20 Brand New Movies To Watch This Winter

New movies always add a little bit of magic to our everyday, which we definitely need after the holidays wrap up. We'll admit that after the shimmer of New Year's Day wears off, January can be a tough month to get through. It's cold, it's dreary, and there aren't a ton of holidays to look forward to before things begin to thaw in the Spring (except for Valentine's Day, which is a great excuse to eat all things chocolate).

From moving biopics to rom-coms that will give you butterflies, these films are set to make your winter a whole lot better. The best part is that some of them come out in December, which means you can watch them in between all your holiday movies. Keep reading for the new movies we're most excited for!
