This year the seasons are in no hurry to change, so the traditional fall movie marathon was even more anticipated. We’ve collected 6 movies that are especially nice to watch when it’s gloomy and uncomfortable outside.
DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989)
We open the selection with a film that many have probably seen, but in the fall it is definitely worth watching again and feeling nostalgic for school and your favorite teachers. John Keating (Robin Williams) is the new English teacher at Welton, a prestigious private boys’ school founded on four principles: tradition, honor, discipline and excellence. What sets him apart from the prissy mass of teachers is his ease of communication, his eccentric behavior, and his disregard for the curriculum. He has his own teaching methods and his own ideas about what still fragile minds should learn. One day he decides to introduce his students to the secret of the Dead Poets Society. From this moment on, each of the children tries to find their own voice in a faceless choir and in a world that is not limited by the gray fence of the school.
WHEN HARRY MET SALLY (1989)
Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) become random companions on the road from Chicago to New York and, to disguise the awkwardness of their first (and not very successful) meeting, they begin to discuss everything that happens to them. mind. Including whether sex can destroy the ideal friendship between a man and a woman. For the next eleven years, they constantly find themselves in various circumstances. Each meeting brings new and not always pleasant impressions to the heroes, and the nature of this relationship is also not clear to both: is it some kind of friendship, attraction or something more? Throughout the film a difficult, but real and strong, and unconditionally honest, connection is built between the characters. The film poses the question: “Can men and women be just friends?” and touches on sensitive topics about relationships.
PRACTICAL MAGIC (1998)
While we prepare for winter with the fresh harvest or bake cakes, we watch “Practical Magic,” the story of young sisters Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian (Nicole Kidman), from an ancient family of witches, whose lovers are condemned to die young The sisters, raised by their aunts after the death of their parents, learned practical magic and the basics of difficult cooking from a young age. Rumors are rumors, but young women don’t have any bad thoughts, they just want to love and be happy. A classic of fall movie marathons, whose sequel is already said to be in development.
SWEET NOVEMBER (2001)
Long afternoons are for nostalgia. So why not watch movies starring your favorite actors? Our choice is “Sweet November”. Nelson Moss (Keanu Reeves) is a typical businessman, an advertising agent who sacrifices his personal life for the sake of his career. But one day he meets Sarah (Charlize Theron), who is unlike any woman he has ever met before. Their completely random relationship continues with several more meetings at Sarah’s initiative. A little strange, carefree and philosophical about life, she changes Nelson’s life. This is the second collaboration between Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron, which, unlike the first (The Devil’s Advocate), was destroyed by critics. Now, however, the film is considered a classic of the genre.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (2005)
If you don’t reread the classics, watch them again. England, late 18th century. The parents of the five Bennet sisters are concerned about successfully marrying off their daughters, as the poor estate of Longbourn, where they live, is inherited through the male line and, upon Mr. Bennet’s death, will pass into the hands of a distant relative. , Collins, who can just throw all the women out the door. But then a young aristocrat, Mr. Bingley (Simon Woods), arrives in town. However, not everything is so simple. The Bennets’ headstrong second daughter, Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), meets Bingley’s friend, the handsome and arrogant Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen), and a serious confrontation breaks out between them, the result of which can be both love and hate.
MR. MORGAN’S LAST LOVE (2013)
It is generally accepted that autumn is a time of withering, when nature and life itself pause. But what if this is not the case? An elderly American professor, Matthew Morgan (Michael Caine), lives alone and reclusive in Paris, where he once taught philosophy at a local university. His wife, whom he loved very much, died several years ago. It seems that everything important in life is left in the past. But one day on the bus, when he almost fell, Pauline (Clémence Poesy), a young and outspoken dance teacher, gave him a hand. Because of her (or just next to her), Matthew changed: he started going to dances, shaved, felt younger and, apparently, even found the meaning of life.
