What makes autumn so cozy? Could it be all the delicious fall desserts that sweeten up the season? Or is it the cute fall sweaters we just love to snuggle up in? The answer to both of these questions is yes—but of course there are so many more things that make the season warm and fuzzy. That includes one of our favorite fall activities ever: watching fall movies. For the perfect autumnal movie night, curl up on the couch with one of these fall-themed movies, a sweet-smelling fall candle, and a cup of mulled apple cider to sip.
You really can't go wrong with any of the options on this list. You'll find some classic romantic movies featuring love stories that are just as magical as the shots of fall foliage they feature. Sports fans who spend most of the season in stadiums will cheer for the selection of football movies listed here, while parents will have no trouble finding a family-friendly pick for the whole crew. And for those of you who are looking for something on the scarier side, fear not, there are plenty of Halloween movies to get you in the spooky spirit just in time for October 31.
