10 Must-Watch Movies ‘Wicked’ Fans Need to See

As the wonderful world of Wicked closes its final cinematic chapter with Wicked: For Good on November 21, devoted fans of the musical-turned-motion picture starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande might be wondering what to watch next.

The truth is there aren’t too many movies like Wicked — a sweeping, big-budget fantasy musical based on an already existing (and iconic) IP, featuring larger-than-life, grand-scale production, immersive visuals and lore-rich, emotive storytelling alongside a memorable soundtrack. Not to mention, complex messaging about what it means to be good and what it means to be evil, and a “villain” who is anything but.

Sure, there are tons of movie musicals based on hit Broadway shows, and certainly plenty of fantasy films ranging from familiar fairy tales to rom-coms bursting with otherworldly magic. Still, for Wicked fans looking for something big, glossy, emotional and fantastical, with a similar scale as Elphaba and Glinda’s heartfelt story, options are a bit more limited. After all, Wicked is truly something special, and therefore unique in both its storytelling and execution.

That said, as a fellow Wicked fan and someone who loves fantasy (in both its high and casual forms) as well as all manner of charming movie musicals, I’ve compiled a list of 10 other movies Wicked fans will love, if they’re anything like me.
