12 Movies to Watch to Get into the Fall Mood
Fall, Fall, glorious Fall! If you’ve been reading this blog or following along on my social media, it won’t take you long to know that I LOVE Fall! It is my favorite season! And, one of my favorite activities during the Fall months is to light a fall-scented candle, make some popcorn, and cozy up on the couch to watch a movie! Over the years I have curated a list of my favorites and thought it would be the perfect time to share it with you! These aren’t Halloween-themed, you can see my favorites in this post, but these give all the cozy Fall vibes you want this time of year!
12 Movies to Watch to Get into the Fall Mood
You’ve Got Mail
THE quintessential Fall movie, if there ever was one! I love this movie, and it’s one of my go-tos this time of year before Halloween! It takes place in New York in the Fall and features Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. It’s the kind of feel-good movie we need this time of year!
Harry Potter
I have been a Harry Potter fan since 7th grade and these movies are still some of my go to’s this time of year…or anytime of year really. It’s magical and such a comfort movie for me!
Little Women
The version of Little Women from 1994 was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I had it on VHS and would watch it over and over again. It takes place over many years and it’s just got that cozy factor! The version from 2019 is just as good too! I highly recommend adding one or both versions to your fall movie list!
October Sky
I first saw this when I was in junior high school science class. It is based on the true story of Homer Hickam who is a former NASA Engineer who got into rocketry after the launch of Sputnik. Such a heartwarming movie and perfect for this time of year!
When Harry Met Sally
This is such a classic. I love the chemistry between Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal and how their friendship and ultimately their love story develops over the years. There are beautiful scenes of them walking among the Fall leaves and the feel of the movie is just warm and welcoming.
Mona Lisa’s Smile
An all-star cast in a cozy setting with all of the Dead Poet’s Society with a feminist twist vibes you could want!
Dead Poet’s Society
I loved Robin Williams in every movie I saw him in. Dead Poet’s Society is one of my favorites. All the nostalgic back-to-school vibes in a heartwarming film. This is one to watch if you’ve never seen it or to watch again if you have!
Mystic Pizza
Set in an idyllic Connecticut town, this movie gives all the Fall seasonal vibes. And what’s not to love about Julia Roberts pre-Steel Magnolias and Pretty Woman?
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
A John Hughes classic starring Steve Martin and John Candy, this is a Thanksgiving classic!
The Breakfast Club
Another from John Hughes (probably my favorite), this movie isn’t outwardly Fall since it takes place mostly inside a school library but it gives the back-to-school vibes you can get this time of year!
The Goonies
Looking for action and adventure complete with bad guys and pirates? Look no further than The Goonies!
Practical Magic
Magic and Midnight Margaritas!
