I met the love of my life during this film. She passed away this film means the world that you're covering it. We were watching this in class back in highschool when I was 16 and she was 15. This film will always have a special place in my heart. ♥️
Practical Magic is 25 years ago and I still remember the first time I saw it. It's become a feel-good comfort movie. The sound track is part of that, but it checks a lot of boxes.
Stockard Channing also starred in "The West Wing," and "Grease," She won't two Emmys for the West Wing" and "The Matthew Shepherd Story" as won SAG awards. She won a different award for her role in " Practical Magic." Dianne Wiest won 2 Oscar's for "Bullets Over Broadway " and "Hannah and Her Sisters." She also starred in "Birdcage" and "Lost Boys."
This is my wife (of 60 years) Sharon's favorite Halloween movie. We watched it together with you two, which brought us such joy. We were so happy that you liked it. Thank you for the smiles and laughter you bring into our lives and all the little ups and downs, Tears and Happiness that make elderly homebound life worth living.
"Midnight Margaritas!" This thing about Practical Magic maybe not being a Halloween movie... I mean it's about two sisters who are witches, which are a big part of Halloween. Also, listen... if Die Hard can be a Christmas movie because it takes place on Christmas Eve, then Practical Magic can definitely be Halloween movie! Also, this movie is such a gem. It has comedy, romance, supernatural and such chemistry between the actresses. It’s beautiful and the soundtrack is also fire. Sandra Bullock is so vulnerable and enchanting in this movie!
Something I didn’t catch onto with this movie until many years later is that it wasn’t just the sisters who broke the curse. It was all the woman of the town coming together to accept them. Maria was outcast by the town and got her heart broken so the town accepting them broke the curse instead. So beautiful!
Amazing spellbinding reaction. 👍🏼 The jump on his arms kiss combo is a direct result of the aunts casting a spell on Sally because they felt her misery. What they didnt intend was that what was supposed to be a harmless fling would grow to a strong love that triggered the Owen's curse. Hope this clarifies. 😊
Dianne Weist who played the other Aunt was previously in The Bird Cage as (Senator Keeley) Gene Hackman's wife. She has also been in The Lost Boys with very short hair.
The cop is played by Aidan Quinn, who is, in my opinion, one of the greatest underrated actors out there. His first role was a film called "Reckless"...a great film. Based on his acting in that film, you'd never guess it was his first. It's unfortunate he wasn't in more.
I first saw him in Benny & Joon, one of my favorite Johnny Depp films, a very underrated performance. Aidan's performance was also very good in it. I highly suggest she watch it for the channel.
Alice Hoffman wrote the book, Practical Magic. In the last 5 years she has written two prequels and one sequel to this story. So, maybe more movies in the future. I would not be opposed to a series.
You might, also, recall, Diane Wiest as the reverends' wife from Footloose.,, Sally's husband, Michael [Mark Feuerstein] had his own tv series, Royal Pains, which lasted for 7 seasons, and Kylie Owens was played by Evan Rachel Wood, the star of Westworld [2016-2022].
I am SO glad you watched this, I knew you’d love it!!! My sister and I just had our annual Halloween viewing last weekend- and yes, we cry every time at the end 😅
I love this movie because Sandra Bullock, Diane Wiest (you may remember her from The Lost Boys as the mother), Stockard Channing, Goran Visnjic, and Stevie Nicks singing Crystal as well as the variations on the song used in the movie and other music in this. Still have the soundtrack cd I bought after seeing it.
I can't believe Jimmy Fallon ignored Nicole Kidman when she was interested in him. She even said "he wasn't interested." He must have been out of his mind.
@@brendaleeirizarry1724 You must have watched a different interview because the ones I've seen he knew. His excuse was "It wasn't because I wasn't interested, its because you were out of my..." The last word in that was "league." That means Jimmy knew Nicole was interested in him, but she was SO CRAZY HOT that he felt unworthy of her. That's the real reason he ignored her. He was afraid of what could of happened to him if she later broke up with him. That's the real sad part of their encounter. The tragedy was Nicole made more than one attempt to get his attention because she really loved him. Her remembering all the details years later is more tragic because it wasn't a small detail in her life.
3:49 The one on the left is Stockard Channing (she was the narrator at the beginning) she played Rizzo in "Grease". On the right is Dianne Wiest, who's been in quite a bit, including "Parenthood" as Gary's mom, she was also the mother in the original "Footloose" as well as "The Lost Boys"...another movie you girls should check out.
I'm so happy you watched Practical Magic. It's my most rewatchable movie (I stopped counting how many times I've watched it...) because it so comforting. And that HOUSE!!! I'm in love!!! I knew you were going to love it! ☺💖
I've always liked this movie, but it is one of my wife's all-time favorites. She is drawn to movies and shows about sisters, not because she didn't have any, but because none of her (much older) siblings were ever really close to her. Movies can be a great form of vicarious wish-fulfillment in that respect. And I wish Sandra Bullock & Nicole Kidman had worked together more.
