4.) Autumn in New York (2000) 

New York again becomes the perfect backdrop for a bittersweet love story set in the fall. The melancholic Autumn in New York is filled with the dramatic beauty of the city at this time of year.

While critics, like Neil Smith of BBC, weren’t impressed at all with the “nauseating amount of glucose sentiment” in the movie’s script, the movie can still be somewhat of a guilty pleasure to watch (BBC, 2001) (5).

The snippets of the beautiful golden hues of Central Park and the eye candy that are Richard Gere and Winona Ryder still make it a tolerable weeper. 

5.) Silver Linings Playbook (2012) 

Silver Linings Playbook is a romantic dramedy set during the somber fall and winter months. The film makes you want to bury yourself under a throw for some cozy couch potato-ing.

Film critic Michael Leader described this fall film as a breath of fresh air for anyone weary of anti-romantic comedies, praising its exceptional blend of heartache, humor, and optimism (Rotten Tomatoes, 2024) (6).

The movie’s narrative follows two broken individuals forming an unusual bond, perfect for a reflective fall mood.
