Do you need movies to catch up on? We have made the list for you!
Here are 13 upcoming and newly released movies you will either love or argue about:
- Deep Water
A plane goes down in the middle of the Pacific. The survivors quickly realise sharks found the wreckage before help did. Aaron Eckhart is in it, so is Ben Kingsley. directed by Renny Harlin
This is a proper sit-down-and-hold-your-popcorn movie.
- Hokum
A dark, satirical comedy that promises to take aim at modern culture and intellectual pretense. It is deeply cynical and slightly unhinged. You’ll spend the rest of the night wondering if the movie was mocking society or specifically mocking you.
- In the Grey
Three people team up to take back a fortune from a ruthless dictator. Guy Ritchie directed it, so you already know the energy.
- Swapped
A small woodland creature and a large bird have hated each other their entire lives. Then one morning, they wake up in each other’s bodies. Now they have to save their home together. Neither of them is happy about it.
- Jack Ryan: Ghost War
Jack Ryan gets pulled back into a dangerous conspiracy he wants nothing to do with. John Krasinski is back, Wendell Pierce is back, and this time it’s a film instead of a series. It’s actually out now on Prime Video.
- Ladies First
A man who thinks very highly of himself wakes up in a world where women hold all the power and men are expected to sit down. Sacha Baron Cohen plays the man. Rosamund Pike is in it too.
It’s a comedy. A sharp one.
- Passenger
A couple drives away from a horrific accident on the highway. Something comes with them. Director André Øvredal made “The Autopsy of Jane Doe”, so this isn’t going to be gentle either. One of the more interesting horror setups of the year.
- Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu
Baby Yoda returning to theaters means the internet is about to lose all self-control again. The film officially releases May 22, 2026.
- The Backrooms
This might be the most internet-generated movie on this entire list. Turning creepy liminal-space lore into a real film sounds either genius or deeply cursed.
- Pressure
A WWII film about the meteorologists who had to decide whether the weather was right for D-Day. Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon, and Damian Lewis all in the same film.
This one deserves a proper cinema seat.
- Obsession
A guy breaks a wishing tree to win his crush’s heart. Gets exactly what he wanted. Then it gets dark. Very dark.
- Johnny Mnemonic
Corporations run everything. A plague is spreading and the cure is being suppressed. A man named Johnny carries the proof inside his head and has 24 hours to deliver it before his brain gives out. This film came out in 1995. It just landed on Netflix.
- Demolition Man 2
In 1996, they froze him for crimes he didn’t commit. In 2032, they woke him up because the future had gone soft and nobody else could handle what was coming, but now it’s happening again. Sylvester Stallone is back. Wesley Snipes might be too. Coming 2027, but consider this your early notice.
Now that you have a truckload of movies to add to your watchlist, which one of them deserves the first watch? Let’s hear you in the comment section.
