“Progressively spookier but almost always happy...”

- a description of my entire life and also this movie list

#1. You’ve Got Mail (1998)

Your essential fall romantic comedy, enjoyed best in the biggest sweatshirt you own.

*Not streaming for free right now which is a crime to humanity.

#2. How Harry Met Sally (1989)

Michael Myers < Meg Ryan, I don’t make the autumn girl rules.

*Also not streaming for free, which begs the question: why does no one want us to be happy?

#3. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018)

Ever wanted to experience high school again from a safe distance and without your mid-30’s back pain? Turn 17 again as soon as you press play.

#4. Matilda (1996)

The musical was fine, but doesn’t make this list. 1996 version or bust.

#5. Little Women (2019)

Ironically this also makes the Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year and Valentine’s Day lists. 

#6. A Knight’s Tale (2001)

Love, action, whimsy, a bomb soundtrack, friendship, Heath Ledger in his prime - A Knight’s Tale has it all.

#7. Father of the Bride (1991)

Steve Martin is so good in this classic I might name my first born after him (I did). Nancy Myers aesthetic is so October golden hour.

#8. Love and Basketball (2000)

Not streaming for free right now (hello, 911?!) but worth paying for, Bighead.

#9. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you… Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

#10. The Greatest Showman (2017)

For a better life, watch once a month starting now and ending never.

#11. The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

Until we get the long-awaited sequel (officially confirmed!!!), we’ll keep watching the original (over and over again).

#12. Good Will Hunting (1998)

A heart-warming story of potential, and proof that you can enjoy movie night and feel inspired at the same time.

#13. Stardust (2007)

I can’t believe we don’t talk about this movie more. The Halloween spirit is defrosting…

#14. Enola Holmes (2020)

Millie Bobby Brown slays as Sherlock’s little sis in this Netflix original. 

#15. October Sky (1999)

A content gold mine, straight from the coal mine. The leaves are officially turning by this point in the list.

#16. Remember the Titans (2000)

There aren’t enough tissues and somehow I keep coming back?

#17. Runaway Bride (1999)

The perfect movie to have on in the background of your next fall writing day, with soup on the stove.

#18. Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

Painfully charming and totally screwed up, like all the good things in life are.

#19. Hook (1991)

29% on Rotten Tomatoes?! I am calling THE LAW.

#20. The Princess Diaries (2001)

Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo: Queen of our Hearts

#21. Edward Scissorhands (1990)

Not the slasher film you thought it was as a child… The most misleading cover and main character in cinematic history may be an overstatement, but also maybe not.

#22. Jumanji (1995)

No shade but please don’t get this confused with the recent re-make. Just follow the link.

#23. Knives Out (2019)

If classic who-done-it was a genre. Halloween vibes done right.

#24. Coco (2017)

Pixar didn’t have to go this hard, but I’m thankful.

#25. Casper (1995)

Anyone else not prepared for how sad the story is the first time you watched Casper as an adult…?

#26. Glass Onion (2022)

The cool sister of Knives Out and an absolute mysterious delight.

#27. Maleficent (2014)

Dark and magical without the gore, we love to see it.

#28. Practical Magic (1998)

The alternative watch list was just Practical Magic 31 times.

#29. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001)

If you feel led to watch the other six after this one, follow your heart. They all count.

#30. Double, Double, Toil and Trouble (1993)

Vintage Mary-Kate and Ashley: your kids are going to love you for this if they can get past the special effects. The grandma in that attic mirror went pretty hard in ‘93 though.

#31. Hocus Pocus (1993)

Finishing October the way God intended. Christmas tree is going up as soon as the credits start rolling.

Us too, Anne. Us too.
