Movies that feel likeBedazzled (1967)

A hapless loser sells his soul to the Devil in exchange for seven wishes, but has trouble winning over the girl of his dreams.

If you loved Bedazzled, the closest films we have are Two for the Road (1967), The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) and The Mermaid (2016). All three share Bedazzled's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Truly Madly Deeply (1991).
