Witches: are there any good movies that represent Witchcraft more or less accurately?

or are they all full of nonsense?I just saw "Willow" which had some references to magic. I didn't like it at all. Anyone else see it?

I really like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and her wicca friend Willow.

TV Series- CHARMED- apparently has some pretty good research done. But they do mix in a lot of drama in it also... it is after all entertainment.Movie: The Craft, Practical Magic ( nicole kidman, sandra bullock)

I have never seen one that gave any serious thought to portraying witchcraft in a truthful theme. Some make an effort but over all they usually fail. I am afraid that media is a reflection of the standard belief in this country of what most think of witchcraft. Some day maybe we'll see one but I doubt it will be in my lifetime.

The 1973 version of "The Wicker Man" is accurate in many respects, although nowadays it's darn hard to get away with human sacrifices. Not many of us have an island where we can be quite so isolated from the muggles.But you must understand that to make a movie that accurately depicts magic, and has no negative elements, you would not make a box-office hit. Enough people believe witches are up to something wicked (note the similarities of those two words in English) that unless you could cook up one where the witchcraft was used to solve a mystery or something, you wouldn't get far.Actually, there are some really accurate elements in that most fanciful of series, Harry Potter. Sorting out the real from the fictional is an interesting puzzle. (Reference below.)I'll be looking at the other answers to this one; I'd like to find good examples myself.

So far no.People just don't want to see a movie of witch's doing good and helping others.We got a bad rap from those that just wont hear the truth.So movies let them see what they wont mean evil witch's casting evil spells and killing.Oh well what can be done?Blessed Be
