1. Autumn in New York
Think of a cheesy New York City love story, but with lots of gorgeous fall foliage backdropping every single scene. Richard Gere plays a successful, womanizing restauranteur who falls head over heels in love with a free-spirited girl (Winona Ryder).
Sounds like that rom-com you’ve watched a thousand times, but there’s a harrowing issue in the plotline: The young girl only has a few months left to live.

2. Sweet Home Alabama
Romcoms get us dreaming about our wedding day, but what happens when you’re secretly married to your Southerner childhood best friend? That’s exactly what happens to Melanie (played by Reese Witherspoon), a successful New York fashion designer.
In order to be able to walk down the aisle to her new beau, she must head back to her hometown in Alabama to divorce her estranged husband, but things don’t go quite as smoothly as she thought they would.

3. Practical Magic
In the mood for something Halloween-themed that doesn’t necessarily give you nightmares at night? If you’re not up for a horror fest but still want to get that Halloween spirit up, Practical Magic is just the movie you are after.
The story features two witch sisters, Sally and Gillian, who don’t have a lot in common except for an unlucky curse they must get rid of. The obstacles? An obsessive ex-boyfriend, law enforcement, and a whole lot of supernatural occurrences.

4. Sweet November
In the mood for a good ol’ cry? Nelson Moss meets Sara Deever, an intriguing woman who proposes to Nelson to spend a romantic month together.
After a series of laughs and swoon-worthy moments, Nelson falls in love with Sara and proposes marriage to her right on the day their “November” affair is set to be over.
Confused as to why Sara would only date men for a month before calling it quits, he soon discovers she is terminally ill.

5. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
We all want to spend Thanksgiving with our families, but it’s not so easy when you find yourself on a totally different side of the country. Eager to return in time for the feast, Neal goes through a series of unfortunate (and often hilarious) events to make his way back home.
Along the way, he meets Del, who is on a similar mission to get back to his own family.
- Amazon Prime Video (Video on Demand)

6. Matilda
A theatrical classic that is a must-see if you’re not necessarily in the mood to dress up to see the actual musical. Lucky for us who love to stay home, there’s a wonderful movie version available, so you’re all set!
Matilda is a bright girl who, to their parent's dismay, loves to read and learn. Tired of her “shenanigans”, her parents send her to school to deal with an evil Miss Trunchbull, but Matilda is not about to sit quietly and accept her authoritarian abuse.
