Hey guys. It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time to gush over books, tv shows, movies…basically anything fangirl-worthy! This week’s topic made by the girls over at The Broke and the Bookish was a freebie, so I thought I’d share my most-anticipated 2016 big-screen releases. The ones I’m dying to get to theaters so I can spend all my money on tickets, candy, and popcorn. 😛 This list is not in order of most-anticipated or anything — totally random. 🙂 Also, this doesn’t really count as top “ten”, but whatever. I really couldn’t knock it down to anything less. 😉 So anyways, here are my Top 2016 Movies I’ll Be Going to the Theaters to See!
- ALLEGIANT Trailer | IMDB
Aghhhh! I have a love/hate (but mostly hate…) relationship with the Allegiant book, but I can’t deny my love for this movie series!! Shailene is PERFECT as Tris Prior and omg…I don’t mean to sound like a teeny-bopper fangirl, but FOUR!!! *insert hearts here* - THE 5TH WAVE Trailer | IMDB
I literally JUST started this book two days ago, though it’s been on my shelf for months now. I’m not totally loving the story, but the writing is pretty amazing. My dad is taking my sister and I to see the movie tonight, so fingers crossed I can finish the book by then! - PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES Trailer | IMDB
I’m not sure if I should be totally wanting to see this, BUT I AM. Based on a parody novel by Seth Grahame-Smith, you have to admit this will at least be interesting! I love anything Pride & Prejudice, and if it has a Darcy (it does) I am SO IN. I can overlook some zombies for that…no matter how much judgment I get from my disapproving sisters. 😀 - CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Trailer | IMDB
I’m not UBER excited for this or anything, because I’m not sure how I feel about this whole Avengers-divided thing. I mean, didn’t we already go through something similar in Age of Ultron and Agents of SHIELD?? But, it’s Marvel. So I’ll be seeing some Captain A and Iron Man action very soon. 😉 - THE FINEST HOURS Trailer | IMDB
Super interested in this “based on a true story” movie! This is another book-to-screen adaption…hmm…I see a pattern?! Haha. Coast guard action and sweet young love story played by Chris Pine and Holliday Grainger. Yes, please. - MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 2 Trailer | IMDB
EEEEEEEKKK!! I am SOSOSOSO happy there is a sequel for the greatest, funniest, bestest (IMO) comedy movie of all time!!! I don’t even have the words to tell you how excited I am to see this one…can March be here, like, now?! - BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Trailer | IMDB
Again, not so interested in the heroes/team divided story arc, but I have to see DC Comics upcoming movie! I really liked Man of Steel, and though I haven’t seen all the Batman movies (just the first) I’m interested to see how Ben Affleck fills the role. Plus, I admit — the trailer looks epic. We shall see, we shall see. 😉 - MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN Trailer | IMDB
From the creators of Heaven is for Real comes another inspirational film about family and God and miracles from above. I think it releases around Easter, and I know my whole family and I will be wanting to check out this one for sure. And, lookie!!! Jennifer Garner and the cute guy who played Darcy in Bride & Prejudice!! - THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER’S WAR Trailer | IMDB
I enjoyed the first Huntsman movie (despite it’s darker-than-the-usual-fairytale outlook) and, though I’ll miss Kristen Stewart as Snow, I am very much looking forward to this Huntsman sequel/prequel. Plus I am a big fan of Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain, so those character additions are exciting. - PASSENGERS Trailer | IMDB
You might think this is a funny addition to my list, since there are no pictures and basically no info on this movie, other than the fact that it is filming and will release Christmas 2016. BUT JENNIFER LAWRENCE AND CHRIS PRATT. *squeals* I am a die-hard fan of both actors, so this definitely tops the list of movies I’m anticipating!!! Plus, it’s a SCI-FI! Yay. - JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK Trailer | IMDB
I have such good memories of watching the first Jack Reacher movie with my grandpa and grandma. We kinda had to persuade my gramps into watching a LOT of movies, and this is the first one that he watched and actually said, “THAT was a good movie.” It makes me laugh, to think back on how many movies we convinced him and my gram to stay over and see. Looking forward to seeing this sequel, though I wish more than anything that I could watch it with my grandpa. - THE LEGEND OF TARZAN Trailer | IMDB
I’ve not seen the trailer for this (is it even out?? not sure) but I loved the animated Tarzan movies as a kid so this is a MUST. Any live-action adaptions of Disney movies are a must, really. Can’t wait!! - INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE Trailer | IMDB
I really have no clue, I mean NO IDEA, what this one is about. I know that this is a sequel (or remake) of an older movie of the same name, but other than that? Nada. All I know is that Liam Hemsworth is in it and it’s an action, so yeah. I’ll be watching. LOL. - X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Trailer | IMDB
Oooo!!! Another Marvel movie to fangirl over! Have really been enjoying the more recent X-Men movies, though I didn’t really like the franchise in the past. But they definitely keep getting better and better! Plus I so want to see JLaw join the good side again. 🙂 - UNTITLED BOURNE SEQUEL Trailer | IMDB
Another “weird” addition from me, perhaps, but really. How could I NOT include an upcoming Bourne movie?! Especially when Matt Damon, the original Bourne, is a part of it!! I am beyond excited!!! These movies are some of my all-time faves. - STAR TREK BEYOND Trailer | IMDB
This was a super last minute addition (like, I just made this image a second ago) but I couldn’t resist. The last Star Trek movie was so good and I know I’m going to like this one as well!
