1. Casper: Do I need to explain? Casper shows that kids movies back in the day are way better than junk they make now.
2. Hocus Pocus: I could watch this all day every day. Perfection. (although I could watch most of these movies a million times and never get bored, but that shouldn't take away from it's awesomeness!)
3. Beetlejuice: Ghosts, a goth Winona Ryder, what else do you need?
4. Teen Witch: An 80s classic (starring Blake Lively's older step sister), I wanted to be Louise when i was younger and would get so excited whenever this came on TV. Luckily I own it now so I don't have to worry about that.
5. Halloweentown Series (except the third...I don't like that one): They are based on Halloween and a girl who finds out she's a witch, so obviously you need to watch them.
6. Harry Potter Series: no explanation needed.
7. Clue: This is a hilarious movie based on the board game. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
8. The Black Cauldron: One of the scariest Disney movies I've seen. The Horned King would give anyone nightmares! I love old Disney, especially the ones hardly no one knows about, like this gem.
9. The Last Unicorn: This was one of my favorite movies when I was little and remains so today. There are so many amusing things I never noticed when I was younger; you'll see what I mean when you watch.
10. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: It's about candy, so obviously you have to watch it on Halloween! Not the creepy Johnny Depp version though....
Bonus: Have a Merlin marathon! Love this show so much. If you're a fan of the King Arthur legend you'll love this show, it just finished a 5 series run and shows Merlin and Arthur as young boys.
UPDATE: Lydia pointed out that I forgot Practical Magic...oops! Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as witches, with some scariness thrown in. This movie is about as scary as I go (there's one scene that totally freaks me out still)

I've seen a few of these! I just watched the original 'Carrie' for the first time this past weekend, scared the bejesus out of me.
ReplyDeleteDarn, I haven't seen a majority of these! But Hocus Pocus is my Halloween must :)

I bow to your incredible knowledge of movies I should have watched when I was a kid but mostly didn't, as always! I've seen Clue about a gazillion times though. I actually don't like it... or maybe I was just so addicted to the board game that I couldn't forgive them that the characters weren't as I imagined, hehe. But The Black Cauldron sounds great.. I read the book years ago!
ReplyDeleteOk, so I've seen one of these movies, Willy Wonka! I love that movie, but no matter how old I get those dwarfs still freak me out!
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm curious about some of these other movies, I might have to add them to my movie list...
Teen witch ! i have not seen that movie in a while..
