15 Films to See in December

The force is strong with this month: The final weeks of 2015 could bring some of the year's best movies. At the very least, December will feature new releases from directors such as David O. Russell, Quentin Tarantino, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Ron Howard, Spike Lee, Michael Moore, and Charlie Kaufman.

Oh, and there's a little something called The Force Awakens, though if you are hearing about it from us for the very first time, congratulations on awakening from your coma.
