Autumn is the time when you want to wrap yourself in a blanket and immerse yourself in stories that can warm the soul. But why not start this season with movies that transport the viewer to a world of bright sun, warm seas, and romantic adventures? The Styler editorial team has prepared a selection of sunny films from the last five years that are perfect for autumn evenings.
Endless Summer in Palm Springs
The movie "Groundhog Day" in a new interpretation is a story about two people stuck in a time loop. Nyles and Sarah, accidentally ending up at the same wedding in Palm Springs, start living the same day over and over again. Against the backdrop of the Californian sun, the heroes not only have fun but gradually rediscover each other. Behind the light comedy lies a deep story about how even endless repetition can change a person.
A Second Chance in Bali
George Clooney and Julia Roberts are together again — this time as former spouses forced to meet for the sake of their daughter. Their story unfolds on the tropical island of Bali, where the sea, sun, and local traditions force the heroes to rethink their relationship. This is not just a romantic comedy, but a story about a second chance, which is perfect for watching in a cozy company.
A Warm Story About Growing Up
The film "Domino" is an intimate and touching story about 22-year-old Andrew, who after college doesn't know what he wants from life. His meeting with 32-year-old Domino, a single mother, becomes a turning point. The age difference and life circumstances create tension, but it is precisely this that makes the story so alive and sincere. The film is perfect for a quiet evening when you don't want a loud comedy, but a warm story about people trying to understand themselves and each other.
First Steps into Adulthood
Based on the novel by Judy Blume, the film "Margaret" tells the story of a girl who moves with her mother from New York to the suburbs of New Jersey. There she awaits a new school, new friends, and the first anxieties associated with growing up. This is a light and warm movie about that special period when summer still seems endless, and adult life — something very distant.
Romantic Comedy in Australia
Bea and Ben meet by chance and immediately hit it off, but after an unsuccessful morning their sympathy turns into mutual animosity. Some time later they meet again — this time at a wedding in Australia. To avoid awkwardness and satisfy the expectations of relatives, the heroes decide to pretend to be a loving couple. Of course, staying together among Australian landscapes gradually complicates their game. This is the ideal option for those who love sunny romantic comedies.
Korean Story About First Love
Completing the selection is a Korean romantic drama that will especially appeal to fans of unhurried stories about first love. The main character, Yong-jun, after finishing his studies, still doesn't know what he wants to do, so he starts working as a courier in a family business. During one of the deliveries, he meets Yori and falls in love with her. The girl communicates with gestures, and Yong-jun tries to learn to better understand her world. Their relationship develops gradually through glances, gestures, and small manifestations of attention. This is exactly the option for an evening when you want quiet, beautiful, and warm cinema.
Contradictory Data
Some sources mention that the film "Margaret" is based on a novel by Judy Blume, however, other materials indicate that it is an original screenplay. There are also disagreements regarding the exact release year of some films in the selection, which may be due to different releases in different countries.
This selection of sunny films is a great way to start autumn with lightness and warmth. Regardless of whether you choose a romantic comedy or a touching drama, these films will help you feel that summer is not over yet.
