Every Buffy episode emphasizes magic and the supernatural. One of the first episodes in the first season involved witchcraft specifically (the cheerleader and her mom). And of course Willow and Tara. I find the entire Buffy series is aging well. The episodes are still by and large enjoyable and compelling. This was TV at its finest.

One of my daughter's favorite movies. Love the magic overtones when the girls cast their summoning spell and throw the popcorn over their shoulders during the big storm. The characters, setting, story are charming and ideal for teens and pre-teens - as well as adults. I want to live in the house on the beach. I want to be the cool marine biologist mom or her lucky daughter.

This made-for-TV show is excellent. Sam Neill makes a terrific Merlin and is accompanied by a bewitching trio - Isabella Rosselini as Nimue, Helena Bonham Carter as Morgan le Fey, and Miranda Richardson as Queen Mab. All three are spectacular. It's a feel good family movie that is exciting, spooky, compelling, stunningly beautiful, it has everything anyone could want in a movie.

Not overtly magical but imbued with magic. I identify with atheist single mom Vianne with young daughter Anouk (about my daughter's age) who falls for Johnny Depp (who wouldn't) - he's even my age. Love fixing up the shop and the chocolate scenes. Also Lena Olin dancing on the boat and strutting her stuff as the new bar owner. I wonder how many women opened chocolate shops after seeing this movie.

I guess no discussion of magic can omit Harry Potter. By and large enjoyable with fun and sometimes intense magic scenes - love Hermione fixing Harry's glasses, living paintings and newspaper clippings, feasts appearing on the long tables - troll-interrupted Halloween feast in first movie is particularly stunning. Can't forgive J.K. Rowling for killing off Sirius Black - my favorite character.
