Re: A scene fondly remembered...

Thanks to this thread, I re-watched THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK (1987) last night, having not seen it in more than a decade. That movie has reached its awkward age, with feminist tropes that sound dated now, but not quite dated enough for nostalgia. Also, the moviemakers didn't bother to make good excuses for their many violations of the traditional laws of thaumaturgy. Still--Jack Nicholson's wonderful as "just your average horny little devil;" Veronica Cartwright chews rug with the best; and there's excellent acting from Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Love the soundtrack, which includes clips from recordings by Horowitz, Perlman and others in addition to John Williams's excellent score. That score startled me--I hadn't remembered it in detail, but when I listened last night, I recognized an enormous amount that Williams has recycled into the HARRY POTTER scores.

Does it bug anyone else to see musical instruments go up in flames, even if the instruments look like cheapos?
