25 Movies To Look Forward To in 2016

Evergreen Movie 2016 Lists about 8 years agoby Ben Pearson

There was a time when 2015 looked to be a year that would have massive implications on the Hollywood system of blockbuster filmmaking. There were so many huge movies scheduled in the same year that there was talk about how potentially epic flops could bring a studio to its knees and maybe allow for a shift away from the $200-400 million movies that are churned out every year. But enough films were shuffled around on the calendar where that didn't happen, so life — and Hollywood — goes on.

Looking ahead to 2016, it doesn't seem to me like there are any of the same "the sky is falling" proclamations as there were for 2015. But that doesn't mean there aren't any major blockbusters waiting to happen. Like always, there will be a selection of smaller movies that'll come out next year that I've never heard of that will likely blow me away. I have my fingers crossed for something with the quality of Whiplash or Bone Tomahawk, but we'll have to wait and see what happens. In the meantime, I've put together this list of 25 movies scheduled to come out next year that readers can get excited about, and while most of them are the mainstream titles we've known about for a year or two already, I've tried to add a couple of smaller movies in the mix, too. Click each title to find out more, and let us know which ones you're looking forward to the most in the comments below.
