Fall movies 🍂


 This morning, the weather started getting cold and it feels like fall. The trees started to look yellow, and you can finally see brown leaves on the streets and the breeze makes it even better. 

1) When Harry met Sally (1989):

Harry and Sally have known each other for years, and are very good friends, but they fear sex would ruin the friendship.

I just love this movie and everything about it, I'm a huge fan of Meg Ryan and this is my favoutite movie of hers. The storyline is so simple yet so entertaining. I highly recommend this movie to add to your fall watchlist.

2) Hocus Pocus (1993):

A curious youngster moves to Salem, where he struggles to fit in before awakening a trio of diabolical witches that were executed in the 17th century.



All I can say that it's a classic halloween movie for me, it's unbelievably funny, the cast is amazing and the whole atmosphere screams fall. I cannot wait for the sequel!

3) Practical Magic (1998):

Two witch sisters, raised by their eccentric aunts in a small town, face closed-minded prejudice and a curse which threatens to prevent them ever finding lasting love.


I mean it's a fall movie about magic and witches and it starres Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. Like I had no choice but enjoy every bit of it, and let me tell you how good Nicole looks with ginger hair, a bomb!  

4) The Addams Family (1991):

Con artists plan to fleece an eccentric family using an accomplice who claims to be their long-lost uncle.



A classic, funny and amusing and very quotable. And Morticia Addams is what I want to be when I grow old, she's classy, she has poise and the smokey eyes!

5) Dead poets society (1989):


Maverick teacher John Keating uses poetry to embolden his boarding school students to new heights of self-expression.


I feel blessed after I saw this movie for the first time as an adult, so I can be able to understand every aspect of it.

It's not your typical cozy fall movie, yes you can see fall through their uniform outfits and autumn leaves falling down. This movie is not overrated at all, and it deserves all the hype, it's just not your typical happy movie and the happy characters and ending.

Enemies to Lovers movies

I've always loved enemies to lovers trope in romantic movies, the tension and the chemistry between the leads makes the storyline much better.





Enemies to lovers trope is when two characters start off as enemies and, over the course of a book or series, end up in a romantic relationship. These 'enemies' have to overcome their differences or misconceptions about each other, and in the process, they fall in love.

Pride and prejudice (2005):



Sparks fly when spirited Elizabeth Bennet meets single, rich, and proud Mr. Darcy. But Mr. Darcy reluctantly finds himself falling in love with a woman beneath his class. Can each overcome their own pride and prejudice.

Hands down to my favourite enemies to lovers film, the rich proud gentleman who falls for the poor plain girl. They both deny their feelings and hate each other, but then Mr Darcy falls harder and confesses his feelings to her despite her social status. 



The rain scene gets me everytime, the tension, the words and the rain made the scene more significant scenes in the film. I'll never get over the way he felt when she rejected him.


Miss Elizabeth. I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer. These past months have been a torment. I came to Rosings with the single object of seeing you... I had to see you. I have fought against my better judgment, my family's expectations, the inferiority of your birth by rank and circumstance. All these things I am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony.

How to lose a guy in 10 days (2003):



Benjamin Barry is an advertising executive and ladies' man who, to win a big campaign, bets that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days

Little did he know, that woman was writing an article about losing a guy in 10 days. The hatred game they both palyed was full of sexual chesmitry, along with a bit of comedy. 



The main leads have insane chesmitry between them, her plan to make him hate her didn't go with his plan of making her fall for him.

I can't describe how funy the situations they both got themselves in, but at the end they fall so hard for each other.


The Ugly Truth (2009):



An uptight television producer takes control of a morning show segment on modern relationships hosted by a misogynistic man.

I can't blame the protagonist for hating him, he was very sexist, arrogant and very misogynistic. The way he talks about women and the awy he treats them is very degrating and awful. 



However,  Heigl as usual is very good, she is made for this type of movies and Butler is a real surprise, he did excellent in his very first romantic comedy. In conclusion, The Ugly Truth is a very enjoyable comedy for men and women.

The Hating game (2021):

Resolving to achieve professional success without compromising her ethics, Lucy embarks on a ruthless game of one-upmanship against cold and efficient nemesis Joshua, a rivalry that is complicated by her growing attraction to him.

Hands down to my favourite recent discovery, I know it's based on a book with the same name but I didn't read it. So Lucy is a bookworm but Joshua is not, they disagree on the slightest, tiniest little things. They call each other the worst names, flip and mock each other fun.



They work together and they are the exact opposite of the other. But they do have something in common: they are both very ambitious, so things take a turn when they are competing for the same job.



Both of the leads have insane chesmitry that is quite enjoyable throughout the film. I recommend this movie, you'll enjoy it so much!

27 dresses (2008):



After serving as a bridesmaid 27 times, a young woman wrestles with the idea of standing by her sister's side as her sibling marries the man she's secretly in love with.

So the main lead loves wedding and is obsessed with them, on the other hand the male lead hates weddings and everything about them. And he finds out about her double life and decides to expose her while pretending to write about her in the journal.



She hated his guts, she found him really nosy and annoying and then their relationship develops into a strange friendship and then they fall for each other. I find their cute love-hate relationship so entertaining and I highly recommend this movie!
