It’s officially the season of cozy sweaters, PSL, and beautiful foliage. That’s right, it’s a new season of autumn and all of the beauty and traditions that come with it. To pair with it and your PSL latte, let’s have a little look at some of the perfect fall movies to enjoy. Or at least to offer some you might enjoy.
LIST | FIVE REASONS WHY I DO (& DON’T) LIKE ‘MISS SCARLET & THE DUKE’
After some movie research and just some of my own personal choices, let’s take a closer look at some of the ideal movies to enjoy during this fall season. Let’s take look and talk about any of the titles you may enjoy.
Notes: I’m going to exclude Hallmark films from this list because I curate separate lists for them all the time. You can see my “rankings” of their ‘Fall Harvest’ titles from years past here. Also some films excluded include titles that I have on my list of “Non-Spooky” movies (2019) or if you’re looking for movies that aren’t on this list, you can find our 2020 list which is still relevant.
PERFECT FALL MOVIES TO ENJOY
1: ANNE OF AVONLEA

This is a pretty obvious choice, but I couldn’t not include this 80s classic because it’s Anne of Green Gables and there is some beautiful autumn scenery. However, there’s additionally beautiful spring and winter scenes, too.
2: GAME PLAN
Dwayne Johnson plays a football star in this film about a man who learns he’s a dad.
3: HOMETOWN LEGEND
Lacey Chabert co-stars in this film about a football team that tries to bring pride to a hometown. It’s not one I’ve seen yet, but it seems like it’d be one of those inspiring kind of movies. perfect fall movies to enjoy
4: LEGALLY BLONDE
I saw this one get a mention online, and it’s true that while we don’t typically think of Legally Blonde as an “autumn,” but it does feature some pretty stunning scenery.
5: THE LOST HUSBAND

This slower moving drama just seems to have the “vibe” of autumn. Most of the people who I saw watching this at its release didn’t like it, but I’m proudly in the minority.

This emotional drama follows a man with many secrets in his past. Life changes when he meets a mysterious woman in a series of unusual encounters.
9: SCHOOL OF ROCK

I started watching this one a while back and never did finish it. Not surprising since I’m not a viewer who likes R-rated films. But at the heart, this has a good story and features Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller. (R for language, sexual content.)
11: STARS FELL ON ALABAMA

This little indie romantic-comedy is sweet but not uniquely remarkable.
12: TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE
I’ve probably already added this one to a seasonal list (or two), but this original film just feels autumn-y. Plus, the story of Lara Jean Covey is just so sweet. Find streaming on Netflix perfect fall movies to enjoy
13: AN UNFINISHED LIFE

Jennifer Lopez stars in this film, likely one of her lesser known roles, as a woman running from abuse. It’s slow-moving, but it’s also a solid drama story.
14: A WALK IN THE CLOUDS

Cannot remember the season of this one, but the light of the production or just “feel” of it seems autumn-like. Follows a couple who pretends to be married.
15: WORDS ON BATHROOM WALLS

This one is a dramedy that feels like autumn again. It follows a teen boy struggling with voices in his head and the inability to cope without medication that alters him in other ways.
