17 Movies Set in the Fall to Watch With a Warm and Spicy Latte

Fall is here, which means we can finally ditch our flip-flops and sunscreen for cozy scarfs and spicy lattes. And when it comes to entertainment, we have to put away our old copy of The Sandlot for another year, because there's nothing quite like watching movies set in the Fall during Fall. From classics like When Harry Met Sally to less traditional favorites likes Road Trip, there are few things we love more than burying ourselves under blankets, letting the crisp breeze fly through the open windows, and hunkering down to press play.
