3.Turning Red
Set in Toronto in 2002, this tale of growing pains told through metaphor is unique, silly, and marvelously moving. It's great! The film follows Mei Lee, a 13-year-old girl torn between being her mother's perfect little angel and...well, being a 13-year-old girl. Having previously been one myself, I can truly say I've never seen a movie capture the pure chaotic weirdness that is being a teenage girl quite like this one. Like, just change 4*Town to My Chemical Romance, and Mei is teenage me.
Starring: Rosalie Chiang, Sandra Oh, Ava Morse, Hyein Park, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Orion Lee, Wai Ching Ho, Tristan Allerick Chen, and James Hong
When it premieres: March 11 on Disney+

4.The Adam Project
I have often thought of the things I'd tell my younger self if I had the chance: "Drink more water." "Mom's right about most things." "Don't date that bass player, he's going to give you a UTI." But never among those things was "Hey, let's save the world!" — which is exactly what this comedy explores. After accidentally catapulting himself to 2022, a time-traveling fighter pilot teams up with his younger self to save the future. Also...this cast, though.
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, Walker Scobell, Catherine Keener, and Zoe Saldaña
When it premieres: March 11 on Netflix

5.Umma
Sandra Oh...in a supernatural horror film?! Who's been reading my non-existent diary? This one follows a woman living on a farm whose life is turned upside-down when the remains of her estranged mother arrive from Korea and she is, quite literally, haunted by memories.
Starring: Sandra Oh, Fivel Stewart, Dermot Mulroney, Odeya Rush, MeeWha Alana Lee and Tom Yi

These people have a whole lot of kids. Maybe too many kids? And that's it, that's the movie.

7.X
A group of amateur filmmakers in the late '70s prepare to make an adult film in rural Texas, but the elderly couple hosting them aren't too pleased when they find out the true nature of their film. It's also an A24 horror film, so you already know you're in for something weird as all heck.
Starring: Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, Martin Henderson, Scott Mescudi, and Brittany Snow
When it premieres: March 18 in theaters

8.Love Like the Falling Petals

When it premieres: March 24 on Netflix
Watch the trailer here:
9.The Lost City
A reclusive romance-adventure novelist heads out on a book tour with her super-hunky cover model, but the two get more than they bargained for when the author is kidnapped, forcing the model to save her. This plot low-key reminds me of a modern day Romancing the Stone with the genres tweaked, so tbh, count me in.
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Brad Pitt.
When it premieres: March 25 in theaters
Watch the trailer here:
10.Everything Everywhere All At Once
In this sci-fi spectacular, Michelle Yeoh — an icon among us — plays Evelyn Wang, a woman suddenly confronted with every possible version of herself existing in a multiverse. Evelyn is summoned to aid in some sort of multiverse-related crisis, and she discovers she can utilize the abilities of every version of herself across time and space. We also get Jamie Lee Curtis — fellow icon living among us — in a role described only as "a villainous bureaucrat."
Starring: Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, Jenny Slate, Harry Shum Jr., James Hong, and Jamie Lee Curtis
When it premieres: March 25 in theaters
Watch the trailer here:
11.Moonshot
Doesn't this screenshot look like an edit of To All the Boys I Loved Before made by a fan who really wanted Cole Sprouse cast as Peter instead of Noah Centineo? No? Okay. Anyway, this sci-fi rom-com sees a chill barista attempt to sneak aboard a space shuttle headed to a colonized Mars with the help of a college student, who's on her way there to visit her boyfriend.
Starring: Cole Sprouse, Lana Condor, Mason Gooding, Emily Rudd, and Zach Braff
When it premieres: March 31 on HBO Max
Watch the trailer here:
12.Morbius
Vampires?! In the MCU?! Well...sort of. In a classic comic book scenario, biochemist Michael Morbius tries to cure himself of a disease, but it goes horribly, horribly wrong, resulting in him infecting himself with vampirism instead. You know, as one does.
Starring: Jared Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson
When it premieres: April 1 in theaters
Watch the trailer here:

