There's nothing like fall movies to get us in the mood for cozy season. The aesthetics of orange, red, and yellow leaves (as well as plots about friends and family) give us an instant mood boost. Meg Ryan is one of our favorite leading ladies, and while she just returned to the screen in 2023 for What Happens Later, we're getting ready to celebrate the anniversary of MY favorite Meg Ryan movie: When Harry Met Sally.

The iconic rom-com turns 35 on July 21, and in honor of the milestone, we rounded up our go-to Meg Ryan movies that will give you ALL the fall feels (as well as some of her other best hits). We also spoke with Kristin Marguerite Doidge, the author of Nora Ephron: A Biography, for a look into the director's vision when it came to bringing these stories to life. Grab your favorite fuzzy socks, an Apple Crisp Macchiato, and bookmark these titles for your next movie marathon.

When Harry Met Sally — Rent on Amazon Prime

When Harry Met Sally

Castle Rock Entertainment/MGM

This iconic Meg Ryan movie features Ryan and Billy Crystal as the namesake duo. Wrestling with the idea of whether men and women can just be friends, the 12-year story took seven drafts for Ephron to feel like Harry and Sally's relationship was developed enough for audiences.

We love common tropes like slow burns and friends-to-lovers, but we also love the fact that Ephron switched up the common rom-com expectations by using Harry's cynicism (instead of an outside obstacle) as the driving force behind keeping the couple apart.

According to Doidge, while the aesthetic of the film can be credited to director Rob Reiner, Ephron's screenplay is such a big part of the movie's DNA that it's connected to every aspect of the film: "From the stunning fall leaves in Central Park to Meg’s iconic chocolate brown bowler hat, [it’s] become known as a 'Nora' movie."

There's something special about watching these friends-turned-lovers help each other through the ups and downs of life, and with details like Ryan's iconic white sweater and walking through the foliage in Central Park, we get excited for fall as soon as the opener starts playing.

Sleepless In Seattle — Stream on Max

TriStar Pictures

Sleepless In Seattle takes us on a journey around the country when widower Sam's (Tom Hanks) son Jonah reveals Sam's quest for love to the world via talk radio. Annie (Ryan) hears the show and decides to write Sam and ask him to meet her at the top of the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day. Even though the movie takes place after the new year, the romantic and family themes of the plot give us those same cozy feelings.
Sleepless feels very intimate because of Ephron's down-to-earth approach to telling the story. Ephron was incredibly detailed with character interactions, like when Sam realizes that Annie peels an apple just like his late wife. It's those small points in the film that make the characters feel relatable, even if we've never been in their specific scenario before.
"What’s the detail you remember about someone who leaves?” executive producer Lynda Obst says in the biography. “It’s the touching detail that you’ll never see again — it is touching, but it has no sentiment. It has uniqueness, texture, smell.”
The layered clothing and rainy setting add an aesthetic touch that's perfect for fall, but it's really the will-they-won't-they back-and-forth that makes us root for the couple. From Sam's reluctance to meet Annie to when their eyes meet from afar, we as the audience see how easy it is to almost miss your chance with someone — and how important that chance is in the first place.

You've Got Mail — Rent on Prime Video

Warner Bros. Pictures

If you ask us, You've Got Mail might have the best fall vibes of all of Meg Ryan's movies. A cozy bookstore on the Upper West Side and plenty of sweaters, coffee, and pastries? Count us in. Ryan's Kathleen is pen pals with Tom Hanks' Joe, even though neither of them realizes they're real-world competitors.

"When you see You’ve Got Mail, you’re seeing Nora,” cinematographer John Lindley says in the biography. “What you’re seeing is her outlook on life, which is to be happy and embrace change.”

In an age of texting and swiping, being pen pals with someone feels like a classic take on romance that's extra swoon-worthy. The dreams and stubbornness of the leads make us root for them, and knowing their unknown feelings for one another makes this romance all the sweeter. Not to mention that it takes place in a bookstore, which is one location that will always make us feel at ease.