I have 1 blue eye and 1 green eye, so I grew up with people always asking me if I've seen this movie. It really is such a great movie. I love the girl power movies! You should watch Red Eye with Rachel McAdams, another girl power suspense movie.
I love love love the end scene with all of the women coming together. And the scene where Gillian is begging Sally to let her go makes me tear up no matter how many times I've seen this movie.
Evan Rachel Wood so talented at such a young age. Thirteen (2003) was her breakout role, I didn't realize she had done any big movies prior to that. She was only 10 or so when filming this. Impressive.
Thank you ladies for your amazing reaction to this magical movie. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman were amazing, and how they showed each other lives diverge but that they had that bond was incredible. This was not only a lovely feel good movie, but a movie about the bonds between family and powerful women. Thank you for your time and channel, have a lovely day.
You would love Benny and Joon. Aiden Quinn (Sandra's wished-for hero) plays Benny. Also starring Mary Stuart Masterson (Joon), and Johnny Depp. A lovely romance.
Did you also know that one of Sandra Bullock's earliest roles was in the spin off movie Bionic Showdown, the second of the Six Million Dollar Man movies where she was cast as the new Bionic Woman.
I'm so happy that you reacted to this together! It's one of my top 5 movies of all time, and I watch it (at least) every Halloween. Thank you for sharing your joy with us.
AIDEN QUINN is the actor that played the male lead that was also in Legends of the Fall. He, Johnny Depp, and Mary Stuart Masterson are great in the quirky early 90's cult classic BENNY & JOON. A truly underrated movie, and a young Johnny Depp in a great role.
I also loved him in Blink(1993). Nowadays a sadly forgotten 90s thriller, starring the beautiful Madeleine Stowe and a sexy Aidan. It has great suspense and awesome fiddle music.
Director Griffin Dunne is the 'friend killed' in AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. He's also the star of one of the most fun but strangest films, AFTER HOURS.
This is my favorite movie ! I get soooo emotional watching and even talking about it 🖤 10:17 yes that was their first kiss/encounter . Her aunties cast a love spell on them
I think Nicole Kidman's character has shown a change of demeanor already - to a more responsible person. At (22:15), when she hears her red-haired niece say the same words that she as a kid (4:10) said - "I can't wait to fall in love!", she warns her: _"if you're not careful, if you don't keep your eyes on something still, you can lose your balance. You can't see that you're about to fall."_
My late wife loved this movie and I'm quite fond of it as well even though it is THE chick flick. Great acting and an interesting story. Loved that the sisters and aunts had the red and white striped stockings at the end. It reminds of the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz. Another great reaction ladies!
Stockard Channing (Aunt Frannie was in Grease and a very brief role in First Wives Club (a great one if you haven’t seen it) and Dianne Wiest was also the kind mom from Edward Scissorhands who took him in.
The women who raised them were Aunt Jet (Diane Weist) and Aunt Franny (Stockard Channing). Stockard Channing has been in a ton of things, including Rizzo from Grease, and First Lady Abbey Bartlett in The West Wing. Diane was the mom in The Lost Boys, one of Steve Martin's sisters in Parenthood (Oscar Nom), the mom in Footloose, the mom is Edward Scissorhands. and a lot more. You may know the director Griffin Dunne from his acting roles. He was the titke character in An American Werewolf in London, and the teacher the main young girl has a crush on in My Girl. The cop is Aiden Quinn who was in Legends of the Fall with Brad Pitt. Jack the dead husband was the film debut of Mark Feuerstein who I know as the lead of Royal Pains. You might kniw him from What Wimen Want.
Every Sandra Bullock movie?! Some deep-cut favorites of mine: The Thing Called Love - she plays a country singer, Love Potion Number 9 - she plays a scientist, and the Lake House really got me for some reason - she plays opposite Keanu again in that one 😍
@@vanyadolly😂 I have the same feeling whenever I watch another of Jack Nicholson's movies: "Something's Gotta Give" with Diane Keaton. She dumps a bowl of cherries into a colander in the sink. Eventhough the movies are years apart I always think "too soon !" ,lol. 😂❤😂
I've liked this movie for a long time (honestly, not really up my alley, but it is really entertaining). But the moment I saw it on this channel, I just knew they'd devour it!
Mark Feuerstein who played Michael (Sally’s first husband) was also Toni Collette’s love interest in In Her Shoes, which you absolutely need to see if you’ve never seen it. It’s also a sister story, this time with Cameron Diaz!
During the Midnight Margaritas scene, they were actually drunk and drinking. Not as much as they were pretending to be, but there was real alcohol going down. 😂
As others have mentioned, this movie has a great cast. But I haven't seen anyone mention Evan Rachel Wood, who played Kylie, the daughter who first sees the spirit of Jimmy. Wood played a central character in the TV series, 'WestWorld'. And also starred in the 2003 movie, 'Thirteen'.
