Set at the start of school, most of the movie explores fun fall activities and involves everything fall. Although the movie does explore seasons beyond fall, it exhibits the perfect fall vibes.
2. You’ve Got Mail
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan star in “You’ve Got Mail,” a great movie to cuddle up with some popcorn and a blanket and experience all the emotions right alongside the characters.

All the while, both Joe and Kathleen are chatting online with one another, but they have no clue. The movie explores their journey from enemies, to whatever comes next.
3. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” is considered a classic Rom-Com by many, while the seasonal setting is unclear, it fits the fall vibe perfectly.

What she doesn’t know is that Ben Berry, an executive, is greatly confident in his ability to make a woman fall in love with him in ten days. The two battle it out in their contradictory quests. Although it’s unclear when exactly the movie is set, it’s a great fall watch.
