Now that the seasons have officially changed—forget the leaves, modern-day signs include pumpkin-spice everything and the spontaneous generation of Halloween candy aisles in chain drugstores—it's time to start stocking up on streaming options for crisp autumn days.

Netflix has released its list of titles coming in October, as well as those rotating off the platform throughout the month. There are iconic films from the 1960s (Breakfast at Tiffany's), the 1980s (Ferris Bueller's Day Off) and the 1990s (Titanic), plus a slew of Netflix original content, including new series (The Ranch, Haters Back Off and Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories), documentaries (Ava DuVernay's The 13th and Werner Herzog's Into the Inferno), films (The Siege of Jadotville and Mascots) and standup comedy specials (from comedians such as Russell Peters).