Stockard Channing (Aunt Francis), besides Grease, is well known for her role on 'The West Wing' as First Lady Dr. Abigail Bartlet for which she won an Emmy, and she is an accomplished stage actress having won a Tony (and been nominated for six others). A few really good movies with her 'Six Degrees of Separation' (a role she created on stage and was nominated for a Tony, then nominated for an Oscar), To Wong Foo.., and Up Close and Personal. Dianne Wiest (Aunt Jet) is a two-time Oscar-winning actress for Best Supporting Actress for the Woody Allen films Hannah and Her Sisters and Bullets Over Broadway. She was also in Footloose (1984 version), Edward Scissorhands, The Lost Boys, and The Birdcage (this one is a must-see!). Sally's daughter, Kylie is played by Evan Rachel Wood, who nowadays is best known for her roles in the HBO series Westworld (Dolores Abernathy) and True Blood (Sophie-Anne LeClerq, the Vampire Queen of Louisiana). One of her most recent roles was playing Madonna in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story opposite Daniel Radcliffe as Weird Al. One of my favorite movies she did was the musical Across the Universe, a visually stunning film by Julie Taymor that uses the songs of The Beatles, and Evan played Lucy. She has an incredible singing voice. The film also features cameos by Bono (Doctor Robert), Eddie Izzard (Mr. Kite), and Salma Hayek.
Bullets over Broadway would be a great movie for both sisters to react to. Great fun and great performances from Dianne Wiest, John Cusack and Chaz Palminteri
Just a fun fact: the town this was filmed in was Coupeville on Whibey Island, Washington. the town has not changed and still looks the same as it is in the movie. My brother lives there and I have walked and down the main street and been it the shops there. Just thought i would share a little fun Fact about the movie.
Used to vacation in the San Juan Islands every summer with the family. Orcas Island mostly. Love that area. Always felt like a perfect filming location.
can't believe you both missed the magic mug stirring at 10:53... I can understand their pain...the star was made of silver too. This is such a wonderful film. very sad at times but also very happy. i love it.
Gillie's showed pretty good magic as well. Not too many people notice it, but she practically drove from LA to the East Coast in what seemed like days but really was overnight. She and Sally reunited for a night after Sally's husband had passed, while Angelo was asleep from the belladonna in the tequila.
One of my favorite Halloween movies! Its actually based off a book by Alice Hoffman, and she has a whole series now. Magic Lessons is the first one, which focuses on Maria's story (their ancestor), The Rules of Magic is the aunties' story (and its heartbreaking), then Practical Magic, then the new one is The Book of Magic which is the next generation. (I haven't read that one yet).
I'm so glad there was still at least one more Sandra Bullock movie you guys hadn't seen so we could get this incredible reaction! that scene with Sally and Jillian joining their hands again in the circle still gives me chills to this day; it's so powerful. a perfect movie for spooky season or anytime of the year. thanks ladies! ❤ p.s. the dark-haired Aunt was Stockard Channing aka Rizzo from Grease 😃
Thank you for this wonderful reaction. You`re the perfect pair for this movie reaction. On top of it all, it is one of my daughter's favorite movies. Every now and then, my sister, my daughter, and I get together and watch "Practical Magic". We are Sandra Bullock fans. She`s our darling :))) The cast is absolutely fabulous. Magical greetings from Slovenia.
NO.... that was an EXCELLENT soundtrack. As a DJ, I played most of it in clubs when this movie was popular, especially at Halloween parties. Just as this was an excellent reaction. Well Done ladies.
The kiss between Sally and Michael in the beginning of the movie was their first kiss. The aunts put a spell on them to fall for each other, thats why she ran to him when the bell rang.
Great reaction ladies, knew you'd love it ^_^ Yes, you are right Aidan Quinn was in Legends of the Fall (he played Alfred). This is a great sisterly love movie, there are too few! Aidan Quinn was in another movie with sibling love called Benny and Joon (1993); would like to see your reaction to that!!!
Check out Stockard Channing in the movie: WHERE THE HEART IS with Natalie Portman Based on a true story of a young pregnant woman who’s boyfriend abandoned her in a Walmart and she lived in Walmart for a while.. Stockard plays a quirky character who takes her and her baby in. Love this movie!!
This movie holds a dear place in my heart. I knew you two would love it. I highly recommend the occasional and spontaneous tradition of Midnight Margaritas. We often accompany our midnight margaritas with selected songs from the soundtrack.
CASSIE would love these movies starring Nicole Kidman: *COLD MOUNTAIN* (2003), THE HUMAN STAIN (2003), THE STEPFORD WIVES (2004) and *EYES WIDE SHUT* (1999) opposite Tom Cruise. 😃
@@farmerbill6855 I disagree. It's a masterpiece but I'm biased because I'm a Kubrick fan. I would say it's not even his worst movie and even his worst movie is just mid and not even straight up bad.
