Hocus Pocus (1993)


Disney's cult classic about a trio of kids accidentally unleashing a curse and battling an ancient coven of witches. This one flopped upon release but found its audience years later through a constant appraisal during the Halloween season. While this is a family-friendly comedy (with notes of darkness), it's the kind of "PG" that would automatically be considered "PG-13" by today's standards, simply because everything has gotten watered down and kids are more sheltered than ever. This is a relic of a bygone era, and one I love to revisit time and time again.
Sarah Jessica Parker has never been hotter.
