16 Films to See in October
Updated 7:23pm to remove Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which has been delayed to a November 10 release date.
A large percentage of each year's best films open in the fall months, and this October looks likely to continue that trend, with multiple 90+ releases as well as notable new features from Todd Haynes, Yorgos Lanthimos, Noah Baumbach, Ruben Östlund, and Agnès Varda. In recent years, October has also been the month to launch smart but crowd-pleasing sci-fi fare. Following in the footsteps of Gravity, The Martian, and Arrival this year is the long-awaited Blade Runner 2049, which is already earning rave reviews.
Get the scoop on these and other top October films (including a few Netflix exclusives) in our gallery below.
Earning the best Metascore at the Cannes Film Festival (and winning the Golden Eye for best documentary among the official festival selections), this documentary by 89-year-old director Agnes Varda (The Beaches of Agnes, The Gleaners & I) and 33-year-old photo-muralist J.R. captures their collaborative energy as they roam the French countryside in J.R.’s photographic van taking pictures of working-class locals and displaying the gigantic images on houses, barns, walls and trains.
