Most magical movies I watch start with witches wanting to do a spell. They go over the spell ingredients and realize that they are missing one very important ingredient. They then spend the rest of the movie looking for it, and at the end they try to do the spell. 

Stuck in quarantine? Or just bored? Need something to watch? You’ve come to the right place! This list includes things that are NOT scary. For the latest version of this post, click [here]. I’ll update it if I watch new stuff! 

Movies

The Craft (1996) (On netflix)  This is an obvious one but it’s here nonetheless. I’m not usually into thriller/horror stuff but this movie only really has a few intense scenes. It has a nice plot and I like it because while exaggerated a bit, the representation of witchcraft in it is amazing. 

The Love Witch (2016) (On amazon prime)  I adore this movie! It is a horror movie and there are some very intense moments but like The Craft it has a nice plot and a color scheme and 60s sort of aesthetic. It’s so calm and beautiful sometimes I just forget it’s even labeled as a scary movie. Also like the craft it has an impressively accurate depiction of witchcraft. If you like witchy movies, horror movies, witchy aesthetic or practice glamour/love magic and wanna see dark twist on that then please watch this movie.  The Witch (2015) (On netflix)  This is a slow burn sort of horror movie. There’s definitely gore, but I’d describe it as more disturbing than scary. The plot is centered around the family’s slowly building suspicion that their eldest daughter is a witch. It’s certainly not realistic. But very occult-y and scary. Probably the scariest thing on this list. If you’re looking for a real horror movie, here it is.  Coraline (2009) (On netflix) I actually have a post about all the witchcraft that’s in this movie despite it never explicitly mentioning witches. Link [here] if you wanna read it. Anyways! This movie is about a girl who discovers a secret door that leads her to another world that’s much like her own. Everything is a bit off though, and her ideas about the world begin to unravel. Creepy, but not gory at all. 

Mary & The Witch’s Flower (2017) (On netflix) Looking for something feel good and not scary? This one is for you! In this movie Mary finds a hidden magical flower that leads her to a school for witches. It’s super cute, get yourself a cat and some tea and relax to this one.  Hocus Pocus (1993) This is a favorite from when I was a kid. It’s spooky but in a very Disney, kid friendly sort of way. Good for someone that wants to watch something quirky and laid back.  Halloweentown (1998) Also a favorite from when I was little! This one is about a girl who discovers her grandma is from “Halloweentown” a place where supernatural creature live, and she’s a witch. It’s not a realistic representation of witches at all but it’s also very quirky and cute. 

Shows

The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina (2018) (On netflix) I really love this show! It’s got some spooky parts like the movies mentioned above but the majority of it is just a bit dramatic at most. It has some heartfelt and funny moments too. The association with Satanism that the show has isn’t ideal but it’s still one of my favorite shows ever, definitely my favorite show about witchcraft and the occult.  Bewitched (Premiered 1964)  An oldie but a goodie. This is a sitcom from the 60s that I’ve watched since I was little. It’s about a woman, Samantha, who falls in love with a mortal and therefore has to pretend to be one. Very casual, good background noise.
