The 7 best movies coming out in November that are worth your money to see in theaters

Call Me By Your Name Sundance Institute

Though there are more movies being released now than ever before in the business, less people are motivated to go to the theater to watch them.

With so many movies available on streaming, and TV technology making your living room rival your neighborhood multiplex, there’s more than enough reason to just sit back and enjoy at home.

But there’s still something special about going to the theater and experiencing a good movie on the big screen.

Here we highlight seven titles coming to theaters in November that we think are worth you spending your hard-earned cash on.

Note: Titles listed below as limited releases will likely expand to more cities throughout the month.

1. “Lady Bird” — November 3 (limited release)

Actress Greta Gerwig’s first solo directing effort is a semi-autobiographical, bittersweet look at her teenage years. Saoirse Ronan gives a perfect performance as Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson, a high school senior who can’t wait to escape her hometown of Sacramento, and the confines of Catholic school, and go off to college in New York. Through the year we journey with her on the highs and lows of teen life and her relationship with her mother (an Oscar-worthy performance by Laurie Metcalf).

There have been many great movies that have looked at teen life, and Gerwig has elevated the genre a beautiful balance of sincerity and deadpan comedy.

2. “Thor: Ragnarok” — November 3

The latest movie from Marvel Studios is a little different than the rest. Enlisting the talents of indie director Taika Waititi, the third movie in the Thor franchise focuses more on fun and the relationships of the characters than an impending doom (though there’s that, too). Chris Hemsworth has done great work playing Thor, but in this one you can just tell he finally was challenged to show off some of his acting skills.

3. “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” — November 10 (limited release)

It’s hard to mess up a movie that features Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, and Sam Rockwell. But with the writing-directing of Martin McDonagh (“In Bruges”), these talents are given material that even elevates their games.

McDormand plays a mother who is fed up with the lack of progress the local police force has made in solving her daughter’s murder, so she decides to motivate them a little by posting three huge billboards that call out the sheriff (Harrelson) specifically for failing her. With a extremely dark comedic tone, the movie explores loss and redemption.

Oh, and Rockwell’s performance is really, really special.
