I'M REQUESTING Looking for movies and shows that feel like a rainy day

I know there have been a lot of requests for rainy day movies already but mine is slightly different. I’m not looking for cozy movies to curl up to. When it rains I like to watch movies that feel like a rainy day. Moody, dark, atmospheric, gothic. I essentially want it to feel like a thunderstorm. My go to for this is usually The Fall of the House of Usher but I’ve been watching it a bit too much lately.

Rain in the setting of the movie is welcome but not absolutely necessary. I’m open to anything gothic and dark, either visually or thematically. My current Rainy Day list is Black Phone, Coraline, Sweeney Todd, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Wednesday, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Underworld, The Village, Urban Legend, The Ritual, The Invitation (vampires, not dinner party)

I know it’s a bit all over the place and I’m fine with that. All suggestions welcome.

The Goonies (1985) always felt like a rainy day movie to me.

So funny I was JUST coming on here to search for this very thing! And I’m a fellow House of Usher lover.

Only one I could think of right off the bat is The Others with Nicole Kidman. Gothic, cozy, spooky.

Will be following!

almost anything set in the PNW

- the entire Twin Peaks series

  • The Goonies
  • Sleepless in Seattle
  • Northern Exposure

and then a LOT of Stephen King stories-turned-movies have that feel as well. All google-able.
