You’ve Got Mail (1998) – Bookstores, golden leaves, and sweet romance. Do I really need to say more?
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) – Magical adventures in 1920s New York, with a warm autumnal palette. At first, I wasn’t sure if I should include this on a list of cozy movies, but I imagined a family snuggling up and enjoying it, and that decided it.
