These Fall Movies Will Get You Excited to Curl Up on the Couch in a Cozy Sweater
There's something about fall that's pretty special that no one can deny. Almost like its own type of new year, we leave the relaxed schedule of the summer months for back to school, sports practice, the fall foliage, and a fresh sense of a new start. Not to mention as the constant warm temperatures start getting stale, we can't help but wish the air wasn't a bit more crisp and we could cozy up in our warm fuzzy sweaters with a bowl of our favorite hearty fall soup. Lucky for us, Starbucks has started releasing their famous PSL (pumpkin spice latte) earlier than ever and all our pumpkin goodies at Trader Joes start hitting the shelves in September. And as you'll discover in this glorious list of fall movies, that no matter where you are and what season you happen to be in, you can transport yourself to your favorite season whenever you want.
If you're like me during fall, especially around Halloween, I'm always in the mood to watch a good whodunit, so be sure to check out our recommendations for movies like, Clue, Murder on the Orient Express, and Knives Out. If you love a good back to school story, check out our prep school picks (Dead Poets Society, School Ties, Rushmore, and Mona Lisa Smile) and if you're looking for a fall movie night for the whole family be sure to check out our picks we're sure your kids will love (Coco, The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and Disney's classic Hocus Pocus). Gather your favorite fall treats, curl up with your favorite cozy blanket and enjoy the best season of them all.
