31 Movies You Can't Miss This Fall

The lineup of fall 2021 movies is here, and I’m happy to announce that it’s stacked. Yes, even with everything going on in the world, Hollywood is still determined to keep us entertained. I, for one, am very grateful for it. 

For starters, we've got Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet teaming up in Dune and the long, long-awaited James Bond installation No Time to Die—and those are just the films leftover from last year's schedule. Some you may have heard less about? Last Night In Soho starring Anya Taylor-Joy and the Marvel epic Eternals, directed by Chloé Zhao, are both promising to blow your mind.

And while most studios are moving back to releasing films exclusively in theaters, you can still see some of these new autumn movies from the comfort of your own home. We’ve specified which will be released via a streaming platform, theatrically, or on-demand, and we’ll update this post if that changes.

Mark your calendars—and happy moviegoing. Below, the best fall movies coming to some sort of screen near you this year.

Marvel's first movie with a primarily Asian cast already has fans buzzing after an exciting trailer caught the Internet's attention. Kim's Convenience star Simu Liu plays a Kung Fu master protecting the streets of San Francisco alongside Awkwafina and Michelle Yeoh in undisclosed roles. Expect the fight choreo to be epic. In theaters for 45 days before dropping on Disney+.

Filmed amid the pandemic, We Need to Do Something is a horror film that follows a family that's stuck in a bathroom during a hurricane. In theaters.

Hollywood legend Paul Schrader wrote and directed this intense drama about a former inmate who taught himself to cheat at poker while in jail. Oscar Isaac leads the cast as the player with a troubled past, and it looks like Willem Dafoe is his lawman enemy. With Tye Sheridan as his protégé and Tiffany Haddish as his lover/partner-in-crime, expect intensity galore. In theaters.

You'll have a lot of options when it comes to Fall movies on Netflix this year, but action fans should especially make time for this one.

If you love cozy movies that warm your heart, this is the one for you. Coming to Amazon Prime Video.

Michael Myers certainly looked dead at the end of 2018's Halloween, Danny McBride and David Gordon Green's reboot of the franchise first directed by John Carpenter.

Wes Anderson brings his typical exacting style to this story about love, war, and newspapers, printed, of course, in black and white, just like the news itself.

Newly minted Oscar darling Chloé Zhao takes on the Marvel epic in this tale of immortal beings who…sat around for decades and watched the Avengers do their job for them.

After the 2016 all-women reboot of the Ghostbusters franchise failed to launch anything but controversy, Hollywood is trying a new tack: dial back the comedy, up the nostalgia. Directed by original Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman's son Jason (he also did Up In The Air, that chuckle-fest), Afterlife seems to follow descendants of an original GB crew member as they start over in a new town and, well, discover the car. You can imagine how things go from there: ghooOOoosts! In theaters.
