I love going to the movies. There's something about driving to the theater, reclining with some popcorn and escaping reality for a bit. With the holiday season dwindling to a close, you're probably looking for some flicks to check out. Below are some of the most popular movies on the big screen right now you might want to see.

Will Smith stars as a successful New York advertising executive who suffers from a tragedy in the film.

2. Why Him?

Bryan Cranston stars as Ned, a caring but somewhat overprotective father who travels to California to visit his daughter Stephanie, played by Zoey Deutch, at Stanford University.
