Cozy '90s Movies to Get Comfy With This Fall

As fall arrives, a roundup highlights “cozy” ’90s movies that match the season’s urge to get comfortable with sweaters, dim lights, and comfort-food viewing. The list leans on nostalgia and mood—whether the “cozy” feeling means childhood favorites, a romantic comedy, or an atmospheric thriller. Titles include Practical Magic (1998), starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock as witches in a fictional New England setting; You’ve Got Mail (1998), with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in a New York bookstore-versus-big-box story; and When Harry Met Sally (1989), added as a near-’90s pick for its iconic New York scenes. Also featured are Cinderella (1997) with Brandy and Whitney Houston, and Dead Poets Society (1989).
