10 Movies to Watch on a Fall Evening

Fall is made for movies. While rain, wind, and fog take turns outside, why not immerse yourself in the romance of college campuses, gentle melancholy, and captivating fantasy worlds? Here are some fall movies worth adding to your watchlist:

1. Mona Lisa Smile (IMDb: 6.6). Set in the 1950s at Wellesley College, the story follows a new art history professor who stands out in an environment where everyone firmly believes that a woman’s success is measured by how well she marries. Katherine Watson inspires her students to think beyond traditional expectations and fight for their rights. Meanwhile, we get to enjoy the atmosphere of college life, the academic year, and the beautiful aesthetics of the era.
2. Mistress America (IMDb: 6.7). Tracy meets Brooke, her soon-to-be stepsister, and together they dive into the bustling life of New York City. Behind the jokes, constant activity, and ambitious plans, another story gradually emerges — one about growing up, managing expectations, and learning to let go of the past. The chilly New York atmosphere perfectly complements this mood.
3. Julie & Julia (IMDb: 7.0). We wouldn’t recommend watching this movie on an empty stomach, as delicious food takes center stage. Julie challenges herself to cook all 524 recipes from Julia Child’s cookbook in just one year. Her culinary experiment gradually helps her escape her daily routine and rediscover herself. This movie simply had to make our fall selection — it’s wonderfully relaxing, atmospheric, and heartwarming.
4. Hotel Transylvania (IMDb: 7.1). If you love vampire-themed stories in the fall but aren’t quite ready for horror movies, this animated comedy is a great choice. Dracula’s daughter, Mavis, is celebrating her 118th birthday, and monsters from everywhere gather at the family’s hotel. But everything goes off track when an ordinary human tourist named Jonathan unexpectedly arrives among the supernatural guests.
5. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (IMDb: 7.2). If you associate Harry Potter movies with winter, Newt Scamander’s adventures might be just right for fall. The story takes place in New York City, 70 years before Harry Potter reads Newt’s book at Hogwarts. Magic, historic city streets, and a muted color palette make this movie a perfect choice for a chilly evening.
6. The Cider House Rules (IMDb: 7.4). Homer Wells arrives at a New England farm to pick apples. There, he experiences freedom for the first time, falls in love, and faces the consequences of his own decisions. Apple orchards, subdued landscapes, and melancholic storytelling make this film an excellent choice for anyone in the mood for something a little bittersweet.
7. When Harry Met Sally… (IMDb: 7.7). Harry and Sally meet, go their separate ways, and unexpectedly cross paths several more times. Only years later do they realize how close they’ve become. Often considered one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time, the movie unfolds at a relaxed pace against the backdrop of beautiful fall scenery and iconic New York City locations.
8. Fantastic Mr. Fox (IMDb: 7.9). If you appreciate the charm of stop-motion animation, Wes Anderson’s take on the genre is a must-watch. The story follows a clever fox who drags his family into yet another adventure. Cozy family vibes, distinctive humor, and the stunning colors of an autumn forest are already more than enough reasons to give this animated movie a try.
9. Inside Out (IMDb: 8.1). After moving to a new city, Riley’s familiar emotional world begins to fall apart, while Joy and Sadness embark on a journey through her mind. This touching and funny animated movie makes a complicated truth easy to understand: sadness is an important part of life, too.
10. Coco (IMDb: 8.4). Set during Mexico’s Day of the Dead celebrations, the story follows twelve-year-old Miguel as he discovers a family secret and sets off on a journey that changes the way he sees his loved ones and his family’s past. It’s a touching story about memory, love, and the bonds between generations.

The Apple TV collection has even more fall movies that will make you laugh, cry, and root for your favorite characters. And if you prefer TV series, the final episodes of season four of Ted Lasso have just been released. Audiences have fallen in love with the show for its kindness, witty humor, and easygoing storytelling — just what you need after a long, tiring day.

Which Apple Device Should You Choose for Movies and Entertainment?

Apple TV is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, as well as PlayStation, Xbox, and compatible smart TVs from Samsung, Sony, LG, and other brands.

iPhone is especially convenient for watching movies and TV shows on the go. You can catch an episode over coffee, on public transport, during lunch, or between classes. Current models support HDR video and offer enough battery life for even the longest viewing sessions. For example, iPhone 18 Pro delivers up to 33 hours of streamed video playback on a single charge.

iPad offers a significantly larger screen while remaining easy to carry around. If you plan to watch movies while traveling, cooking, or relaxing on the couch, the iPad Air with an 11-inch or 13-inch Liquid Retina display is a great choice. Its anti-reflective coating reduces glare, while the battery provides up to 10 hours of video playback.

MacBook is ideal for long movies and binge-watching TV shows, thanks to its large screen and the fact that you don’t need to hold it in your hands. You can easily place it on a desk at home, take it to a hotel, or use it on a train. MacBook Air features a Liquid Retina display with P3 wide color support and True Tone technology, offering up to 18 hours of battery life on a single charge.

For immersive sound, use AirPods with Spatial Audio, a technology supported by all current models. The earbuds track your head movements and adjust the sound accordingly, helping you feel more immersed in the story.
