Practical Magic

At the very beginning of Practical Magic, Caprice Benedetti stars as a woman who's been accused of being a witch.

She's the ancestor of present day witches who're played by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.

And at first this looks like the typical sad scene of a witch being hung in the past.

But this witch surprises everybody by deliberately stepping off of the platform.

And the rope on her noose breaks, allowing her to land on her (bare) feet unharmed.

She's barefoot the entire time, and has her hands tied behind her back. But it also winds up being a really sweet scene that upends expectations by allowing a witch to triumph over her accusers. Nice touch.

  1. Hi I’m new to this but some of the older clips seem like they have expired how can I get them now? For instance the “ What we're made up of” from a year ago?

  2. The hosting site that I use only keep them up for a certain amount of time and then they're taken down. It's a free site, so I don't complain. I usually re-post older stuff because of this.
