![]() ![]() Based on John Updike's novel of the same name, The Witches of Eastwick is a dark fantasy-comedy that despite never attaining outright love from critics was nominated for two Academy Awards and won a BAFTA for Best Special Effects. The film features an outstanding cast, starring the likes of Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfieffer in the main roles as well as Jack Nicholson. The '80s were a time of big hair and even bigger magic, as The Witches of Eastwick is definitely one of the best movies about magic. Sleight successfully subverts its genre and some of the more annoying tropes it holds, resulting in a film that is truly one of a kind. Things get hairy for Bo when a drug kingpin moves in on his turf and soon finds himself in over his head when Tina is kidnapped. Using magnets, Bo is able to perform a trick where he is able to make anything float in midair. Sleight follows street magician Bo (Jacob Latimore), who moonlights selling drugs at night after he is tasked with taking care of his younger sister Tina (Storm Reid) due to the untimely death of their parents. With a medium-sized cast and a wholly original story, Sleight may be the magical movies genre's best-kept secret. The magical mystery film saw positive reviews from critics and premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. ![]() The indie film sees a young Storm Reid shortly before rocketing to fame thanks to Euphoria and was able to amass $4 million at the box office against a $250,000 budget. ![]() Sleight is quite a unique entry into the action-drama genre and is arguably one of the best movies about magic.

Jen goes on a long winding journey full of extraordinary creatures and spell-binding magic. Jen is burdened with healing a long-shattered crystal in order to fulfill a prophecy that will see order to their homeland restored after the evil Skeksis race has wreaked havoc. The Dark Crystal has deep lore surrounding the story, but the basics see a young Gelfling named Jen who is tasked with a large quest. The Dark Crystal turned out to be such a classic that a prequel series was made for Netflix in 2019 and won an Emmy. The animatronics used in the movie were considered groundbreaking technology for the time period, and fantasy illustrator Brian Froud used his work with Henson in this film to grease the wheels for Labyrinth. Drawing away from his typical happy-go-lucky muppets, Dark Crystal is a much darker fantasy film than Henson's previous family-friendly entries. “Lynch’s notable voice and Irish roots only embellish and build on the powerful, fast-paced thriller penned by Sam Blake, for a unique listening experience,” Bolinda said.īolinda previously published the audio editions of Blake’s police procedural series featuring Irish detective Cat Connolly, the first of which was shortlisted for Irish Crime Novel of the Year.Jim Henson is one of the greatest creative forces of the 20th century and his film The Dark Crystal is one of the best movies about magic.
