12. Edward Scissorhands (1990)
20th Century Fox
“I have fond memories of watching it in my brother’s room in the dark, wrapped up in a cozy blanket, drinking pumpkin spice lattes, and eating the Hostess cakes my mom would buy me. It always puts me in the mood for autumn.” – turntablesmicrophone
13. Remember the Titans (2000)
Buena Vista Pictures

14. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Walt Disney Pictures
“Since it came out, my brothers and I have always watched it around the time school started. Now we’re all grown and still do it separately. The nice thing is that it’s seasonally appropriate to watch all the way through to Christmas.” – l4cc479c84
15. Mystic Pizza (1988)
The Samuel Goldwyn Company
“My mom always watched this when I was little. I match up fall and this movie in my head, and when it starts getting cold outside I have a weird urge to find this movie and watch it.” – kyled476a98496
16. Young Frankenstein (1974)
20th Century Fox
“It is, and will forever be, my favourite movie. I watch it a few times each year, but especially around Halloween, because it’s one of the funniest monster movies of all time!” – figgy211

“It’s the perfect mix of atmosphere, spookiness, campiness, and gore that gets me ready for Halloween.” – crankycrixus
18. Tanner Hall (2009)
Anchor Bay Films
“It’s an indie flick with Brie Larson and Rooney Mara about four friends in a boarding school in New England. As pretentious as it may be, the leaves on the ground and the old Ivy League-esque school grounds make me want to pull out my tartan scarves and go to an apple orchard.” – gillab
19. The Blind Side (2009)
Warner Bros.
“It’s a football movie, so it gets me ready for college football. The whole movie has a fall vibe to me.” – allisonkated

21. Trick ‘r Treat (2007)
Warner Bros.
“It’s the perfect scary horror movie to get you into the mood for autumn. Three stories are all interwoven together. They remind me a lot of the old Tales From the Crypt or Tales From the Darkside. I watch it a couple of times a year at least but it really gets me excited for fall, Halloween, and scary stuff.” – Lisasimpsonfan
23. October Sky (1999)
Universal Pictures
“I remember watching it in school every autumn. It’s inspiring and heartbreaking and has the makings of a great film. It was also when my awkward middle school self fell in love with Jake Gyllenhaal.” – Rachel S
