  2. You Can See Everything2026Nathan Fielder spends 34 days with Elizabeth Holmes and builds a hall of mirrors out of them, as funny as it is haunting.
  3. Primetime2026Robert Pattinson's uncanny Chris Hansen carries a queasy, gorgeous fever dream that looks harder at To Catch a Predator than it thinks about it.
  4. Project Hail Mary2026A big, warm, expensively imagined space rescue that leans hard on Ryan Gosling's charm and gets away with it.
  5. Disclosure Day2026Spielberg goes back to the skies at seventy nine and finds, in Emily Blunt, the best reason he has had in years to believe.
  6. Hoppers2026Pixar's funniest film in a decade, about a girl in a robot beaver who accidentally starts a revolution, and the jokes are only half of it.
  7. The Invite2026Olivia Wilde's four-hander about a stale marriage and the swingers upstairs is a properly adult comedy, very funny until a third act that stumbles.

  9. Tuner2026Leo Woodall's hypersensitive piano tuner turned safecracker makes a warm, funny caper out of a premise that gets sillier the harder it leans on the crime.
  10. Resident Evil (2026)2026Zach Cregger strips the franchise down to one courier's night run to a hospital, and it is the first Resident Evil film that feels like playing the games.
