Here Are The Best Movies Of 2026 (So Far) That You Should Watch This Weekend

1 hour ago 3

Today is Friday, which means you might have a little wiggle room to watch a movie or two. But with so many films to choose from, it might be hard to find the right one for you and your needs. To help, we gathered what we consider the 10 best movies of 2026 (so far!), from comedies to horrors to tearjerkers, along with some Letterboxd reviews to give you a peek at what people think of each film.

Review #1: "the definition of 'accidentally became important at work and it’s ruining my life.'"

Review #2: "you tell me that rocky is an almost 300 year old engineer with a thriving marriage but i still see a baby that i would take a bullet for."

2. The Odyssey, starring Matt Damon, Himesh Patel, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong'o, and Zendaya.

Review #1: "Staggering. A near three-hour epic that somehow feels closer to two. Constantly engaging on a visual level, while remaining thought-provoking and narratively complex in classic Nolan fashion. There are two fairly terrifying sequences that lead me to believe Nolan will one day deliver on his desire to make a horror movie. See it big. See it loud. And maybe we'll start seeing more films like this made, because we sure as hell need them."

Review #2: "Interstellar is about a father who leaves his family to save the world. The Odyssey is about a father who returns home to save his family. somehow both movies are about getting back to anne hathaway."

3. Blue Heron, starring Eylul Guven, Iringó Réti, Ádám Tompa, and Edik Beddoes.

Review #1: "so hard to understand how memory actually works -- incredible to see a movie depict that trickiness so well."

Review #2: "When I saw this at TIFF last year I said that it made me cry at one point. Well on this second viewing I was a weepy mess from basically beginning to end. My mind’s made up, this is a five-bagger. The shards of this very specific story can hit just about everyone. The stubborn immovability of the past. The powerless feeling of being a kid and experiencing the currents of unsettlement your parents’ world. The feeling of having never really known someone. The awful feeling of love not being enough."

4. The Invite, starring Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton.

Review #1: "watch with your divorced mom for the 4D experience."

Review #2: "the dinner party episode of The Office on crack (complimentary)."

5. Obsession, starring Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, and Megan Lawless.

Review #1: "a sad and perfect analogy of how men literally push you into 'madness,' and then judge and blame you for being 'crazy.'”

Review #2: "absolutely nothing can prepare you for inde navarrette’s performance."

6. Is God Is, starring Kara Young, Mallori Johnson, Vivica A. Fox, and Sterling K. Brown.

Review #1: "Wow. Kara Young is a STAR. Casting Sterling K. Brown, who often plays characters with deep moral authority, as the villain is such an inspired choice. Black women’s rage being played straight and not for laughs or shame is so refreshing to see. I’m all for more films that centers our justified rage and shows us acting out instead of internalizing it so we can be considered 'good women.' Here for Black women being the complicated antiheroes for once!!"

Review #2: "i knew it was Sterling K. Brown the second that man turned around😏🍑."

7. The Drama, starring Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Alana Haim, and Mamoudou Athie.

Review #1: "I know charlie’s r/AmITheAsshole post went crazy."

Review #2: "Girl there were studio audience sitcom level gasps going on in the theatre... The drama indeed!"

8. Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, starring Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol.

Review #1: "how on earth did they make this lol."

Review #2: "Comedy masterpiece. There’s a gag related to THE HANGOVER that might be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen."

9. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, starring Ralph Fiennes, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Williams, and Erin Kellyman.

Review #1: "it's very easy to confuse an orange-skinned old man with satan tbh i do it daily."

Review #2: "Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell having a full on diva off."

10. The Sheep Detectives, starring Hugh Jackman, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, Bryan Cranston, and Molly Gordon.

Review #1: "if you asked me a week ago if i thought i’d burst into tears at the end of a movie called The Sheep Detectives i would have laughed in your face."

Review #2: "Significantly better than the trailers made it look. Surprise of the year for me, so damn heartfelt and funny. I hope there's some good Officer Derry x Elliot Matthews yaoi fics."

So, tell me: Do you agree with this list? Plan to watch any of these movies this weekend? Want to add a certain film to this list? Tell us in the comments below:
