Hey Jersey, what’s up? Ummm, some of us are waiting impatiently for the approximately six minutes of fall we get around here, so if you wouldn’t mind shaking a tail feather and delivering it toot sweet. And it’s not just me now. I’ve talked to a half dozen people who are miffed that they had to close up their houses again. We don’t want this humidity and warmth, it’s the MIDDLE OF GOSH DANG OCTOBER, CAN YOU GIVE US A BREAK ALREADY?

Sheesh.

So since the weather isn’t exactly cooperating, if you need some fall motivation, here are some movies that celebrate fall the way it feels.

“You’ve Got Mail.” Just the opening sequence feels like falling leaves!

“When Harry Met Sally.” Meg again, with Billy Crystal. What a pairing. Cutest scene, and one day Meg Ryan’s fashion in this movie will be crushed over just as much as Diane Keaton in Annie Hall.

“Halloween.” I know, it’s a slasher film, but the fall scenes ARE scenes from my childhood. The fading dusky light, the skittering leaves, and the time when friends talked and walked, and didn’t hold cell phones.

“Stepmom.” I love this scene where Susan Sarandon relaxes outside in her yard wearing her comfy fall outfit.

“Sweet Home Alabama.” This is a sweet compilation, the fall part of the scene is around minute 3:30.

Tomorrow: Great local hiking spots if, like me, you can’t go too far this fall!
