"Fall is the perfect time to treat yourself to a movie night at home. As the days get shorter and the nights get chillier, there's no better way to unwind than pressing 'play' on a film or two. If you're in the mood to expand your cultural horizons, then picking an indie movie is a surefire bet to explore artistry, storytelling, and a director's singular point of view from the comfort of your couch. Defined as movies that came outside of the traditional Hollywood studio system, indie films can range from the small-budget thrillers to award-winning hits. Depending on who you ask, movies that came from the powerhouse studio A24, for example, are technically independent films — which is why we've included them in this roundup of 30 independent films to add to your to-watch list. Whether you're seeking a nostalgic meditation on romance, a funny and heartwarming Oscar-winner, or a thought-provoking drama, this list will have a movie for your every mood." - harpersbazaar.com