When it premieres: April 1 in theaters

14.You Won't Be Alone
Another horror film! Sure, why not? This one's a period piece set in 19th century Macedonia, following a little girl who's kidnapped and transformed into a witch by an ancient spirit — which, already, sign me up.
Starring: Noomi Rapace, Anamaria Marinca, Alice Englert, Carloto Cotta, Félix Maritaud, and Sara Klimoska
When it premieres: April 1 in theaters
Watch the trailer here:
15.The Bubble
In the meta comedy to end all meta comedies, Judd Apatow parodies the Jurassic World Dominion filming process during COVID-19, which saw all of the actors living in a "bubble" to prevent the spread. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being Netflix's big April Fool's Day joke on all of us.
Starring: Karen Gillan, Iris Apatow, Fred Armisen, Maria Bakalova, David Duchovny, Keegan-Michael Key, Leslie Mann, Kate McKinnon, Pedro Pascal, and Peter Serafinowicz
When it premieres: April 1 on Netflix

When it premieres: April 8 in theaters
Watch the trailer here:
17.Ambulance
The movie that my friends and I keep referring to as "ambuLAnce" (seriously, the font design choice for this title killed us for some reason — we laughed so hard, we needed an ambulance) sees two very, very handsome men robbing banks in a Michael Bay–directed thriller. I'm sure it has a story, but like, I only have eyes for Yahya, so...
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Eiza González
When it premieres: April 8 in theaters
Watch the trailer here:
18.The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
In a film straight out of my actual dreams, Nic Cage plays a fictionalized version of Nic Cage. That's the plot. I know, I know, you're already clicking away to buy your tickets right now, I don't blame you — but please finish reading this post first.
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Pedro Pascal, Sharon Horgan, Ike Barinholtz, Alessandra Mastronardi, Jacob Scipio, Neil Patrick Harris, and Tiffany Haddish
When it premieres: April 22 in theaters
Watch the trailer here:
19.The Northman
Robert Eggers, the director of The Lighthouse and The Witch (or The VVitch, if you're nasty), is back! I like to imagine Eggers just went into the studio and pitched the sentence "Viking revenge story" and the studio heads were immediately like, "Do we have a Skarsgård available? Get one on the phone!" and that was the end of the conversation.
Starring: Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, Björk, and Willem Dafoe
When it premieres: April 22 in theaters
Watch the trailer here:
20.Operation Mincemeat
This drama depicts the events surrounding the World War II plan known as "Operation Mincemeat," which was an effort to keep the Allied invasion of Sicily a secret. This drama also boasts a positively marvelous cast.

When it premieres: April 22 in theaters

21.Along for the Ride
Based on the novel of the same name by Sarah Dessen, this drama follows two teens who meet the summer before college. Both insomniacs, they spend their summer nights adventuring together while the rest of the world sleeps.

22.Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
In a title that throughly sounds like an amusement park ride, the not-so-good Doctor is back at it again, this time battling the scariest thing imaginable: the consequences of his own actions! After accidentally opening the multiverse for Peter Parker (who?), Strange teams up with Wanda Maximoff in an attempt to set things right. Also, there will be a LOT of cameos in this.
Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Rachel McAdams
When it premieres: May 6 in theaters
Watch the trailer here:
23.Firestarter
A father gets more than he bargained for when his young daughter develops pyrokinesis — the psychic ability to set shit on fire (scientific definition). It's based on a Stephen King novel, so you already know it's going to give you all kinds of nightmares.

Starring: Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Maggie Smith, Michelle Dockery, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter, and Phyllis Logan
When it premieres: May 20 in theaters
Watch the trailer here:
26.Top Gun: Maverick
Maverick! Iceman! Small planes going zoom-zoom! I've never seen the original, but I assume it's about that? Anyway, this movie was supposed to come out back during the before times, and its release was delayed more times than I delay doing a simple task that would take me under 15 minutes, so it'll be awesome for fans to finally see it! Also, it comes out on my birthday!
Starring: Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Ed Harris, and Val Kilmer
When it premieres: May 27 in theaters

27.The Bob's Burgers Movie
The beloved Belchers finally have their very own feature film! After a ruptured water main creates a sinkhole right in front of Bob's Burgers, everyone's favorite family must figure out how to save their summer business. Similar to the above, this one was also delayed almost two full years, but now it's here, and it also comes out on my birthday! (Not that I'm expecting you to get me anything, we just met!)