And, that’s a wrap! (finally) Thanks for wading through this [extra long] Top Ten Tuesday list with me!! Now, it’s YOUR turn! What are some of your most-anticipated 2016 movie releases? Which movies will you definitely be seeing in theaters? Do we have any in common? Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by Will Bake for Books! ♥
All of these movies are definitely MUST SEES for us. (Especially Civil War, Passengers, and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!!!) Also, the descriptions for Allegiant and Civil War was PERFECT lol. Can’t wait to see 5th Wave tonight! <3 Love u
You’re cute, sis. 🙂 And YES! Must sees. 😛
The Batman vs Superman one seems like is going to be awful, but I hope you enjoy it more than the trailers I have seen!

Haha, you’re funny Missie! I don’t know if I’ll like it, but it’s DC Comics so I know I just have to try it! I do hope it’s better than it sounds too. 😉 Thanks so much for coming by my blog! 🙂
I can’t wait to see so many of these, especially The 5th Wave and Captain America: Civil War, but honestly alot of these looks good. Hope you enjoy them all!
My TTT
Hey Alice! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m headed to yours as soon as I finish writing this. 🙂 YES! I saw The 5th Wave yesterday and thought it was ok, but still enjoyed it. I haven’t finished reading the book, so that could’ve influenced my opinion. Civil War is a must see! Anything Marvel really. 😉 There are just too many good-looking movies coming out this year. 🙂 Thanks again for coming by!
I love going to movies and I can’t wait to see most of these, especially Pride and Prejudice and Zombies! I’ve already seen the 5th Wave, so I can check that one of my list. I’d heard bad reviews on it, so my expectations were really low. Maybe that’s why I thought it was okay. Not amazing, but not terrible.
Hi Katherine! Me. Too. Though I like going to the movies a little too much, I think. 😉 Pride and Prejudice and Zombies looks promising – definitely will be checking it out next week! I hope you enjoy it. 🙂 Oh, wow, same here! I had heard pretty bad reviews as well and thought it was okay. I have a feeling that the books could get really good though.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!! And thanks again for the Twitter love – I really appreciate it. I’m looking forward to the date when your lovely book releases and I can share, share, share! 🙂
I hadn’t known there was a Big Fat Greek Wedding sequel. I’ll undoubtedly see that one, as the original is one of my wife’s favorites. One some of our visits to Toronto, where it was filmed and where two of our sons live, she’s dragged me around town trying to find the locations of various scenes. Here’s my TTT.
Yes, isn’t it exciting?! That’s one of my favorite movies as well. Oh, so fun!! That’s hilarious – I’d probably do the same if I ever visit Toronto. 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and commenting! Headed to see your TTT now. 🙂
I’m really looking forward to the Bourne sequel and the new Star Trek. I’d also like to see Allegiant. Tarzan and Huntsman look good too and not just because of the gorgeous men in them…though that it definitely a perk ;). I have to say though, at this point I’m getting a bit bored with the Avengers sequels. I wish they would space them out a bit more. I’ll probably see Finest Hours just to make fun of Hollywood’s atrocious Boston accents. 🙂
Hey Kate! Yay! *high five* It’s too fun to see how many good-looking movies are coming out. ‘Bourne’ and ‘Star Trek’ are two of my tops as well. And YES! Hehe, those are most definite perks! 😉 Oh my gosh, same here. The ‘Avengers’ movies (and Marvel in general, really…) needs some help in the writing department. But I’m still a fan. 🙂 I’ll probably be seeing ‘Finest Hours’ this week…hope it’s as good as it seems. I did notice those accents were funny in the trailer… haha! Anyways, hope you get to see and enjoy all these mentioned ’16 movies! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. 🙂
HOW DID I MISS THIS POST!?
Ahhh! So many good movies coming this year.
I hope P+P+Z is/was good. I didn’t get to it, but am probably going to “blind buy” it because, um, it looks too cool. 😉
Matt as Bourne returning guarantees a theater trip, and I too really liked Tom Cruise’s “Jack Reacher.” Glad a sequel happened. Also, any and all Marvel or DC Comic movies, and I’m in! Or at least I am for those you featured. 🙂
Fabulous list, Bekah.
Haha, glad you stopped by! 😉 Aren’t there?! And now I have like, three more movies to add to this already-large list. *facepalm* Hmmm, I thought P&P&Z was interesting yet funny, and I know a bunch of people who loved it. YES!!! I am TOO excited for the next Bourne! I am getting myself prepared by re-watching the first four films. Ugh, I’m a little annoyed with Marvel lately (*cough*deadpool*cough*) and their upcoming R-rated releases…but there’s no way I’m missing Civil War and Apocalypse.
Thanks so much for the fun stop, Rissi! Movies are so much fun to gush over. 🙂
