There’s just something about Fall that makes you want to grab a blanket, pour a glass of wine, and sink into the couch with a feel-good movie. Whether you’re full of turkey, hiding from your family, or just enjoying that perfect fall chill, here are some movies that totally fit the season.

🦃 Thanksgiving Classics

These are the go-tos for turkey weekend — full of family chaos, travel mishaps, and that perfectly nostalgic vibe.

• Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) – Steve Martin and John Candy are two guys just trying to get home for Thanksgiving. It’s hilarious, heartwarming, and hands down the best Thanksgiving movie ever.
• Home for the Holidays (1995) – Dysfunctional family energy at its absolute finest. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you’ll relate.
• Pieces of April (2003) – Katie Holmes plays a daughter hosting Thanksgiving in her tiny apartment… what could go wrong?
• You’ve Got Mail (1998) – Okay, not officially a Thanksgiving movie, but it feels like it. Cozy sweaters, New York in the fall, and that warm fuzzy feeling.

These aren’t about Thanksgiving, but they capture the season perfectly.

• Little Women (2019) – The scenery, the sisterhood, the cozy nostalgia — it’s basically a warm hug in movie form.
• Good Will Hunting (1997) – Moody Boston streets, flannel shirts, and deep conversations — it’s the ultimate fall comfort movie.
• Dead Poets Society (1989) – Grab a blanket and a tissue. This one’s emotional, thoughtful, and perfectly autumnal.
• When Harry Met Sally (1989) – That “leaves in Central Park” scene is the definition of autumn romance.
