Movies like Wish

Aladdin brings to life the enchanting story of a street-smart young man who discovers a magic lamp and a genie that can grant him three wishes. Fans of Wish will find the whimsical tale and the theme of being careful what you wish for quite engaging, along with the colorful fantasy setting and memorable musical numbers.

The Princess Bride is a cult classic that combines elements of fantasy, romance, adventure, and comedy. Much like Wish, it is a film about true love and the adventure one undertakes to achieve it, all wrapped up in a magical world filled with memorable characters and witty dialogue.

Enchanted cleverly blends animation with live-action, following the story of a fairy tale princess who is sent to the real world by an evil queen. The charm of Wish is mirrored here, where whimsical magic meets the pragmatism of reality, resulting in a romantic and humorous tale that both celebrates and satirizes the fairy tale genre.

17 Again takes a spin on the wish-fulfillment fantasy by having its middle-aged protagonist magically transformed back to his 17-year-old self. For those who enjoyed Wish, this movie offers a blend of humor and heart as it explores second chances and the idea that some wishes might just come true.

Pleasantville is a thought-provoking film where the main characters are transported into the black and white world of a 1950s sitcom. Like Wish, it deals with the idea of escaping to a seemingly perfect world, only to realize that perfection is not as straightforward as it seems, and that personal enlightenment often brings profound change.

Ella Enchanted features a protagonist who is under a spell that requires her to obey any command. This film, akin to Wish, delves into the complications that magic and wishes can create in one's life, serving up a story that's both a romantic comedy and a fairy tale adventure.

Bedazzled is a comedy about a man who gets seven wishes from the devil to win over the girl of his dreams, but with each wish comes unforeseen consequences. If the moral of 'be careful what you wish for' resonated with you in Wish, Bedazzled's humorous take on the trope will also hit the mark.