I just watched this with a new friend over FaceTime and it was such a lovely experience. We had both seen it before so we could talk while we watched. I lowkey felt just like you two 💗
I swear some movies that are just underrated and not technically well-known or just Have a great occasional pick me up vibe❤ I mean like there’s these movies that you watch and you can’t believe you’ve never seen, but you really enjoy them and want other people to watch them… I feel like that’s the purpose of a lot of movies that go under the radar for so long
My daughters had just finished reading the book several weeks ago and were excited for the film. They spent most of the time asking questions and pointing out difference and didn't make it to end. If you want to enjoy a film, don't ever read the book.
2:53 see… that narration sounds like it’s being done by Katey Segal(Peggy Bundy-Married With Children, Gemma Teller- Sons of Anarchy)…but in fact, it’s is done by Stockard Channing(who’s in the film… also Abby Bartlett, The West Wing!!!)❤❤❤
Deathwatch beetle. From Wikipedia: """ To attract mates, the adult insects create a tapping or ticking sound that can sometimes be heard in the rafters of old buildings on summer nights; therefore, the deathwatch beetle is associated with quiet, sleepless nights and is named for the vigil (watch) being kept beside the dying or dead. By extension, there exists a superstition that these sounds are an omen of impending death. """ It's a wood boring beetle that unnerves people lying awake at night. :)
Hi Cassie. Have you seen Ridley Scott's KINGDOM OF HEAVEN (Director's Cut)? It's such a criminally underrated medieval epic with themes on religion vs. morality. It stars Orlando Bloom (Legolas) & Eva Green (Vesper) and also has a nice love story/romance which I know you'll both love. Best wishes from Nigeria x
Awwww.... the whole time I was waiting for your reaction to the girls seeing their mom, Sandra Bullock, blow on the candle to ignite it. Great cast, including both sets of young girls. And, yes, that house looks amazing both inside and out. Along with the apartment in "Green Card", it is one of the great film houses I like. Don't know why you never saw it before as it has always played on tv / cable in October since first released.
If you haven’t already seen it another great Sandra Bullock movie is one called “While You Were Sleeping “. Sandra Bullock and Bill Pulman were a classic couple.
Only you two could make Practical Magic seem like the scariest horror movie ever.
Haha facts
Exactly what I was thinking, perfect for these two.
The scariest movie ever is called family court system!!!!!
This is a very silly movie with just a little bit of drama. How in the world can anyone ever get scared by this movie?😂
women can.@@jasonregister3494
I met the love of my life during this film. She passed away this film means the world that you're covering it. We were watching this in class back in highschool when I was 16 and she was 15. This film will always have a special place in my heart. ♥️
Practical Magic is 25 years ago and I still remember the first time I saw it. It's become a feel-good comfort movie. The sound track is part of that, but it checks a lot of boxes.
What are your other feel good comfort movies?
Stockard Channing also starred in "The West Wing," and "Grease," She won't two Emmys for the West Wing" and "The Matthew Shepherd Story" as won SAG awards. She won a different award for her role in " Practical Magic." Dianne Wiest won 2 Oscar's for "Bullets Over Broadway " and "Hannah and Her Sisters." She also starred in "Birdcage" and "Lost Boys."
Where The Heart Is is a Stockard Channing Cassie has have to have seen, it’s a total love story
Edward Scissorhands, The Horse Whisperer. Diianne Wiest
They actually had a witch consulting on set. (She also disagreed about the bird killing, but they still went with it.)
This is my wife (of 60 years) Sharon's favorite Halloween movie. We watched it together with you two, which brought us such joy.
We were so happy that you liked it. Thank you for the smiles and laughter you bring into our lives and all the little ups and downs,
Tears and Happiness that make elderly homebound life worth living.
That’s so sweet 💜
"Midnight Margaritas!"
This thing about Practical Magic maybe not being a Halloween movie... I mean it's about two sisters who are witches, which are a big part of Halloween. Also, listen... if Die Hard can be a Christmas movie because it takes place on Christmas Eve, then Practical Magic can definitely be Halloween movie!
Also, this movie is such a gem. It has comedy, romance, supernatural and such chemistry between the actresses. It’s beautiful and the soundtrack is also fire. Sandra Bullock is so vulnerable and enchanting in this movie!
This is definitely a Halloween movie romance scary horror but die hard is not a Christmas movie I refuse to believe that
Something I didn’t catch onto with this movie until many years later is that it wasn’t just the sisters who broke the curse. It was all the woman of the town coming together to accept them. Maria was outcast by the town and got her heart broken so the town accepting them broke the curse instead. So beautiful!
Amazing spellbinding reaction. 👍🏼 The jump on his arms kiss combo is a direct result of the aunts casting a spell on Sally because they felt her misery. What they didnt intend was that what was supposed to be a harmless fling would grow to a strong love that triggered the Owen's curse. Hope this clarifies. 😊
I have an enduring soft spot for this movie.
"I wished for you, too."
Oof. Love that line.
