Chronicles of Prydain Dark fantasy

Kim Newman recommended Eyes Without a Face (1960) in Movies (curated)

"A lurid mad-scientist drama—scripted by Boileau and Narcejac, also of Diabolique and Vertigo, and filmed by Georges Franju as a mix of surgical surrealism, hyper-graphic horror, raincoated French policier and Cocteau-ish magical romance. Edith Scob drifts through corridors in a blank white mask and a nightgown, and Alida Valli stalks her prey in a Citroën 2CV, accompanied by Maurice Jarre’s shuddery score."

"This book is like girlhood to me somehow, even though I was already in my twenties when I first read it. I reread it every few years and it reminds me, every time, of the magical feeling I had when I first encountered the hypnotic and cool voice of its narrator, Scottish raver—and super young widow—and chainsmoker of Silk Cuts: the unforgettable Morvern Callar."

Movie Favorite

"Channel Jean Renoir through Luis Buñuel—voilà!—Jean Vigo. This, his only feature, renders the mundane magical, the sad humorous, and the flesh transcendent as it portrays young newlyweds and their life on a river barge. “All day long it’s either smooching or squabbling,” laments a companion. And so it is in this poignant, poetic paean to the beauty and tribulations of married love."

Hocus pocus is one of the best magical witchy movie I have ever watched, 3 witches, 3 kids saving the day, a quick musical number with one of the best witchy songs ever, and a candle lit by a Virgin, what's not to love about this movie
