#6 The Worst Witch



James Bond's wife/Margaery Tyrell's Grandma and Dr. Frank-N-Furter help the chick from The Craft learn how to be a witch.

This made-for-TV movie from the mid 80s is bad in all the right ways to make an 80s kid feel good and nostalgic. The acting is cheesy, the songs half-assed and the special effects harken back to a time when part of the fun of watching movies was using your imagination to fill in some of the more ridiculous shots.

Needless to say, this is one of my and Mandy's favorites. It's a total Harry Potter rip off, except it was made before Harry Potter existed. And Tim Curry's song/dance number as The Grand Wizard is probably the greatest 3 minutes in the history of film. Just sayin'.
