Fall is a time for sweaters, pumpkin picking, and snuggling up to new movies that could definitely score at least a 60% on Rotten Tomatoes-which moviegoers know is the real deal. Below are a few of those movies that would be worth the eleven-dollar ticket (excluding snack costs because why pay for snacks when you can just pick some up from the C-store) and provide another option of going-out-fun besides attending a sweaty frat party.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay-Part 2- November 20, 2015Yes, Katniss is still fighting the man. The Hunger Games director has decided to take a Twilight/Harry Potter twist on The Hunger Games series by dividing the last film into two parts. Without trying to give too much away for those who didn’t read the series, this is the part where, “what lies ahead are mortal traps, dangerous enemies and moral choices that will ultimately determine the future of millions.” So if you’re in to moral dilemmas and Josh Hutcherson, then this is the movie for you.
