The Witches of Eastwick (1987)

Warner Bros.

In George Miller’s adaptation of a John Updike novel of the same name, an unlikely coven of New England witches played by Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon unwittingly open the door to the devil himself — Daryl Van Horne, get it? Horne? — played by Jack Nicholson.

It’s diabolical because like all the most cleverly insidious movies about the devil, it makes him seem so endearing.
