Coming in at #10 is the one, the only, Good Will Hunting! This movie centers around Will, played by Matt Damon, who is living an underwhelming life while secretly being a genius. After solving a practically impossible equation he is discovered by a professor who leads him to a more meaningful life. This movie is a heart warming classic bound to be loved by all!
#9 spot goes to Dead Poets Society! This movie has a true cultural impact fit for generations. Our main character is a new English teacher (played by Robin Williams!) facing simple minded students weighed down by pressure. This English teacher finds a way to teach his students by making them see things from a new perspective and leaving an impact on them that they will surely never forget. I will never get over how truly amazing this movie is and will be sure to rewatch every time the leaves start to fall.
#8 Labrinth
Now our #8 slot had some mixed opinions but nevertheless, give it up for the Labyrinth! This movie is no doubt a must watch. It centers around a young girl who takes things for granted. In a fit of rage she wishes for her brother to be taken away by the goblin king. When her brother does get kidnapped she realizes the terrible mistake she has made and now has to navigate an upside down world to get him back. This movie seems to have had such a cultural impact it will surely never die making it an adventurous, wickedly weird movie perfect for Fall!
In the #7 spot we have the original Practical Magic! This story follows two sisters who are raised with two witch aunts. One of them grows up to live a more normal lowkey life, whereas the second sister lives a wild and adventurous life. After getting into trouble the sisters need to work together to get out of a sticky situation. Along the way they find love, friendship, and acceptance. This movie is an oldie but a goodie!
#6 goes to Corpse Bride! This movie is a stop motion animation centering a man in the 19th century who gets forced into an arranged marriage with a deceased bride. This movie had a spooky vibe and a creative plot perfect for October!
Now onto the top five! The fifth slot goes to Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. I think most everyone would agree that this timeless movie is amazing no matter what version you watch. This movie centers around Charlie, a poor boy who won a tour of the greatest and most mysterious chocolate factory in the world. When watching this movie you feel a sense of comfort and that warm feeling of nostalgia. Charlie’s adventure is a good watch during any time of the year, but it especially fits for the cozy autumn vibe.
#4 goes to Hoccus Poccus! This is a highly liked movie seen by all, about a couple of kids who raise ancient witches from the dead. To save their town they have to send them back where they came from. This is a nail biting story filled with humor, fantasy, halloween, and even a little romance. If you are anyone with a brain then you will probably fall in love with this movie!
Now onto the top three! #3 movie is…. Fantastic Mr. Fox! This story centers around, you guessed it, Fantastic Mr. Fox who steals food from farmers to feed his family. After the farmers figure out what is happening conflict causes Mr. Fox to face tough decisions. This is a cozy movie that gives a particularly thanksgiving vibe, perfect for the whole family.
Our runner up is, of course, Coraline! This movie centers Coraline, a young girl full of whimsy who moves to a new house she despises. After getting into many fights with her distant minded parents she discovered a little door leading to a picture perfect version of her life. Everything in this other world is exactly what Coraline dreams of. After further investigation however she finds not everything is as it seems. This movie is a carefully crafted stop motion animation that sets an epicly eerie vibe, comfortably cozy for fall.
Finishing in first place we have, (drumroll please) none other than Charlie Brown! From Halloween to Thanksgiving specials, this quintessential show is sure to never die. Centering around Charlie Brown we watch as Classic kid experiences unfold and relatable lines are told. Charlie Brown is a masterpiece that holds nostalgia for every generation.
