1) Rams
Brimming with dry humor and beautiful imagery, this
Icelandic film and Cannes festival standout tells the story of two
estranged brothers—both sheep farmers—who band together against the
authorities when they face the risk of losing their flocks.
2) All Roads Lead to Rome
Sarah Jessica Parker stars in this sweet comedy about a
single mother trying to reconnect with her daughter on a trip to Italy that
soon turns into an adventurous chase with a former fling.
3) Hail, Caesar!
This Coen brothers film boasts a star-studded cast and an
uncanny plot: a Hollywood fixer (Josh Brolin) has a big case on his hands when
a major movie star (George Clooney) gets kidnapped for ransom. Scarlet
Johansson, Jonah Hill, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and Channing Tatum also
star in this picture, set during Hollywood's Golden Age.
4) Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Jane Austen's romantic classic gets a
terrifying makeover in this adaptation of Seth
Grahame-Smith's 2009 novel of the same title. Lily James stars as Elizabeth
Bennet, a sword-wielding martial arts pro rather than a dainty damsel, and
according to the trailer, Game of Thrones' Lena Heady
makes an appearance, too.
5) Regression
Though released internationally last fall, this psychological
thriller finally hits U.S. theaters in February. Set in 1990, the
film stars Ethan Hawke as a detective on a mysterious case revolving
around a teen (Emma Watson) who was sexually abused by her
father.
6) Southbound
In this indie horror film, five different stories find
common ground as their characters all meet their darkest fears on the
same deserted highway.
7) Deadpool
This long-awaited action film tells the story of Wade
Wilson, a special forces agent who undergoes an experimental
procedure to cure his cancer. As a result, he's left with superhuman
abilities and a very dark sense of humor. Ryan Reynolds stars as
the bad-mouthed antihero.
8) Glassland
In this highly acclaimed Irish drama, Jack Reynor stars as
John, a young man moonlighting as a taxi driver who takes on a
questionable side job to pay for his alcoholic mother's (Toni
Collette) expensive rehab program.
9) How to Be Single
Dakota Johnson puts aside the steaminess of Fifty
Shades of Grey for a lighter take on romance. Also starring Rebel
Wilson, Leslie Mann, and Alison Brie, this rom-com puts a spin on the
narrative of being young and single in New York City.
10) Nina Forever
This indie favorite made waves after premiering in the
U.S. at South by Southwest in 2015. Rob (Cian Barry) feels broken after
his girlfriend Nina (Fiona O'Shaughnessy) dies in a car accident. When he falls
in love with a co-worker named Holly (Abigail Hardingham), Nina comes back to
life and taunts them, but only at the most inconvenient times. The
movie's catchphrase, "A f*cked up fairytale," is a fitting one.
