SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

For two sisters from a family of witches in a small, contemporary New England town, falling in love is the trickiest spell of all. They struggle to use their gift for magically guiding fate to overcome their family curse: The men they fall in love with are doomed to an untimely death!

“Practical Magic is a cult classic in my opinion. Witches, sisterhood, friendship, romance, Faith Hill’s “This Kiss” who can ask for anything more? The cast is star studded and hot. This film takes you on a magical (get it) journey. This movie holds a special place in my heart as me and my little sister watch it every year during spooky season. We both love this movie so much for my 35th birthday we got matching tattoos that my sister paid for.” –Staff Pick by Casey Gallagher, Lead Theater Manager
