So much magic, If you’re looking for movies that feature magic, consider the following 12 top picks as listed by the discerning folks at ScreenRant:
Magic 11 - Willo Though it is unfortunately not a lm based on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Wiccan, Ron Howard’s Willow certainly has its merits. The fantasy film stars Warwick Davis as a farmer named Willow who must babysit a child destined to defeat the evil Queen Bavmorda. On his journey, Willow masters his powers of sorcery, helped by brownies, fairies, and Val Kilmer as the swordsman Madmartigan. The newly confident Willow defeats Bavmorda and learns that good triumphs over evil, because this is a fantasy film after all.
12 - Now You See M Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson reunited after Zombieland to star in one of the most confusing movies in recent memory. Now You See Me revolves around four magicians who pull off elaborate heists as the Four Horsemen, in the hopes of getting into an order of “actual magicians” called The Eye. The lm features many great sleight-ofhand tricks and blink-or-you’ll-miss-it moments
The movie was not well-received at the time, but has since developed a cultfollowing. With a score from James Horner and effects from ILM, it’s a match made in fantasy heaven
The supporting cast features Mark Ruffalo as the FBI agent tracking the Robin-Hoodinspired Four Horsemen, and Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman in roles that surely made them a nice paycheck. While the performances are functional and the magical elements inspired, the script is inane and silly at best. Now You See Me is excellent popcorn entertainment, but signs of anything below the ashy surface are merely an illusion. We'll probably be able to say the same thing about the sequel fairly soon
10 - Practical Magi Let’s take a minute to forget that Nicole Kidman starred in that awful Bewitched adaptation from Nora Ephron. There was a time when she played a witch with a freshoff of Speed 2: Cruise Control Sandra Bullock, in the rom-com Practical Magic
