Kate Hudson, Madelyn Cline, Daniel Craig, and Janelle Monae are just a few of the well-known actors who appear in the highly anticipated Knives Out sequel. Benoit Blanc as played by Craig this time travels to Greece to investigate the latest whodunit. Although there isn't a trailer yet, if it's half as convoluted as the first movie, it will undoubtedly become another success.

#2 I Like Movies

With her first project, I Like Movies, Toronto filmmaker Chandler Levack makes her directorial debut. It's a humorous coming-of-age story that's full of nods to Canadian cinema. The main character of the story is Lawrence, a teenager who loves movies and aspires to attend NYU. However, he argues with his mother and his best friend as he makes his student short film and works part-time at the neighborhood video store (this movie is set in the 2000s).

The main actors in this LGBT love story about police officers are Harry Styles and Emma Corrin. A museum curator named Patrick (played by David Dawson) and a cop named Tom fall in love in the 1950s, a time when they were persecuted for their relationship. Styles plays Tom in the film. Although Styles' character marries Corrin's Marion, his romance with Patrick doesn't come to a stop there.

This highly anticipated movie, starring Viola Davis, is based on the historical story of the 1800s all-female military regiment known as the Agojie. The warriors are responsible for guarding the Kingdom of Dahomey against invaders and other kingdoms, under the leadership of Davis' character Nanisca. The story follows Nawi, played by upcoming actress Thuso Mbedu, as she learns to battle and joins the warriors.

#5 Triangle of Sadness

This movie, which centers on wealthy, privileged people doing badly, will be much anticipated by fans of The White Lotus. The satirical film, which stars Woody Harrelson, Harris Dickinson from Where the Crawdads Sing, and Charlbi Dean Kriek, who just passed away last August, make fun of the cruise ship business and some of the negative aspects of leading a posh lifestyle. Since the movie has already won the renowned Palme d'Or, moviegoers are sure to love it and it may even win an Oscar the following year.