Loved the synchronized “Oh, my gosh!” It’s always a blast watching you two ladies reacting.
Practical Magic is the ultimate sister flick, and was a personal favorite of my late mom's. I still watch it once a year in memory of her.
I soo enjoy watching your reactions to romantic movies. Puts a big smile on my face. Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are perfect as the aunts.
Those two are also perfect examples of why you don't get plastic surgery.
Dianne Weist who played the other Aunt was previously in The Bird Cage as (Senator Keeley) Gene Hackman's wife. She has also been in The Lost Boys with very short hair.
And she was the Avon Lady in EDWARD SCISSORHANDS.
The cop is played by Aidan Quinn, who is, in my opinion, one of the greatest underrated actors out there. His first role was a film called "Reckless"...a great film. Based on his acting in that film, you'd never guess it was his first. It's unfortunate he wasn't in more.
He was also the Older brother in "Legends of the Fall"......
I first saw him in Benny & Joon, one of my favorite Johnny Depp films, a very underrated performance. Aidan's performance was also very good in it. I highly suggest she watch it for the channel.
I named my son after this actor. I loved him so much in so many movies from the 80’s and 90’s. ❤
I liked him in "Michael Collins" (bio drama with Liam Neeson and Alan Rickman).
He plays Captain Gregson in Elementary. He's great in that show.
Alice Hoffman wrote the book, Practical Magic. In the last 5 years she has written two prequels and one sequel to this story. So, maybe more movies in the future. I would not be opposed to a series.
You might, also, recall, Diane Wiest as the reverends' wife from Footloose.,, Sally's husband, Michael [Mark Feuerstein] had his own tv series, Royal Pains, which lasted for 7 seasons, and Kylie Owens was played by Evan Rachel Wood, the star of Westworld [2016-2022].
I am SO glad you watched this, I knew you’d love it!!! My sister and I just had our annual Halloween viewing last weekend- and yes, we cry every time at the end 😅
This movie is an excellent sisters movie! My sister and I watch it together too.
This and Hocus Pocus were my go-to Halloween movies growing up.
Ah-muck, ah-muck, Ah-muck (ooww).
Sorry, just slipped out. 🧙♀️
I feel like we are all sisters watching this and bonding without even knowing each other in person 🌱 all girls have a little witch inside them.
I love this movie because Sandra Bullock, Diane Wiest (you may remember her from The Lost Boys as the mother), Stockard Channing, Goran Visnjic, and Stevie Nicks singing Crystal as well as the variations on the song used in the movie and other music in this. Still have the soundtrack cd I bought after seeing it.
So you dont like Nicole Kidman....?
Diane Weist was great in "Parenthood "❤😊
@@juliewhite7469 love her.
@@SweeranSwift not a big fan, no.
Activating the phone tree is my second faborite part. "I wished for you too" is the best.
I can't believe Jimmy Fallon ignored Nicole Kidman when she was interested in him. She even said "he wasn't interested." He must have been out of his mind.
He didn't ignore her. He was oblivious she was interested lol
Jimmy always seemed gay to me. No slur I think he is a closeted Hollywood gay man. Like Travolta.
I go watch that interview every once in a while to laugh cuz you can see right where he realizes that she liked him and he wasn't getting it 😂

One of my wife’s favorites. Recently visited the town in WA where it was shot. Really nice place to grab lunch and visit.
Fun one, Ladies! There are a few books (2 or 3?) that this is based on. Good reads if you are readers. 🙂
This is my "hide in" movie when everything is falling apart... Nicole Kidman is so amazing in it. And as you said... that SOUNDTRACK!
Did you also know that one of Sandra Bullock's earliest roles was in the spin off movie Bionic Showdown, the second of the Six Million Dollar Man movies where she was cast as the new Bionic Woman.
I'm so happy that you reacted to this together! It's one of my top 5 movies of all time, and I watch it (at least) every Halloween. Thank you for sharing your joy with us.
Well, now you have to tell us the other movies in your top 5
Yes, Sandra Bullock 😍 she was the reason to watch romcoms back then ....
AIDEN QUINN is the actor that played the male lead that was also in Legends of the Fall. He, Johnny Depp, and Mary Stuart Masterson are great in the quirky early 90's cult classic BENNY & JOON. A truly underrated movie, and a young Johnny Depp in a great role.
He's great, he came to my knowledge as the captain in Elementary
Benny and Joon!! Yes yes yes
I first noticed Aiden in the original film version of the Handmaid’s Tale
And don't forget Desperately Seeking Susan.
I also loved him in Blink(1993).
Nowadays a sadly forgotten 90s thriller, starring the beautiful Madeleine Stowe and a sexy Aidan. It has great suspense and awesome fiddle music.
Director Griffin Dunne is the 'friend killed' in AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. He's also the star of one of the most fun but strangest films, AFTER HOURS.
BELL, BOOK & CANDLE should be next... it would make a grand film-festival twosome.