What Happens Later — Stream on Hulu with SHOWTIME

Bleecker Street

Willa and Bill aren't expecting to see each other at the airport — or to realize they're still attracted to each other. (They also still annoy each other, but that's less important). When a snowstorm rolls in and their flights are cancelled, Willa and Bill are left alone at the airport with nothing but their pasts, a witty airport announcer, and fate to keep them company.

MIRAMAX

"What [Ephron] may not have anticipated is just how [fragmented] and divisive sections of America would become," Doidge writes. "Is that part of what makes her particular brand of optimism so appealing in this current moment? Possibly." When we're anxious or feeling sad, films like these offer us some light. We know that even though the characters go through realistic and difficult times in their lives, things turn out all right in the end.

These Meg Ryan movies are a great way to get you in the mood for fall. While we're still months away from carving pumpkins or gathering around the table for Friendsgiving, it's never too early for a cup of tea and a candle to set the scene.

    'Snow White' Review: “Radiant” Rachel Zegler Shines In Disney’s Better-Than-The Original Remake

    Rachel Zegler’s Snow White is living in a world of wishes. At least, according to the Evil Queen (Gal Gadot). You see, the king is missing and the Evil Queen has turned the kingdom into a place of isolation and distress under the guise of strength. She forces Snow White to be a servant in her own home and criticizes the princess’ literal well wishes as frivolity and cowardice.

    But while the 1937 Snow White proposes that your wish will come true if you hear it echo, Rachel’s Snow doesn't just listen to the echoes — she uses them to propel her forward.

    Disney's 2025 Snow Whiteis one of the best live-action remakes yet thanks to Rachel Zegler and Andrew Burnap.

    Rachel Zegler's Snow White is more inspirational than ever.

    Walt Disney Studios

    In the standout ballad “Waiting on a Wish," Snow White wonders “is it almost someday?” as she confronts the exhaustion and weary hope of waiting for a day of peace she’s not sure will ever come. Snow knows her father can set everything right, but struggles to believe she’s as “fearless, brave, fair, and true” as he is, even if she knows her true identity is a future queen.

    Throughout the course of the movie, she finally comes to believe it’s up to her to change the fact the Evil Queen has “poisoned everyone into believing it’s everyone for themselves.” It’s that echo from the wishing well that provides an undercurrent to this new story — Snow White is waiting, but she’s actively waiting.

    We are, after all, living in a post ‘90s-princess world, where our canon includes Belle daydreaming about a life outside her village and Mulan taking destiny into her own hands. Rachel Zegler’s Snow White isn’t just dreaming of a different life, she’s dreaming about actually changing her life, and becoming the boldest, truest version of herself.

    This shift proves Disney movies are no longer purely about celebrating an original story’s beauty or providing comfort; they’re a call to action. Whether that shift is a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen, but I walked out of the theater feeling better than I did walking in.

    Walt Disney Studios

    Despite Disney’s OG princess getting a couple contemporary updates, the integrity of the character remains intact because the updates aren’t harsh or biting. The character doesn’t steer into one-dimensional territory where she’s only obsessed with true love or only obsessed with reclaiming the kingdom. Snow White doesn’t let anyone step all over her, but none of her sweetness is sacrificed for shock value, and that combination of firm and bold kindness inspires change in others.

    Whether it’s offering comfort or literally saving someone’s life, Snow White actually shows up for people. And the butterfly effect of her actions culminate in a true, old fashioned showdown between Snow White and the Queen. Snow White’s return to the palace — as princess and not servant — moves the townspeople to sing her parents’ old song, in turn giving her the confidence to claim she’s “everything [she was] wishing and waiting for.”

    'Snow White' is the kind of nostalgic Disney movie we haven't seen in years.

    Walt Disney Studios

    Erin Cressida Wilson's script feels like the kind of sweet Disney story we all love, with emotional beats, pacing, and humor that had me reminiscing on titles like Tangled, Miramax's Ella Enchanted, and the first season of Once Upon a Time on ABC.

    Director Marc Webb reframes the original cartoon’s theme of waking up in a really remarkable way because outside the literal poison apple of it all, after Snow White challenges the Queen, she reminds the soldiers of their true identities to wake them up and reclaim the palace.

