Fall movies are a vibe: sweaters, hot drinks, libraries. But they also tend to cover pretty standard subject matter: back-to-school and Halloween creatures. Often at the same time! Let’s face it, the only thing that makes the return of homework and tests bearable is the fact that we’re also getting Spooky Season, a chance to wrap ourselves in scarves and plan our costumes (and sip pumpkin spice latte and binge Gilmore Girls.)
If you need inspiration on any of those fronts, or just background noise while you study for the GRE, we’ve got you covered, from horror classics to coming-of-age favorites to movies that just give us that autumnal tingle, these are the cozy fall movies we stream year after year, and how to watch them right now.
