I know i'm personally so glad they made a Buffy one and Hocus Pocus.

I wish I could find (And anybody feel free to send me a link if they know of one!!!)

-I dream of Jeannie Tarot Deck

-Teen Witch Tarot Deck (Am I the only one who loved that movie?)

-Bewitched Tarot Deck

-Charmed Tarot Deck

-Angel (Since they did Buffy)

-Sabrina the teenage witch

-Sailor Moon tarot deck (How does this not exist!?!?!)

The one featured in Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows (2011) could be fun or a disaster. The trumps are obviously copies of the trumps drawn by Oswald Wirth in 1889.

 

The one featured in Tales of the Unexpected (1979-1988) is called 1JJSwiss Tarot.

 

It could have been amusing if a Charles Williams deck had been involved in Lewis Series 9 Episode 32, but there wasn't one.

I would definitely snap up Bewitched and Sabrina!  

 

My son is the Buffy fan, and my friend the Hocus Pocus fan, so I can pass on those.

I'm happy to have my Good Omens and Ghostbusters Tarots! 

Oh, and the Star Trek Tarot by Telekiad is amazing!  But pass on the Next Generation one from Insight Editions (same publisher as Good Omens and Ghostbusters).  It's lazy and terrible.

 

There is a Sherlock Holmes Tarot by John Matthews (based on the stories), but it also seems lazy to me.  With 56 short stories and 4 novels to choose from, it still has made up scenes.  And the art is, um, interesting.  Does anyone want to give it another try?  How about based on Sherlock?

 

Ok, I want a deck based on The Three Musketeers steampunk 2011 movie (the elemental attributions are pretty obvious) or the BBC The Musketeers tv show.  (Not the novel.  It's too misogynistic for me.)

In one edition of The Greater Trumps there was an introduction (or an afterword) talking all about Williams' use of the Tarot and I believe it mentioned which deck he used as the inspiration. Unfortunately that wasn't included in the trade-paper editions which were available and which I have; I read the essay in a library hardbound. Someone at a science fiction convention did have access to that essay and gave me a copy, but I have no idea where it is now. But in the novel Williams did use Clubs/Wands as Air; a character used them along with Cups to create a blizzard.

The Sailor Moon decks are nice, but they don't look like reading decks to me. It's mostly just the characters posing and being pretty.
A Tarot based on Pre Code movies would be amazing. Cagney's final scene in The Public Enemy would be a great Death card. People do things in these old movies. Organized crime, love, prostitution - you can find all the shady stuff. And there's non-shady stuff too, they work, get married, raise kids, all of that. Three On A Match has enough happening to make a deck. A Thin Man deck would be fun. The glamour is definitely present in these movies, but it's easy to find scenes of people doing things other than posing.
