What’s better than the comeback of holiday drinks and wearing layers on layers in fall? New movies!
Summer always promises big blockbuster films, but you can expect some must-see movies this upcoming season. From love stories to mysterious thrillers, you’re bound to find a new favorite.
We’re def going to watch the list of movies below once it hits theaters:
The Light Between Oceans (September 2)
Tom and Isabel Sherbourne, the happily married lighthouse keepers, lose a child through miscarriage. However, they end up finding a baby in a rowboat that washed ashore. Tom is morally torn between reporting the lost child and letting his wife raise the baby as her own — he eventually chooses the latter. Life is swell with the family until they meet a woman who might be their child’s real mother. We’re excited to watch Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander in this drama.
Sully (September 9)
Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, played by Tom Hanks, became a national hero when he successfully landed a plane full of passengers in the Hudson River. Although all 155 people on board were safe, an investigation was conducted on the situation and delves into Sully’s past and psyche.
Snowden (September 16)
Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley, Snowden is based on the true story of the man who shocked the world by exposing illegal activities conducted by the NSA. The movie delves not only into the political and controversial side of Edward Snowden, but also into his personal life that most don’t know about. As Rotten Tomatoes noted, “the epic story of why he did it, who he left behind, and how he pulled it off makes for one of the most compelling films of the year.”
Goat (September 23)
Brad starts college after being assaulted the previous summer. Brad’s older brother Brett is already established in a fraternity, which Brad is desperate to join. In the name of brotherhood and the desire to feel accepted, the fraternity pledges are put through Hell Week – a rite of passage full of humiliation and torture. Goat offers a harsh and realistic view not only into fraternity hazing, but also male aggression as a whole. We’re def looking forward to Ben Schnetzer and Nick Jonas’ performance.
The Magnificent Seven (September 23)
First there was The Hateful Eight and The Ridiculous Six, and now comes The Magnificent Seven. This star-studded cast features Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Peter Sarsgaard, and many others. Rose Creek is a small Western town that is under the control of an evil industrialist, and the townspeople hire the help of seven outlaws to protect them and to fight back.
Masterminds (September 30)
If Ocean’s Eleven and The Hangover had a baby, Masterminds would be it. This action-comedy stars Zach Galifianakis, Kristen Wiig, Owen Wilson, Kate McKinnon, and Jason Sudeikis. David (Galifianakis), drives an armored vehicle and transports money on a daily basis. Kelly Campbell (Wiig) convinces David to join forces with other criminals to pull off a multi-million dollar heist. Once the group takes off with the money, they frame David to take the fall. On the run from the law and a bounty hunter, David fights to get back at the people who double-crossed him.
Doctor Strange (November 4)
Benedict Cumberbatch plays Marvel’s Stephen Strange, a former surgeon whose career is destroyed due to arrogance and conceit.

Bleed for This (November 4)
Miles Teller plays Vinny Pazienza, a New Jersey boxer who won two world title fights. After a terrible car accident, Vinny is left with a broken neck.
