The 26 Best Fall Movies
hellogiggles.com

Thank goodness fall is finally here. There are few things that get me more excited than when I get to put on my leather boots again and the leaves begin turning orange and the smell of cooler, crisper air hits me in the morning. And even for me, a perpetually single girl, fall feels like the season when everyone falls in love.

It’s the time when people like me put on their over sized hoodies and leggings and thick socks, warm up some apple cider, snuggle in with their significant other/best friend/pet, and put on a good movie. Fall means magic and horror and togetherness and that is what happens in the very best fall movies. Here are some of the best films, in my opinion, to watch in the fall (that do not involve people chopping each others heads off).

1. 500 Days of Summer

This is one of those mushy love movies that is always good. But again, fall is the time for love and this movie shows all things love and dating perfectly.

2-9. Harry Potter

Okay, so there are a lot of these films but they are classic and magical and will put you in a wonderful mood for the fall.

10. The Emperors New Groove

Alright, I know this technically has nothing to do with fall or Halloween, but (spoiler alert) the emperor becomes a llama and it is whimsical and hysterical and is underappreciated.

11. Can’t Buy Me Love

Classic. Classic. Classic. And to me, any movie that takes place in a high school feels like it's set in October.

12-14. The Purge

This is a series of three movies so far. These are a good balance between being "scary" and just having blood and guts flying everywhere. You're not going to get sick to your stomach and you won't be afraid to go to sleep. Win.

15. Remember the Titans

Fall. Football. Self explanatory.

16. The Shining

Another classic movie. With just enough horror thrown in there to be appropriate for Halloween time.

17. Nine Dead

This movie, sadly, has been taken off of Netflix. But if you can find it anywhere, watch it. It is a murder mystery kind of movie and will have your brain working really hard.

19. Casper Meets Wendy

A young Hilary Duff is enough reason for me to watch anything. Seriously. Watch this if you want your heart to be happy.


20-23. Halloweentown

Because October has not been fulfilled unless each Halloweentown movie has been watched AT LEAST two times.

18. You’re Next

This is another former Netflix movie. I probably am such a big fan of this movie because the hero is this truly tough, strong, self sufficient woman which we deserve to see more of.


24. The Uninvited

Creepy is the best word I can think of to describe this film. Not gory. Not Halloween themed. But you'll feel just a little bit uncomfortable the whole time you watch it. Which apparently is a good thing.

25. Tower of Terror

This is hard to find since it didn't seem to have success for too long. Almost every year I find this movie somehow and it puts me in the best mood for Halloween. Featuring a pre-Bring it On Kirsten Dunst. Automatic winner.

26. Hocus Pocus

This is the best Halloween movie ever made and one of the best movies ever made, in general, in my opinion. I had to save the best for last.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
