It’s that time of the year when the sun sets sooner, the leaves begin to fall, and the fall cinema lineups start to roll in for the beloved moviegoers (and home movie-streamers). Movies are very special to us as a collective because stories give us an opportunity to imagine, explore, and experience different things. They allow you to laugh and to cry or to see cool animations and action scenes on screen. Even better, they grant you the chance to see your favorite actors in a new role or in an anticipated sequel. Whatever it is that you like, this fall is sure to provide something that you want to watch that will cover your chosen movie genre—whether it be comedy, drama, romcoms, action, or horror. The fall is coming in hot with some really great movies on Netflix and in theaters featuring Black actors that you love to support on the big screen.
