Now that the back-to-school rush has settled down, the weather is changing and pumpkin spice is being sprinkled in the coffee rotation, let’s embrace fall. We can also embrace all of the exciting new movies and TV shows coming to Netflix in October. Here, TheWrap breaks down which ones you shouldn’t miss, and a few things you need to re-watch before they leave.
Coming October 1: “I Love You, Man”
Bet you didn’t realize how much you’d like to watch this movie again until we told you it’s coming to Netflix next month. Starring Paul Rudd, Jason Segel and Rashida Jones, “I Love You, Man” gave us classic one-liners like “totes mcgotes” and “bro Montana.”
Coming October 6: “The Life and Death of Marsha P. Johnson”
One of the 1960’s biggest LGBT rights icons, Marsha P. Johnson’s body was found in the Hudson River in 1992. Police ruled it a suicide and didn’t investigate. David France’s documentary follows trans activist Victoria Cruz in a search for the truth.

The latest from Noah Baumbach, “The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)” features Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller alongside Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson in a dysfunctional New York family saga.