    Snow also ties the idea of waking up with falling in love, because contrary to internet chatter, the live-action Snow White does actually have a love story. And it’s one that had me literally giggling. Rachel Zegler and Andrew Burnap’s fun banter quickly morphs into butterfly-inducing stares and smaller, quiet moments every romance fan will love. And yes, they do address the kissing-without-consent issue a lot of Disney viewers have with the original cartoon.

    The fleshed-out love story as well as added subplots about Dopey’s inability to speak and Snow White’s desire to make her father proud — plus a truly gorgeous score from Jeff Morrow — add so much nuance and emotion to the iconic story that people in my theater gasped and applauded throughout the third act.

    Rachel Zegler is a true shining star.

    Walt Disney Studios

    Rachel Zegler is radiant as Snow White, and her performance makes the whole film shine. I’ve said for years that her voice solidifies her as a generational talent, but her expressions and awareness of the world around her truly set her apart. Not to mention the fact the film itself is a gorgeous, textured visual display that made me forget I was in a movie theater. And I could talk forever about the animated woodland animals!

    The movie features songs from the original like “Whistle While You Work” (and if you listen closely, you can hear Rachel humming a few notes of “Someday My Prince Will Come” during a key scene), but the movie also adds some new songs from Justin Paul and Benj Pasek that join the ranks of great Disney music — especially “Waiting on a Wish” and “A Hand Meets A Hand,” which they co-wrote with Lizzy McAlpine.

    But Gal Gadot's performance leaves something to be desired.

    Walt Disney Studios

    Compared to Rachel Zegler’s stellar performance, Gal Gadot’s role as the Evil Queen left me wanting more, especially when it comes to her big number “All Is Fair,” which I wish I'd heard from a Broadway diva. The character’s obsession with her physical beauty in and of itself also feels thin and outdated compared to the depth the new story offers Snow White. (The beginning of the movie does mention the Queen’s beauty is the source of magical power, but it’s so brief I forgot about it until my second watch).

    And while I found the animated Seven Dwarves charming (and their story brought me to tears), I still don’t understand the decision to animate the characters rather than casting seven actors with dwarfism.

    Walt Disney Studios

    Overall, Disney’s live-action Snow White is a heartfelt film that inspires audiences to not just dream of redemption, but to actually make changes that better the world around them. Because Snow White will always be kind, but she’s not whispering anymore.

    Your "Fiery" Weekly Horoscope For March 23-30 Is In!

    Your weekly horoscope encourages a journey inward this week. As Mercury and Venus both move retrograde through the watery sign of Pisces, the cosmos invites you to spend time in quiet reflection. Allow music to be your guide as you explore your emotional landscape and connect with the spiritual side of life. This is a powerful time to tap into the energy of universal love and gain profound understanding. While the potential for delusion exists, focusing on introspection can lead to valuable wisdom and compassion that will resurface when these planets turn direct.

    Yaroslava Borz

    The Sun in Aries brings movement and action. Use this fiery energy to motivate and propel yourself forward. It is a good time to start a new project or incorporate a new element into your life that brings light-heartedness and joy. Take advantage of the longer days and focus on making efficient progress toward a new venture. Make room for play and rest.

    On March 29th, we have a New Moon and a partial lunar eclipse in Aries. Let’s remember that Aries embodies both the god of war and the exuberance of spring. During the New Moon, go inward and let the dark sky inspire you to emulate the energy of spring as you plant your seeds of intention. Let the potent double Aries energy of the Sun and Moon work synergistically to infuse creativity and act as a catalyst for growth on all levels.

    Alexey Demidov

    Over the next couple of months, major shifts will occur with the outer, so-called generational planets. Neptune has spent the last 14 years in its ruling sign of Pisces. What have you been dreaming about during these years? Have you been drawn to the mystical side of life? Have you been able to break generational patterns related to substance abuse or escapism? Your awareness of these issues can help you move away from the less helpful aspects of Pisces and toward the inspirational. On March 30, Neptune begins its forward movement into Aries. Then, on October 22, 2025, Neptune makes one last retrograde into Pisces before settling back into Aries on January 26, 2026, for the next 13 years. This energy allows us to remember the lessons of the past 14 years, incorporate the wisdom gained, and move forward to act on our dreams and inspirations. This phase is an integration of our higher and lower selves.

