filmmusic 1,823 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hello.I started this thread at blu-ray.com too, but i didn't get many suggestions in what i was looking for.I'm searching for films of the specific time frame, whose plot is in autumn, with many autumn landscapes and an autumn feel.I'm not searching for Halloween, or Thanksgiving movies (i will be searching for those in their own time). (neither horror/thrillers)One that fits the criteria, that I've seen, is The Trouble with Harry.Also When harry Mets Sally was suggested. I've seen it but I don't remember it much.. Rudy - that I watched yesterday - was very autumn-y too (although it had a couple of winter scenes)Dead poets Society has an excellent autumn atmosphere (the one I'm looking for), but its later part is held in snowy winter, so I'm keeping that for later..

airmanjerm 78 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Maybe not the type of movie you're looking for, but The Exorcist has lots of fall - like scenes interspersed with all the possession drama.Also, "Big" with Tom Hanks.StepmomUnfaithful Hoosiers Where the Red Fern Grows Cold Mountain October Sky EDIT: oh look, you said NOT Halloween movies.

filmmusic 1,823 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 thanks, I'd prefer movies that are 80-90% autumn.Meet me in St Louis is of course a great film, but it features all seasons.I don't remember if "A league of their own" fits.It certainly felt autumny with the nostalgic atmosphere..also maybe Steel Magnolias.Where the Red Fern Growswhich one do you mean?1974 or 1992?

Melange 446 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I seem to remember that The Dead Zone (1983) opening scenes are in Autumn, with leaves falling.I may be mistaken, but that first came to mind to the question, and Kamen's opening music fits that. (neither horror/thrillers)Ah, just saw that. Anyway., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,823 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 hehe.. No offense to anyone (thank you all for your replies), but when i start such threads (i mean in other forums too), it's obvious that noone reads the title or what I'm asking in my post.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Well no offense, but your "requirements" are incredibly strict and honestly make no sense. Fantastic Mr. Fox is beautiful in its color palette and atmosphere, exactly fits your autumn description, but oops, it's post-1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 452 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 It's not a Halloween-themed film, but 1983's Something Wicked This Way Comes is dripping with autumnal atmosphere. Gorgeous location shooting in Vermont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic Mr. Fox is beautiful in its color palette and atmosphere, exactly fits your autumn description, but oops, it's post-1995. I understand how you feel, but if i started a thread asking for recommendations of Goldsmith scores it means that you would suggest eg. Elfman scores?Or if you asked in a thread for suggestions of old classic films, and I reply: "The Dark Knight, The Avengers, X-Men first class", would you be OK with that?To ask for a specific thing it means I have my reasons and my criteria make sense to me.. (and i don't see it as so strict, asking for films of a 65 years timeframe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Your analogies aren't really the same. Strict in that you have a timeframe, and it can't be Halloween or Thanksgiving related and neither a thriller or horror film... And it has to be 80%+ set in autumn? Like what are you looking for and why? Films that meet your criteria don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,823 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 I guess I paid much attention to the characters, dialogue and music, than the actual setting.I have seen it 3 times I think, the last one totally paying attention to the music, writing notes about the themes used and timecodes.I do remember now a Thanksgiving dinner.

Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 For some reason, I've always associated the original Star Wars with autumn. No idea why. There isn't a single shot in the film that could be described as "autumn-y." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
