  • When it comes out: Nov. 7
  • Watch the trailer for Interstellar.

The Theory of Everything

  • Who's starring: Eddie Redmayne plays astrophysicist Stephen Hawking and Felicity Jones is his first wife, Jane.
  • Why you should be interested: This isn't just for science-lovers; it's for romantics, too, as the trailer gives equal focus to Hawking's relationship as it does his legendary career.
  • When it comes out: Nov. 7
  • Watch the trailer for The Theory of Everything.

Dumb and Dumber To

Dumb and Dumber To

  • Who's starring: Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprise their roles as Lloyd and Harry in this long-awaited sequel.
  • Why you should be interested: It's been 20 years since the classic comedy premiered, and whether a sequel was necessary or not, you have to see what Lloyd and Harry get up to now.
  • When it comes out: Nov. 14
  • Watch the trailer for Dumb and Dumber To.
4 / 19

Foxcatcher

Foxcatcher

  • Who's starring: Channing Tatum plays wrestler Mark Schultz, Steve Carell plays his benefactor John du Pont, and Mark Ruffalo plays David, Mark's brother.
  • Why you should be interested: The real-life story is chilling (du Pont murdered David Schultz), but the trailer is even more so. Also, Tatum and Carell got rave reviews for their acting at this year's spate of film festivals.
  • When it comes out: Nov. 14
  • Watch the trailer for Foxcatcher.
5 / 19

Mockingjay

Mockingjay

  • Who's starring: Jennifer Lawrence reprises her role as Katniss, along with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Julianne Moore as President Alma Coin.
  • Why you should be interested: This is the end of The Hunger Games series (well, sort of; it's part one of the end, anyway)! To refresh you, it's when the revolution against the Capitol finally takes place and Katniss steps forward as the face of the movement. You can't miss it!
  • When it comes out: Nov. 21
  • Watch the trailer for Mockingjay.
6 / 19

The Imitation Game

The Imitation Game

  • Who's starring: Benedict Cumberbatch plays Alan Turing, a WWII code breaker, and Keira Knightley plays a colleague.
  • Why you should be interested: If you're not Cumberbatch's biggest fan, this movie might convince you; he has the perfect skillset to charm you while convincing you he's the smartest man in the room (which the real Turing may have been; he cracked the German Enigma to help the Allies win the war).
  • When it comes out: Nov. 21
  • Watch the trailer for The Imitation Game.
7 / 19

Horrible Bosses 2

Horrible Bosses 2

  • Who's starring: Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, and Jason Bateman reprise their roles as men tortured by their bosses. Chris Pine and Christoph Waltz join the cast as the new bosses.
  • Why you should be interested: The first movie was hilarious (remember Day singing "That's Not My Name"?), plus it's wise bringing back the characters of Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Aniston.
  • When it comes out: Nov. 28
  • Watch the trailer for Horrible Bosses 2.
8 / 19

Wild

Wild
Image Source: Searchlight Pictures
  • Who's starring: Reese Witherspoon plays Cheryl Strayed in the film based on her memoir of the same name.
  • Why you should be interested: Strayed's book can destroy you emotionally; there's no telling to how much more heartbreaking it will be played out on the big screen. And with her journey along the Pacific Crest Trail, the visuals should be incredible.
  • When it comes out: Dec. 5
  • Watch the trailer for Wild.

Inherent Vice

Inherent Vice
Image Source: Warner Bros.
  • Who's starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Reese Witherspoon, and Maya Rudolph comprise the ensemble cast.
  • Why you should be interested: Director Paul Thomas Anderson (The Master) is one of today's best directors, and his movies tend to be intense, which is fitting for this '70s crime story based on a Thomas Pynchon novel.
  • When it comes out: Dec. 12
  • Watch the trailer for Inherent Vice.
11 / 19

Exodus: Gods and Kings

Exodus: Gods and Kings

  • Who's starring: Christian Bale is Moses and Joel Edgerton plays the Pharaoh Ramses.
  • Why you should be interested: Bale is the draw here, especially since his version of Moses is, well, really good-looking. And director Ridley Scott knows a thing or two about delivering an epic.
  • When it comes out: Dec. 12
  • Watch the trailer for Exodus: Gods and Kings.
12 / 19

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

  • Who's starring: Martin Freeman reprises his role as Bilbo, along with returning stars Luke Evans and Orlando Bloom.

Annie

  • Who's starring: Quvenzhané Wallis stars as Annie, Cameron Diaz is Miss Hannigan, and Jamie Foxx is Benjamin Stacks.
  • Why you should be interested: The reboot of the classic story looks like a lot of fun (and we could always use a reminder that the sun will come out tomorrow).
  • When it comes out: Dec. 19
  • Watch the trailer for Annie.
15 / 19

Big Eyes

Big Eyes
Image Source: The Weinstein Company
  • Who's starring: Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz play real-life married couple and painters Margaret and Walter Keane.
  • Why you should be interested: This true story is already compelling; Margaret painted the famous "big eyes" paintings popular in the '50s, but her husband Walter got the credit. And the biggest draw is iconic director Tim Burton.
  • When it comes out: Dec. 25
  • Watch the trailer for Big Eyes.
16 / 19

The Interview

The Interview
Image Source: Sony Pictures
  • Who's starring: James Franco plays a journalist sent to interview (and assassinate) North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, and Seth Rogen plays his producer.
  • Why you should be interested: Well, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a real person, and the movie is already ruffling feathers politically. We're curious to see how far these guys go.
  • When it comes out: Dec. 25
  • Watch the trailer for The Interview.
17 / 19

Unbroken

Unbroken
Image Source: Universal Pictures
  • Who's starring: Jack O'Connell plays WWII soldier and POW Louis Zamperini in this true story.
  • Why you should be interested: Angelina Jolie is directing, and Zamperini's story is truly an inspiration (he was an Olympic runner prior to joining the army). He also recently passed away, so this should be all the more poignant.
  • When it comes out: Dec. 25
  • Watch the trailer for Unbroken.
18 / 19

Into the Woods

Into the Woods

  • Who's starring: Meryl Streep is The Witch, Emily Blunt is The Baker's Wife, James Corden is the Baker, and Johnny Depp is The Wolf.
  • Why you should be interested: This isn't the first Broadway hit director Rob Marshall has brought to the big screen, and the first teaser we saw already looked incredible.
  • When it comes out: Dec. 25
  • Watch the trailer for Into the Woods.
