Maybe 10 years ago, the conversation about ‘Practical Magic’ started to pick up more steam, particularly around Halloween. I’d see memes with ‘midnight margaritas’ and when my friends’ daughters found out I directed that movie, they’d go insane,” he recalls.

This year, the Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman starrer even scored a sequel. “It’s the second movie I’ve been involved with that wasn’t as popular at the time as it became years later.

It was the same deal with ‘An American Werewolf in London.’ It’s lovely to see people appreciate it now, but it would have been sweeter to have it happen then too. I seem to be the king of lapsed love!” Dunne would like people to rediscover “Addicted to Love” and “Lisa Picard Is Famous” next.

“I’m amazed that only a handful of people have ever heard of a movie with Meg Ryan that was incredibly well reviewed at the time. I remember calling Warner Bros.

and they didn’t even have a copy! It’s only going to become more obscure now that Warner Bros.

is going to be owned by Paramount. Who knows what’s going to happen to all these movies?” He adds: “‘Lisa’ came out during 9/11, so of course people didn’t want to see a comedy about out-of-work actors.

But it’s the funniest movie I’ve ever made. I do hope both of them will be looked at again.” Dunne, also known for his role in Martin Scorsese’s “After Hours,” is heading to Poland’s TAURON American Film Festival to receive its biggest honor: the Indie Star Award.

It won’t be his first time in the country. In 1980, he travelled there to make “The Wall,” only to find himself caught up in the historic Solidarity movement.

Three weeks turned into three months. “When martial law was declared, we were stuck there.

I met Rosanna Arquette and Dianne Wiest, whom I cast in ‘Practical Magic,’ and I’ve been life-long friends with Tom Conti ever since. I could tell you a million stories about it.

So many of our crew were arrested that people from the military had to stand in for them, and there were spies everywhere. It was insane, but it led to great friendships!” Dunne is honest: the indie scene has changed dramatically over the years.

However, as he puts it, “when times are good, you never know you’re in the middle of them.” “There was indeed a community of independent filmmakers, even though we didn’t particularly call ourselves that. It wasn’t that difficult to find investors willing to bankroll original stories and ideas.

Now, getting a distributor is very difficult, and even that doesn’t guarantee a significant theater release.” What worries him is that soon, there won’t be any space for controversy.
