Over the last couple of days I've been getting major Autumnal vibes. The clocks have gone back, it's got noticeably colder, and Costa's Christmas hot chocolates come out in 2 days! The heating is currently on and yesterday I walked home from uni in the dark; it's a little saddening but I'm all for the cosy nights in.
If, like me, you find yourself wrapped up in your teddy bear blanket (Dunelm I'm looking at you) with a nice big mug of hot chocolate - with added marshmallows might i add, then here is a list of my favourite films and series that you need to watch.
Gilmore Girls
I feel like whatever you read about the best things to watch on Netflix, Gilmore Girls is always going to be on the list. From the cute little town of Stars Hollow, to Lorelai's obsession with snow, this show screams Fall. In between my weekly instalments of the Kardashians and Riverdale, and watching Stranger Things 2, I've been re-watching this from the start, because Lorelai and Rory become almost like your best friends. It's just like a big autumnal hug. If you have no idea what I am talking about, Gilmore Girls, in a nutshell, is about the life of single mum Lorelai and her daughter Rory who are more best friends than mother-daughter. Through the 7 seasons, you see Rory grow up into an adult, dealing with private school, college and relationships, with Lorelai supporting and adapting to the different situations in which they both face. If you love witty humour and a good binge this is definitely the show for you.
Gilmore Girls - A Year In The Life
If you're now watching the original Gilmore Girls series' then you're probably addicted and you will probably be thirsty for more when you come to the finale in series 7. Good news, Netflix made a sequel. Gilmore Girls - A Year In The Life is a 4-part series, set 9 years later from the original. The four parts cover each season, starting with 'Winter'. Each episode is about 90 minutes long, so still binge-worthy, and the finale is 100% a cliffhanger. Just you wait.
Clueless
I actually only watched Clueless about a month ago. Omg. I know, I'm ashamed of myself too. If you like Mean Girls and you like a classic 90's film, you are going to love this. Cher, is a rich, 'daddy's little girl', Beverley Hills kid who "gives more than she bargains for when she gives a fashion-challenged student a makeover" (Netflix). Don't like the sound of it? AS IF.
Two Night Stand
This is another film I watched not that long ago and I'm not obsessed with. I'd say that this film is more of a cult/independent rom-com, and the narrative is simple, but very good if you're looking for an unlikely love story. It stars Miles Teller of Divergent and Analeigh Tipton, who I'd never seen before but was apparently in Lucy and Warm Bodies, so definitely two up and coming actors. If only it snowed like that in the UK...
What's Your Number?
In the way that Two Night Stand is a very unlikely love story and maybe not such a mainstream film, What's Your Number? is very similar. In the highly likely chance that you've watched Friends and haven't been living under a rock, you will definitely know Anna Faris - she was the biological mother of Monica and Chandler's twins and has recently split up with Chris Pratt. This film is funny, an easy watch, and another film you will be telling all of your friends to watch.
Jane The Virgin
Despite having more Summery vibes, Jane The Virgin is definitely a series you can binge and obsess over, and have a giggle at. A modern Ugly Betty, Jane is accidentally inseminated with the doctor's brother's sperm. Very dramatic, very unrealistic, but SO GOOD.
Eddie The Eagle
The last of my cosy-watched, and an unlikely choice, but it's so bad it's good. Taron Egerton is amazing in this true story about Eddie Edwards who, in 1988, became Britain's first ski-jumper since 1929. It's one of those feel good films that you can sit and have a cup of tea or a hot chocolate with, because it's British so it's kind of relatable.
There are so many more things I could list, but we'd be here all day! When it comes to Netflix, there is no time like the present! *she says as she looks at the long to-do list of uni work*
What are your favourite things to watch this time of year?
