Cottagecore Aesthetic Movies & TV Shows

I was thinking today of all the movies & TV shows I’ve grown up watching and which influenced me in the love of not just cottagecore but all things vintage – including farm, country, fairy, gnomes, depression-era, Victorian, Edwardian, regency, and other by-gone styles. I know it’s a romanticized way of looking at history and all the arguments against it – I am speaking strictly in the aesthetic style of things, not the way of living so let’s please keep this in perspective?

I’ve worked on a list of these movies/tv shows and wanted to share them with you here. Maybe you’ve seen some or all, or maybe you’ll find one you would want to watch and escape into a lovely world for a little while.
