As the weather is changing and the holidays are right around the corner, some of us just aren’t ready to say goodbye to the moody, comforting feeling of Fall. This time of year can be extremely hectic and stressful; sometimes it’s nice to cozy up and escape to another world for a little while. Below is a list of TV shows and movies that will give you that nostalgic longing for the Fall season.
“Gilmore Girls”
Starting strong, it always seems to be Autumn in the town of Stars Hollow. The main characters, Lorelai, and her daughter Rory, are almost always seen wearing cozy sweaters and sipping on some sort of coffee. The drama, plot twists, and romance will have you hooked, making “Gilmore Girls” a perfect show to watch, or revisit, this Fall season. You can stream it on Netflix!
“Supernatural”
For the ones who live every day like it’s Halloween, “Supernatural” is the perfect show for you. Two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, hunt monsters and fight evil while learning the importance of family. This show incorporates horror with comedy, romance, and even real-life issues that hit even harder considering the mass of occult and otherworldly topics. You can stream it on Netflix & Hulu!
“Gossip Girl”
A classic drama series based in the Upper East Side, “Gossip Girl” is filled with heavy Fall nostalgia. Following the life of Serena Van der Woodsen and her popular clique, the high school drama mixed with the busy New York City lifestyle is bound to have you locked in this season. And let’s not forget the yearly Thanksgiving episodes, which remind viewers of the not-so-good moments that can come out of the holidays. You can stream it on MAX!
“The Vampire Diaries”
The town of Mystic Falls, Virginia is the epitome of Fall, and not only because of the hot vampire population. Elena Gilbert's life turns upside down when the Salvatore brothers return to town. This show is immediately thought of once the weather hits below 70 degrees, and the vibes of it are unmatched. The “Elena Gilbert'' core aesthetic has taken over fall fashion Pinterest boards and the eerie visuals and romance of the show will have anyone hooked. You can stream it on MAX and Peacock!
“New Girl”
For all of the sitcom lovers out there, what are you doing if you haven’t watched “New Girl” multiple times already? The main character, Jessica Day, moves into an apartment with three single guys after a rough breakup, and the rest is history. This show is hilarious, and the yearly Thanksgiving episodes are perfect. The characters are extremely relatable and the relationship developments throughout the show bring such a comforting and heartwarming feeling to viewers. This comedy is a must-watch, and you can stream it on MAX and Peacock!
“Twilight”
To start the list of movies, the Twilight Saga should be on your binge-watch list this season. Some may think these movies are cringe, but they are more on the camp side. The visuals, gloomy weather, and the supernatural high school romance are too good to pass up this season. Also, let’s not forget how the soundtracks of these movies are unmatched. All “Twilight” movies are available to binge on Amazon Prime Video, Youtube, & Tubi!
“Stuck in Love”
One of my personal favorites to rewatch for Fall, “Stuck in Love” is an underrated drama/romance that focuses on a writer, his ex-wife, and their two teenagers as they go through new experiences, learn about themselves, and develop relationships along the way. The timeline follows the characters through a year of their lives, starting and ending with Thanksgiving dinner. This watch is more emotional, and if you’re stuck picking where to start on this list, then this film is a great choice! You can stream it for free on YouTube, Peacock, Tubi, and more!
“Interview With the Vampire”
Based on the classic gothic novel of the same name by Anne Rice, this film is one to visit before the month ends. The vampire Lestat de Lioncourt hunts down Louis de Pointe du Lac to be his companion in immortality. It begins in 1791 in New Orleans and follows Louis' transformation and relationship with Lestat. Who doesn’t love a gay vampire love story? Especially one with a lot of drama. The recent AMC+ television adaptation of the novel is also phenomenal, both are a must-watch! You can stream the film on Hulu and the series on AMC+.
“The Devil Wears Prada”
This film follows Andy, a college graduate, who has big dreams and ambitions to make it in the city. Lucky for her she lands a job as an assistant to the editor of one of the best fashion magazines in the city, despite not knowing much about fashion itself. But, her luck doesn’t last long when she meets her diabolical boss Miranda Priestly. If you have not watched this movie, you better get to it! Andy and Miranda’s development as characters and friends is to die for, and the busy but glamorous New York City setting is a plus. You can stream it on Hulu!
“The Craft”
For my witch lovers, this film is a 90’s classic. It screams “whimsigoth” Fall with the scenery and visuals. Sarah finds that her unique gifts have a purpose when three girls at school in her new town approach her to be the fourth witch to complete their coven. Magic can get out of control if misused, and the consequences are shown throughout this film. It’s more spooky and has that specific Autumn feeling to it. The characters, aesthetics, and fashion design choices are amazing as well. You can check out this film on Hulu!
