So grab your pumpkin spice latte and check out these ten movie suggestions to set your mood to fall.
1. Dead Poets Society (1989)

The prep school is known for its high standards and ancient traditions. Keating inspires his students through his teaching of poetry and unorthodox methods.

2. The Goonies (1985)
The Goonies follows a group of kids living in the “Goon Docks” neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon. They find a treasure map that leads them on an action-packed adventure seeking the long-lost fortune of the pirate, One-Eyed Willy.

3. Beetlejuice (1988)
Beetlejuice is a cult classic that tells a story about a recently deceased couple, Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara Maitland (Genna Davis). They are ghosts who haunt their former home as the Deetz family moves in.

The supporting cast includes Catherine O’Hara, Winona Ryder, and Jeffrey Jones.
4. Halloween (1974)
Halloween is an independent slasher film that’s turned into a film franchise with a cult following.
Redditor DariusEGrouchIII said, “Halloween, even though it’s filmed in California, it has a very distinct midwestern late October feel.”
It tells the story of a troubled mental patient named Michael Myers. Michael murdered his teenage sister on Halloween night when he was six.
Fifteen years later, he escapes, returning to his hometown, where he goes on a murdering spree while hunting his other sister Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis).
5. Hocus Pocus (1993)
Hocus Pocus follows a comedic villainous coven of witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy).
The Sander Sisters are inadvertently resurrected by a virgin teenage boy, Max Dennison (Omri Katz), in Salem, Massachusetts, on Halloween night.
A magical talking cat helps the kids in the film steal the witch’s book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal.”
6. Hoosiers (1986)
Inspired partly by the Milan High School team who won the 1954 state championship, Hoosiers tells the story of a failed college coach Norman Dale (Gene Hackman), taking a small-town Indiana high school basketball team to the state championship.

It is a season-long encounter that shatters Will’s preconceptions about women, romance, adult relations, and responsibility.
8. Twilight (2008)
Twilight takes place in a wet and rainy Washington state with an abundance of giant evergreens and nature. So it’s a little less warm and cozy but still has autumn vibes.
It’s the start of a new school year, and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has relocated from Arizona. She meets and immediately becomes infatuated with Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).
Edward is a vegetarian vampire, but he desperately thirsts for her blood, making their unlikely romance difficult.
