The Witches of Eastwick (1987)

A Hollywood comedy about the devil seems a long way from the outback, but Miller brings the same physical energy to John Updike's story of three bored small-town women and the charming stranger they conjure. Jack Nicholson plays Daryl Van Horne at full volume, and Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer give the witches real wit and warmth. John Williams earned an Oscar nomination for the playful score. Watch it to see Miller handle star actors and broad comedy, and for a finale where he lets the supernatural mayhem go as big as any car wreck.
