Ohmygod Madeline!! I watched it yesterday for the first time and I found my life altered in such a good way. I keep putting this off on my watchlist every year and this episode was just the push I needed to watch it. So beautiful! Ending got me teary-eyed. πŸ˜­πŸŽƒ

I love… LUHβ€”HUH-UHVE… this movie! The cast is amazing! Yes, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman and Evan Rachel Wood… but Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest as the aunts!?! Icons! I had no idea it was not more appreciated and successful! I realize I haven’t seen it in awhile now and am going to watch as soon as possible. I am so eagerly anticipating the sequel!!

Jimmy being played by Grey’s Anatomy’s own Luka… I may never recover.

They are making a sequel and I hope they don’t fuck it up.

OMFG I completely forgot to mention this in this episode but ummmm yeah they are doing that and I’m……………NOT INTERESTED!!! The Hocus Pocus sequel (which I refused to watch mind you) did not set a good precedent for this kind of a thing

It must be said: the costume designer did as much for this movie as the set designer and the music production. I love the aesthetic so much… and Nicole Kidman - has anyone ever smouldered to such a degree on film? My GOD today! πŸ₯΅

If you haven’t seen Network with Sandra Bullock, you have to see it. It’s so good. A bit dated, but she was awesome in it.

Girl, the whole series of books is phenomenal. you will LOVE them. The aunts book is my favorite 🫢 Also, I just realized from your description that Lorelei's first day of Chilton outfit is the same as Sally's running to kiss her soulmate outfit 🀣

Did you ever see Nicole Kidman’s 1995 film, To Die For? It’s one of the best movies ever!

Been waiting for this episode!!! Favorite movie of mine - greatest of all time as you'd say and I agree!!!! Fear not! You can still visit the house the set house was modeled after over on the Island! The town of Coupeville is close too and you can walk the walk way along water where she releases a leaf. Downtown. Farmers market. It's awesome - if you feel really adventurous you can hop another ferry drive couple hours and see Jacob Black's house over by Forks, WA - it's not really house from movie either but looks so much like and being near La Push it feels like it LOL. Saw Practial Magic in theater twice I can't believe it wasn't bigger! They really do hate woman, it's true. Midnight Margaritas have been a tradition in my home for ages. Thank you for this!!!!! Your taste is impeccable- hope you had an amazing birthday my lizard queen

Clapping and cheering this whole episode. I watch this movie every weekend in October culminating in a final watch on Halloween (sometimes I do one more watch on November 19th, because that's my birthday and I feel like I deserve it.)
