The fall season is all about bundling up and feeling those cozy autumn vibes, which begs the question: what better way to bundle and feel than to sit on the couch with a blanket and a hot drink? Answer: turning on the perfect movies and shows to complete that fall aura. This list will cover the essential must-watches to take in and embrace that cool, calm spirit this autumn season.
Capturing those fall vibes with snug films and TV is an absolute necessity, so homey movies and shows will no doubt help settle into the cozy spirit–and, in this respect, the miniseries “Over the Garden Wall” makes the top of this season’s watchlist. Films like “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” “St. Elmo’s Fire,” “Dead Poets Society,” and “When Harry Met Sally” come in after for their autumn settings, colors, or general fall aesthetics.
Part of what makes fall so special aside from its comfy vibes is its holidays–namely, Halloween. Calm vibes aren’t the only vibes that complete the fall, and to perfect the thrill of the spooky season, horror movies are vital watches. Great picks are classics like “The Exorcist,” “Psycho,” “The Shining,” and of course, perhaps the most fitting film “Halloween.” For those looking for a commitment in October, a binge-worthy show to top off the theme of monsters is the 15 season series “Supernatural,” filled with ghouls and monsters for a fantastic scare.
Although Halloween is a staple holiday of the fall, Thanksgiving remains just as iconic and deserves to be mentioned. As such, it would be an injustice to leave classic Thanksgiving movies out of this list. Buddy movie “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” along with the heartwarming drama “Scent of a Woman” over pumpkin pie is sure to be the cherry on top to the spirit of Turkey Day.
With the right film and TV for every fall occasion, whether it be Halloween, Thanksgiving, or simply relaxing on a couch with tea, there’s absolutely nothing that can stop this autumn from achieving its full vibe potential. Whenever the craving for that fall aura comes along, curl up, turn on the perfect watchlist, and enjoy the fall to its fullest!