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman should’ve done more movies together…
Also Nicole Kidman and Renée Zellweger in *COLD MOUNTAIN* (2003).
absolutely! they have amazing chemistry
THEY ARE MAGICAL TOGETHER...@@youyeedyourlasthaw
After this, it was difficult to afford both of them.
Yes they are a perfect enchanting yin yang in this. Maybe they'll reunite some day.
My old age fashion goals are very much Stockard Channing and Dianne Weist in this movie.
This is my favorite movie ! I get soooo emotional watching and even talking about it 🖤
10:17 yes that was their first kiss/encounter . Her aunties cast a love spell on them
"Love Potion #9" - for classic Sandra Bullock romantic fantasy.
I think Nicole Kidman's character has shown a change of demeanor already - to a more responsible person.
At (22:15), when she hears her red-haired niece say the same words that she as a kid (4:10) said - "I can't wait to fall in love!", she warns her: _"if you're not careful, if you don't keep your eyes on something still, you can lose your balance. You can't see that you're about to fall."_

Stockard Channing (Aunt Frannie was in Grease and a very brief role in First Wives Club (a great one if you haven’t seen it) and Dianne Wiest was also the kind mom from Edward Scissorhands who took him in.
Did she recognize her from Parenthood?
The women who raised them were Aunt Jet (Diane Weist) and Aunt Franny (Stockard Channing). Stockard Channing has been in a ton of things, including Rizzo from Grease, and First Lady Abbey Bartlett in The West Wing.
Diane was the mom in The Lost Boys, one of Steve Martin's sisters in Parenthood (Oscar Nom), the mom in Footloose, the mom is Edward Scissorhands. and a lot more.
You may know the director Griffin Dunne from his acting roles. He was the titke character in An American Werewolf in London, and the teacher the main young girl has a crush on in My Girl.
The cop is Aiden Quinn who was in Legends of the Fall with Brad Pitt.
Jack the dead husband was the film debut of Mark Feuerstein who I know as the lead of Royal Pains. You might kniw him from What Wimen Want.
One small correction: Griffin Dunne was the dead friend of the title character in American Werewolf.

It's a great film, Cassie and Carly. 'The Witches of Eastwick' is another film which you might like girls.
Yep Witches of Eastwick is the perfect sister movie to watch alongside this and Hocus Pocus
Have another cherry.
Yes! Not quite as heartwarming as this one, but so much fun and all about sisterhood. I still think about it every time I eat cherries 😂
My high school English teacher was an extra in that movie. He used to do quite a bit of work as an extra back then.
@@vanyadolly😂 I have the same feeling whenever I watch another of Jack Nicholson's movies: "Something's Gotta Give" with Diane Keaton. She dumps a bowl of cherries into a colander in the sink. Eventhough the movies are years apart I always think "too soon !" ,lol. 😂❤😂
I love this movie so much! I'm so glad you guys liked it too.
I've liked this movie for a long time (honestly, not really up my alley, but it is really entertaining). But the moment I saw it on this channel, I just knew they'd devour it!
One of my late Mom's favourites
Glad you liked this s one. And yes, I believe that was Katy Seagal narrating. She was also.in Married...With Children and Sons of Anarchy
Mark Feuerstein who played Michael (Sally’s first husband) was also Toni Collette’s love interest in In Her Shoes, which you absolutely need to see if you’ve never seen it. It’s also a sister story, this time with Cameron Diaz!
During the Midnight Margaritas scene, they were actually drunk and drinking. Not as much as they were pretending to be, but there was real alcohol going down. 😂
As others have mentioned, this movie has a great cast. But I haven't seen anyone mention Evan Rachel Wood, who played Kylie, the daughter who first sees the spirit of Jimmy. Wood played a central character in the TV series, 'WestWorld'. And also starred in the 2003 movie, 'Thirteen'.
Stockard Channing (Aunt Francis), besides Grease, is well known for her role on 'The West Wing' as First Lady Dr. Abigail Bartlet for which she won an Emmy, and she is an accomplished stage actress having won a Tony (and been nominated for six others). A few really good movies with her 'Six Degrees of Separation' (a role she created on stage and was nominated for a Tony, then nominated for an Oscar), To Wong Foo.., and Up Close and Personal.
Dianne Wiest (Aunt Jet) is a two-time Oscar-winning actress for Best Supporting Actress for the Woody Allen films Hannah and Her Sisters and Bullets Over Broadway. She was also in Footloose (1984 version), Edward Scissorhands, The Lost Boys, and The Birdcage (this one is a must-see!).
Sally's daughter, Kylie is played by Evan Rachel Wood, who nowadays is best known for her roles in the HBO series Westworld (Dolores Abernathy) and True Blood (Sophie-Anne LeClerq, the Vampire Queen of Louisiana). One of her most recent roles was playing Madonna in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story opposite Daniel Radcliffe as Weird Al. One of my favorite movies she did was the musical Across the Universe, a visually stunning film by Julie Taymor that uses the songs of The Beatles, and Evan played Lucy. She has an incredible singing voice. The film also features cameos by Bono (Doctor Robert), Eddie Izzard (Mr. Kite), and Salma Hayek.
