Here's our film writer, Mike Shaw's Top 5 for the year:

Nobody - February 26

Bob Odenkirk channels Michael Douglas in Falling Down, in this action-thriller from the creators of Hardcore Henry and John Wick.

The Many Saints of Newark - March 12

A prequel to the greatest TV show ever (The Sopranos), set in 1967 and focusing on the early years of gangster Tony Soprano.

Death on the Nile - September 17

Kenneth Branagh returns as Hercule Poirot in this follow-up to 2017's Murder on the Orient Express. Branagh also directs this adaptation of the 1937 Agatha Christie novel.

Mission Impossible 7 - November 19

Tom Cruise is back as superspy Ethan Hunt. The Cruiser hasn't yet made a misstep in his Mission Impossible films and this seventh outing promises to maintain the high standard we're used to.

The Matrix 4 - December 22

The Matrix was groundbreaking when it was released in 1999, and changed the way filmmakers approach action movies from then on. Will The Matrix 4 manage to do the same, 20+ years later? It's worth finding out. At the very least, Keanu Reeves is back as Neo.
