own this one, and am reluctant to get it. Way too much of a horror movie using witchcraft for effect.
- Practical Magic (1998)
- Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman IMDB Page
- I don't know why I love this movie so. Probably because of the house.
- Sabrina Down Under (1999)
- Melissa Joan Hart IMDB Page
- Sabrina is a hoot regardless of how hokey the movie is.
- Sabrina Goes to Rome (1998)
- Melissa Joan Hart IMDB Page
- Sabrina goes to Rome and falls in love.
- Sabrina the Teen Age Witch (1996)
- Melissa Joan Hart IMDB Page
- Again, hokey but fun.
- Sleepy Hollow (1999)
- Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci IMDB Page
- I loved this movie, did anyone else see it?
- Supergirl (1984)
- Faye Dunaway, Helen Slater IMDB Page
- I can barely remember this one. Except that witches (even beautiful ones) have to use their magic to attract men. Icky thought!
- Teen Witch (1989)
- Robyn Lively, Zelda Rubinstein IMDB Page
- An interesting piece for the juvenile audience more about popularity and peer pressure than the craft.
- Witches, The (1990)
- Anjelica Huston, Mai Zetterling IMDB Page
- The funniest stereotype of witches I've ever seen. Hags who hate children, have purple eyes and no toes. *giggle* Just too extreme to be taken seriously.
- Witches of Eastwick (1987)
- Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer IMDB Page
- The acting was fabulous, the sets were great and who wouldn't want hair like theirs?
- Wizard of Oz, The (1939)
- Judy Garland, Frank Morgan IMDB Page
- A classic of course.
- Worst Witch (1986)
- Diana Rigg, Charlotte Rae IMDB Page
- A funny movie by Disney with a great guest appearance by Tim Curry. Interestingly enough Fairuza Balk plays the good girl witch in this movie and ten years later plays the bad girl witch in The Craft.
