Movies that feel likeTwitches (2005)

Twins separated at birth, Camryn and Alex meet by chance for the first time on their 21st birthday and discover they're witches with the power to save their homeland of Coventry from the evil that threatens it. But when Camryn leaves Alex to face the darkness alone, will Coventry be doomed? Or will the sisters multiply their magic by standing together?

If you loved Twitches, the closest films we have are Hocus Pocus (1993), Addams Family Values (1993) and A Letter to Momo (2012). All three share Twitches' witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Paper Planes (2014).
