The holiday season is seriously the greatest time of the year, and for good reasons. The weather gets colder, there is more time to be spent with your family, presents are given, and hot new films hit the theaters. All these reasons are splendid, marvelous even, but let's focus in on these highly anticipated films for just a few seconds.

Is it just me, or are movies just all around better during the months of November and December? Maybe it's because it gives us something to do on cold afternoons, or maybe its because our winter sweaters allow us to eat a large, extra buttery popcorn without feeling awful about ourselves. Whatever the reason may be, its undeniable that the movies released during the holiday season are always must sees. In an attempt to assist you before you embark on your journey to a hometown cinema, I have taken the liberty of compiling a list of some of the sure to be amazing movies coming out this holiday season. You're welcome.
