-series with autumn backgrounds thats not halloween

-movies autumnal background:
-foxes remind me of autumn
-november autumn / dark academia vibe:
fantastic beats and where to find them - no nature just buildings so cant have autumnal background, but is gloomy in colors (not theme) looks raining or have just rained,and everyones in long coats. one scene ina shopping store you see a santa and trees. november + december gloomy vibe.
-Eddie is lovely and absolutely perfect for this role. This movie brings a little magic to these gloomy months, and coincides as it has a perfect gloomy atmosphere and it always looks like it's about to rain, coupled with everyone in coats
-
trains planes and Automobiles (trying to get home for Thanksgiving. cant bc Some snowstorm. November vibe)
