my autumn must-watch list
'Tis the season for delicious doom and glorious gloom
Thank you for joining me in the Inner Parlour today. This is a subsection of my newsletter, Lilith’s Muse, where we’ll have deeper conversations in a smaller setting. So please, take a seat by the fire. You are in good company here.
One thing about me? I love a list. I’ll turn anything into a list. Lists bring me indescribable amounts of comfort and joy. (Perhaps you’ve already noticed this.)
Now that the weather is turning colder, the leaves shifting to sunset orange, and every store thrusts pumpkin-themed-wares into your hands, you know autumn is in the air. I won’t lie to you and say it’s my favorite season—summer will always wear that crown, in my opinion—but it is my second favorite season. Mainly through process of elimination. Winter is dreadful and my allergies are so bad that spring feels like the Earth itself is trying to kill me. Autumn wins second place by default.
But at the same time, I—like most people—love autumn as a theme. So today I’m bringing you a list of the movies I simply must watch before winter rears its ugly head. Some of them are rewatches and some are films that I’ve never seen before, but all of them will be crossed off my list before winter—and maybe you’ll cross them off yours too!
