Grab a fun snack, a comfy blanket, and maybe a friend you can laugh or cry with, because these picks are too good to miss.
1. The Drama
If you think this is just a cute rom-com, think again. Starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, The Drama follows a seemingly perfect couple whose relationship completely unravels in the week leading up to their wedding after a shocking confession changes everything. What starts off light and romantic develops into a dark, uncomfortable, and chaotic exploration of love, secrets, and whether or not you can truly accept someone’s past. Zendaya and Robert Pattinson bring intense chemistry to the screen, making it impossible to look away, even when it gets messy.
2. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
Bright, colorful, and packed with nostalgia, this movie brings the Mushroom Kingdom to life in the best way. The story follows Mario as he’s pulled into a whole new world and teams up with familiar faces like Princess Peach and Luigi. Together, they take on Bowser, who’s threatening the kingdom with his usual chaos. Along the way, there’s a mix of action, humor, and classic game references that longtime fans will definitely recognize. Whether you grew up playing the games or are just in it for the laughs, it’s the ultimate feel-good pick for spring.
3. Reminders of Him
Heartwarming and all about second chances, this adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel follows Kenna, a young mother trying to rebuild her life after serving time in prison. When she returns home, she’s determined to reconnect with her daughter, but quickly realizes that earning back trust isn’t as simple as she hoped. As she navigates judgment from others and the mistakes she made in the past, an unexpected connection gives her a glimpse of faith, even when everything feels stacked against her.
4. Wuthering Heights
The 2026 adaptation of the novel unveils major star power with Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie leading the film. Their on-screen chemistry builds tension to the already complicated relationship at the center of the story. It starts with a deep childhood bond, but over time, it turns messy as jealousy, pride, and social expectations get in the way. This makes it both intense and hard to look away from. With Charli xcx involved in the project’s soundtrack, the film takes on a unique, slightly unexpected vibe that sets it apart from traditional period dramas. Her tracks lean into a darker, moodier sound that matches the intensity of the story and add another layer to the more chaotic and vulnerable moments between the characters. The combination of dramatic performances, striking visuals, and a modern twist allows this version to feel way more like a movie night pick and less like an English class assignment.
5. Send Help
Starring Dylan O’Brien and Rachel McAdams, this survival thriller brings together two very different characters who are forced to rely on each other after a plane crash leaves them stranded. Dylan O’Brien adds his usual anxious, fast-paced energy. Meanwhile, Rachel McAdams brings a more grounded, resilient presence, creating a dynamic that feels both tense and unpredictable. As their situation becomes more intense, so does their relationship, which makes the film just as much about trust and survival as it is about the external dangers around them.
No matter your vibe this spring, these movies have you covered. The only question is: which one are you watching first?
