90's Fall Movies
The leaves are changing, school is starting and all I want to do is watch 90’s movies. These are my favorite movies from the 1990’s that depict this beautiful time of year.
Practical magic (1998)
Categories: Fantasy
Hulu, Prime (free), HBO Max
Why I love this movie
This is a great non-scary Halloween movie to watch that will still get you ready for the season. Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock play sisters and witches in a the beautiful fall setting of New England off the coast of Massachusetts.
Election (1999)
Categories: Dark comedy
HBO Now, Prime (free)
Why I love this movie
What’s more fall than an election? This is the hilarious story of a high schooler (Reese Whitherspoon) who takes her school election way too far. If you like Netflix’s -The Politician, you’ll love this movie.
Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Categories: Fantasy
Netflix, Hulu
Why I love this movie
One of Tim Burton’s lesser acclaimed movies, Sleepy Hallow is another fun Halloween watch if you aren’t looking for something super scary. The casting of Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci is perfect for the retelling of this classic tale.
Step mom (1998)
Categories: Emotional drama
Rent Prime
Why I love this movie
Bring on the tissues. This movie has me weeping every time I watch but has a gorgeous New York city/New York state fall back drop and I would be remise not to include it on this list.
You've Got Mail
Categories: Corny but good
Rent Prime
Why I love this movie
This is your quintessential fall, I love NY, type of movie. It’s the sweet story of two New Yorkers who meet in the ‘old days’ of chat rooms. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are adorable and you’ll enjoy the eye-candy of New York in the fall.
Runaway Bride (1999)
Categories: Corny but good
Rent Prime
Why I love this movie
Another gorgeous small East Coast town set in fall. This movie is light and fun and has an incredible 90’s soundtrack that makes up for a somewhat predictable plot.
Father of the bride (1991)
Categories: Corny but good
Rent Prime
Why I love this movie
Father of the Bride isn’t an overtly fall film but the family themes and their beautiful home just makes me want to watch it this time of year. It holds up so well and Martin Short is so funny as the wedding planner.
