Harvest Notes | Movies & Shows to Stream this Fall

Okay, so what even is fall without all the good cozy movies & shows?
Am I right?
I mean, think about it. Let’s really get into the moment.
It’s a rainy October evening & it’s cold outside, You jump into your favorite pjs, put together some comfort snacks, & get lost in a story that fits the mood. Maybe it’s a small-town love story, a cozy mystery, or something just spooky enough to make you grab the blanket a little tighter.
If you’ve been wondering what to watch this season, I’ve gathered fifty cozy favorites, some brand new, others nostalgic classics, all made for slow evenings & flickering screens.
+ Classic & Timeless Fall Picks
Some stories just feel like fall. They remind us of simpler times. Coffee in paper cups, long walks under golden trees, & the kind of movies that never get old no matter how many times you’ve seen them.

The right movie is only half the magic. The rest is in the setup. A candle flickering nearby, a cozy blanket, the smell of cinnamon in the air. My fall movie nights always include:
- A mug of chai or hot cider
- A soft throw blanket & fuzzy socks
- Something sweet or salty to snack on
- Dim lighting & maybe a window cracked open to let that crisp air in
It’s less about what you’re watching & more about how it feels to just be in the moment.
Whether you love rewatching old favorites or finding the next big thing, I hope this list helps you make the most of fall’s cozy evenings. There’s something special about slowing down, pressing play, & letting a story take you away for a while.
What’s on your fall watchlist this year?
Share your go-tos in the comments or tag me on Instagram when you press play! I love seeing your cozy setups.
Ciao, babes!
