Even more and more movies about magic are coming out with movie magic as a sole purpose such as the Harry Potter series which is full of wizardry and magic spells. The list of magic movies is long and distinguished. The illusionist was a great movie dealing with magic spells.

Movies and magic have been around for many years and they have always been able to draw millions to the box office to see them and then going on to become box office hits. Harry Potter and the Twilight Series are the first two who come to mind when I think about this subject matter. From very small young children, teenagers and even adults, many love to watch movies about magic. Everywhere you look the movie studios are making just these types of movies that range in subject matter that entertains age groups from small children to adults. These magic movies can be about fairy god mothers to sorcery and witchcraft.

One of the all time favorite movies and it is still watched today and that is Bed Knobs and Broomsticks. This was a combination of both fantasy and magic. To go back in time some there have even been television shows and not just movies about magic. Some shows that come to mind is the long running classic about magic is the show Bewitched. This show was so popular during its original run that it has been syndicated and forty years after it began generation after generation is able to experience its contribution to fantasy and magic. In fact back in 2005 this show as remade into a movie starring Nicole Kidman as Samantha. A more modern show that can be found on the Disney Channel is the Wizards of Waverly Place. This hour long show has become a very popular hit with children of all ages and its popularity just continues to grow with each episode. Charmed is a modern day show about magic. It aired for about 8 years or so but it was about three sisters who have to live their lives as normally as possible while fighting off demons and keeping the world safe.

One great older movie with magic that comes to mind starred some of my favorite actors. This was Witches of Eastwick and it starred, Jack Nicholson, Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon. One of the biggest new hits is the Twilight series. This series of movies is expected to break records based on the fact that the first Twilight movie was a low budget hit that made hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. New Moon is the next Twilight movie to hit theaters due out in November and is set to break all sorts of movie records. This movie isn’t about magic but the theme of the movie is set in the same genre as other movies on magic. The Harry Potter movies, in the same genre as the Twilight Series, has been named the most successful of the magic movies series or fantasy since Star Wars was released.

The more I write the more magic shows and movies come to mind. If someone were to sit down and make a list to name movies and magic they would be surprised by the fact that their list would name hundreds of movies and television shows that have been about the subject of magic. As long as people are willing to go out or even stay home and watch movies about magic the studios will continue to create them to meet the demand of the audience.