Bullets over Broadway would be a great movie for both sisters to react to. Great fun and great performances from Dianne Wiest, John Cusack and Chaz Palminteri
Loved Channing on the West Wing
To Wong Foo!! A definite favorite in my family!
Yes. I know they will love it. Check out "Gravity" for Sandra Bullock's best, heroic character and acting.
Just a fun fact: the town this was filmed in was Coupeville on Whibey Island, Washington. the town has not changed and still looks the same as it is in the movie. My brother lives there and I have walked and down the main street and been it the shops there. Just thought i would share a little fun Fact about the movie.
Used to vacation in the San Juan Islands every summer with the family. Orcas Island mostly. Love that area. Always felt like a perfect filming location.
"She" is from, among many many other things, "The West Wing" were she plays Dr. Bartlet, the President's wife.
This movie was directed by Griffin Dunne, who played Jack (the best friend who gets attacked and killed first) in An American Werewolf in London.
"Witches of Eastwick" is the film that began the whole girlfriend witch thing, Charmed, etc..
You should watch it.
can't believe you both missed the magic mug stirring at 10:53... I can understand their pain...the star was made of silver too. This is such a wonderful film. very sad at times but also very happy. i love it.
Nicole possessed is some of her best work. The facial acting is perfect.
Gillie's showed pretty good magic as well. Not too many people notice it, but she practically drove from LA to the East Coast in what seemed like days but really was overnight. She and Sally reunited for a night after Sally's husband had passed, while Angelo was asleep from the belladonna in the tequila.
One of my favorite Halloween movies! Its actually based off a book by Alice Hoffman, and she has a whole series now. Magic Lessons is the first one, which focuses on Maria's story (their ancestor), The Rules of Magic is the aunties' story (and its heartbreaking), then Practical Magic, then the new one is The Book of Magic which is the next generation. (I haven't read that one yet).
I can’t stand Sandra crying 😭 she makes you FEEL it so much. I love this movie and watch it every fall 🍁
I love this movie sooo much! So fun, some spooky/scary stuff but not too bad, romance, comedy, incredible cast...perfect movie.
I'm so glad there was still at least one more Sandra Bullock movie you guys hadn't seen so we could get this incredible reaction! that scene with Sally and Jillian joining their hands again in the circle still gives me chills to this day; it's so powerful. a perfect movie for spooky season or anytime of the year. thanks ladies! ❤
p.s. the dark-haired Aunt was Stockard Channing aka Rizzo from Grease 😃
Though I always think of her as First Lady Abigail Bartlett from The West Wing
@@TMThesaurusSame!
@@mollylea2643 And the dead husband from the beginning of the movie plays Cliff Calley, the Republican lawyer
@@TMThesaurus YES! but she will always be Rizzo to me 😎
The red-haired aunt was Dianne Wiest; she's won two Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress - The Purple Rose of Cairo and Hannah and her sisters.
Thank you for this wonderful reaction.
You`re the perfect pair for this movie reaction.
On top of it all, it is one of my daughter's favorite movies.
Every now and then, my sister, my daughter, and I get together and watch "Practical Magic".
We are Sandra Bullock fans. She`s our darling :)))
The cast is absolutely fabulous.
Magical greetings from Slovenia.
NO.... that was an EXCELLENT soundtrack. As a DJ, I played most of it in clubs when this movie was popular, especially at Halloween parties. Just as this was an excellent reaction. Well Done ladies.
The kiss between Sally and Michael in the beginning of the movie was their first kiss. The aunts put a spell on them to fall for each other, thats why she ran to him when the bell rang.
Great reaction ladies, knew you'd love it ^_^ Yes, you are right Aidan Quinn was in Legends of the Fall (he played Alfred). This is a great sisterly love movie, there are too few! Aidan Quinn was in another movie with sibling love called Benny and Joon (1993); would like to see your reaction to that!!!
Check out Stockard Channing in the movie:
WHERE THE HEART IS
with Natalie Portman
Based on a true story of a young pregnant woman who’s boyfriend abandoned her in a Walmart and she lived in Walmart for a while..
Stockard plays a quirky character who takes her and her baby in.
Love this movie!!
Not based on a true story, based on a book. Great movie though!!
This movie holds a dear place in my heart. I knew you two would love it. I highly recommend the occasional and spontaneous tradition of Midnight Margaritas. We often accompany our midnight margaritas with selected songs from the soundtrack.
The 3 brothers in Legends of the Fall.......Tristen, Alfred, and Samuel Ludlow. Great Pick - Love this movie (Practical Magic), and Soundtrack.
