To me, fall is the season that brings comfort and a bit of nostalgia. Summer has ended, and we’re no longer in the urge to do something fun at the last minute. It might depend on where you are, but I feel the airs changes from heavy, moist to crisp, light, and warm. Prepare yourself a nice cup of coffee or tea, and get cozy in your comfy blanket. Here are 12 movies that will make you feel the fall vibes and enjoy the short time before the winter comes. Hope this will save you from scrolling down the screen endlessly to find one thing to watch.

Meg, Amy, Jo, and Beth from Little Women

  1. Little Woman (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AST2-4db4ic This is by far the best version of Littile Woman in my opinion. The whole aethetic is warm and cozy, and it goes back and fourth to the sister’s childhood memories and their adulthood life and it will make you feel nostalgic for sure.
  2. Road to Avonlea (1990) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSaFQCmSZ5s This is based on books “The Story Girl” and it’s sequal “The Golden Road” written by Lucy Maud Montgomery in 1911. The story is setted in Prince Edward Island in Canada where filled with nature and pepole’s kind hearts. It will bring you back the memories of your happy childhood.