    8 "Unique" Celebrity Baby Names That Are Super...Interesting!

    When it comes to naming their children, celebrities don't really follow trends — they create them. Hollywood's A-listers have a knack for choosing baby names that spark conversation, from whimsical and unconventional to more timeless and elegant picks.

    These star-powered selections also have the ability to set the stage for the next big baby-naming trend. So, here are some of the most memorable and unique celebrity baby names that have captured the world's attention.

    Scroll to see all the unique celebrity baby names we love...and loathe.

    1. Paloma

    Campbell "Pookie" Puckett and her husband, Jett Puckett, have taken the social media world by storm with their seemingly picture-perfect romance and lavish lifestyle.

    In November 2024, the influencer couple welcomed their daughter, Paloma, into the world after creating a lot of anticipatory hype surrounding their name choice.

    Paloma has Spanish and Italian roots and is derived from Latin. It means "dove," in addition to "pigeon" and "butterfly." Those familiar with Greek mythology may recognize doves as symbols of Aphrodite, the goddess of love.

    2. Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett

    Jason Kelce, who spent 13 years playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, and his wife, Kylie Kelce, faced some backlash for the gender-neutral names they chose for their three daughters.

    However, gender-neutral monikers are more popular than ever before. And now that the couple has a fourth daughter on the way, they reportedly plan to continue the name trend in their family.

    3. Riot

    Rihanna and A$AP Rocky made waves in 2023 when they named their second child Riot. The bold, unconventional pick fits right in with the couple's trend of sticking to "R" names, as Rihanna's full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, and A$AP Rocky's is Rakim Athelaston Mayers.

    Beyond its personal significance, the name Riot carries a strong, rebellious energy. It definitely reflects both artists' fearless approach when it comes to both music and fashion.

    4. Winnie

    When Jimmy Fallon and his wife, Nancy Juvonen, had their first daughter in 2013, they chose a somewhat unique name with a lot of personal meaning: Winnie. Welsh in origin, it means "gentle friend" or "friend of peace."

    Specifically for the couple, though, it's a tribute to Lake Winnipesaukee, the picturesque New Hampshire lake where they got engaged. Plus, Jimmy added the name made even more sense since they viewed Winnie as a "win" in their life.

    5. Grace Warrior

    Everyone remembers Steve Irwin as the fearless "Crocodile Hunter" who tragically died in late 2006. More recently, his daughter, Bindi Irwin, welcomed a little girl of her own into the world in 2021 and named her Grace Warrior.

    While Grace may be a more common name, meaning "favor" or "blessing," Warrior was a more unusual choice with a sentimental intent.

    "Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior," Bindi shared on Instagram.

    6. River Rose and Remington

    Kelly Clarkson and her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, chose two distinctive names for their girl and boy: River Rose, born in 2014, and Remington Alexander, born in 2016.

    With British roots and a whimsical feel, River is a gender-neutral pick that means "a flowing body of water." It was traditionally used more frequently for boys, but Kelly changed that trend.

    Meanwhile, Remington is also British in origin and started as a surname, translating to "settlement by the boundary stream." Perhaps Kelly chose this sibling combination because both River and Remington begin with "R" and have connections to water.

    7. Elsie Otter

    When Zooey Deschanel and her then-husband Jacob Pechenik had their daughter in 2015, they chose a name that was both classic and quirky: Elsie Otter.

    While Elsie is a timeless choice of Hebrew origin, which means "pledged to God," the addition of Otter gives it a more playful twist. During an appearance on TODAY, Zooey explained their reasoning behind it.

    "We just really liked the name Elsie, and then we both love otters because they're so sweet and also smart," she detailed.

    "They use tools, they keep their favorite tools, they hold hands while they sleep; there are so many amazing things about otters. They're wonderful animals."

    8. Luai

    Finally, in 2023, Lindsay Lohan and her husband, Bader Shammas, named their Dubai-born son Luai. It's Arabic in origin and means "protector" or "shield," but it remains a rare pick in the U.S.

    Luay, a more common variation of this name, was only given to eight boys born in the U.S. in 2022.