CASSIE would love these movies starring Nicole Kidman: *COLD MOUNTAIN* (2003), THE HUMAN STAIN (2003), THE STEPFORD WIVES (2004)
and *EYES WIDE SHUT* (1999) opposite Tom Cruise. 😃
Cold Mountain is one of my favorite period dramas. Cassie would love it.
Eyes wide shut is easily the worst film I have ever seen. Man, is it awful.
@@farmerbill6855 I disagree. It's a masterpiece but I'm biased because I'm a Kubrick fan. I would say it's not even his worst movie and even his worst movie is just mid and not even straight up bad.
@@Stone_Horse Well, to our own too because I love that movie.
I just watched this with a new friend over FaceTime and it was such a lovely experience. We had both seen it before so we could talk while we watched. I lowkey felt just like you two 💗
I loved this film! I just found out from a friend one of the actresses who plays the aunts was the short dark haired girl in the film " Grease"
I swear some movies that are just underrated and not technically well-known or just Have a great occasional pick me up vibe❤ I mean like there’s these movies that you watch and you can’t believe you’ve never seen, but you really enjoy them and want other people to watch them… I feel like that’s the purpose of a lot of movies that go under the radar for so long
This is one of my favourite movies ever. I watch it whenever I need a pick me up, it’s just so great. I can’t believe neither of you had seen it!
I was so hoping you two would react this one! I consider it a must watch every Halloween!
The young redhead daughter is Rachel Evenwood from "Across the Universe " and the HBO serie West World.
My daughters had just finished reading the book several weeks ago and were excited for the film. They spent most of the time asking questions and pointing out difference and didn't make it to end. If you want to enjoy a film, don't ever read the book.
Not Halloween related but if you’re looking to watch a classic.. You two should react to “Before Sunrise”.
10 out 10
Yes! The trilogy is an amazing romance movie
omg id LOVE for them to watch Before Sunrise Trilogy so much.
This is required watching EVERY Halloween at my house.
I watch this every Halloween too.
2:53 see… that narration sounds like it’s being done by Katey Segal(Peggy Bundy-Married With Children, Gemma Teller- Sons of Anarchy)…but in fact, it’s is done by Stockard Channing(who’s in the film… also Abby Bartlett, The West Wing!!!)❤❤❤
Adores watching you both fall in love with this movie - welcome to the magic✨it's a Halloween must every year!!
Perfect casting as sisters putting these 2 together in a movie, another classic from era of great movies.
Deathwatch beetle. From Wikipedia:
"""
To attract mates, the adult insects create a tapping or ticking sound that can sometimes be heard in the rafters of old buildings on summer nights; therefore, the deathwatch beetle is associated with quiet, sleepless nights and is named for the vigil (watch) being kept beside the dying or dead. By extension, there exists a superstition that these sounds are an omen of impending death.
"""
It's a wood boring beetle that unnerves people lying awake at night. :)
Hi Cassie. Have you seen Ridley Scott's KINGDOM OF HEAVEN (Director's Cut)? It's such a criminally underrated medieval epic with themes on religion vs. morality. It stars Orlando Bloom (Legolas) & Eva Green (Vesper) and also has a nice love story/romance which I know you'll both love. Best wishes from Nigeria x
Alan Silvestri really out did himself with this soundtrack.
Awwww.... the whole time I was waiting for your reaction to the girls seeing their mom, Sandra Bullock, blow on the candle to ignite it. Great cast, including both sets of young girls. And, yes, that house looks amazing both inside and out. Along with the apartment in "Green Card", it is one of the great film houses I like. Don't know why you never saw it before as it has always played on tv / cable in October since first released.
GREEN CARD opens up a whole new set of favorite actors - Andie MacDowell and Gerard Depardieu.
I think y’all would like The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. It has a really cute love story with a thriller kind of plot
That movie is amazing I kinda want more of that world and story idea
Great love story. Sleeper film. Buried treasure of a movie. Good suggestion!
I’m so excited for this movie reaction!! Practical Magic is still one of my favorite movies!! The Aunts and Sandra and Nicole are so great together
Not sure if I missed you saying it, but if you didn't recognize him...the cop was Tristan and Samuel's brother in Legend of the Fall.
This movie is based off the book (Practical Magic) and Gillian fell for Kylie’s math teacher. 😆 I thought you’d like to know that
Thank you for reviewing this I had forgotten this one, movies that are similar are "Warm Bodies" and "Once Bitten"
Once Bitten never gets any love! Such a goofy movie and one of Jim Carrey's earliest! Still love the dance off scene!
I was pleasantly surprised with Warm Bodies😊
@@emilysmith259 I know it's one of those I have to watch each October
If you haven’t already seen it another great Sandra Bullock movie is one called “While You Were Sleeping “. Sandra Bullock and Bill Pulman were a classic couple.
I'd be shocked if they haven't seen it -- but it should definitely go on the list if, by some odd twist of fate, they really haven't.
I think she did a reaction to this in the last year.
Went to watch this movie in the theater when it was released in 1998... I was 30 years old. Enjoyed the movie quite a bit!
