The 10 November 2025 Movies Everyone Will Be Talking About, Ranked

2025 has been kind of a flex. Leonardo DiCaprio did darkly funny with 'One Battle After Another,' the live-action 'How to Train Your Dragon' actually worked, and franchises that should be wheezing are somehow sprinting. And now November wants the last word. It’s stacked, chaotic, and absolutely built to wreck your watchlist. Here’s what’s hitting in November, ranked from intriguing to unmissable.

1. 10. Keeper (November 14, 2025)

   Director: Osgood Perkins (aka Oz Perkins) | Distributor: Neon

   Perkins has been on a heater in 2025, and 'Keeper' looks like his frostbitten capper: Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland in an icy, isolation spiral that feels like paranoia you can see. The teasers are all mood and no hand-holding — hazy frames, cryptic vibes, zero answers — which is exactly Perkins’ thing, especially after the gnarly detour of 'The Monkey.' Expect a slow-burn that makes you question every shadow in the room. Pro tip: maybe don’t watch it alone if the wind’s howling.

2. 9. A Very Jonas Christmas Movie (November 14, 2025)

   Director: Jessica Yu | Writers: Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger | Producer: 20th Television | Platform: Disney+

   Holiday chaos with the Jonas Brothers? You already know the vibe. Nick, Joe, and Kevin star, Chloe Bennet jumps in, and yes, there will be singing. This is engineered to be a warm mug of sugar — sibling needling, cozy set pieces, and a musical number that erupts mid-snowfall because of course it does. You can roll your eyes while you hit play. That’s the contract.

3. 8. Die, My Love (November 7, 2025)

   Director: Lynne Ramsay | Based on the novel by Ariana Harwicz | Distributor: Mubi

   Lynne Ramsay does domestic unrest like nobody else, and this one sounds brutal in the best way. Jennifer Lawrence plays a woman coming apart at the seams in the countryside, with Robert Pattinson as the husband trying (and probably failing) to hold things together. Ramsay isn’t here to comfort you; she’s here to put a hand on your chest and push. Raw, messy, and likely to haunt your Sunday afternoon.

4. 7. Hamnet (November 26, 2025)

   Director: Chloe Zhao | Producer: Neal Street Productions

   Get the tissues ready. Zhao’s take on grief inside Shakespeare’s home focuses on Agnes (Jessie Buckley, reportedly devastating) and her husband, William (Paul Mescal, also reportedly devastating), as they mourn their son. The ensemble — Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn, David Wilmot — is the opposite of a weak link. Zhao’s gentle, lyrical touch basically guarantees this will be an awards magnet and a soul-crusher. Consider your heart prepared. It won’t help.

5. 6. Jay Kelly (November 14, 2025)

   Director: Noah Baumbach | Distributor: Netflix

   George Clooney as a movie star wrestling with his legacy while charming the press? It’s so close to type that it loops back to inspired, especially with Baumbach calibrating the existential dread. Word is Adam Sandler steals scenes as the overworked manager — maybe the overdue gold after 'Uncut Gems' missed. With Laura Dern, Greta Gerwig, and Riley Keough in the mix, expect talky fireworks, sharp elbows, and Hollywood poking at its own reflection.

6. 5. Predator: Badlands (November 7, 2025)

   Director: Dan Trachtenberg | Studio: 20th Century Studios

   After 'Prey' restored faith, Trachtenberg swings big again: we’re off Earth to a distant planet where Elle Fanning plays an android who has to team up with, yes, a Predator to stay alive. Also, the story threads into the 'Alien' ecosystem via Weyland-Yutani, which is a very fun bit of franchise DNA stitching. Expect lean tension, ugly creatures, and a survival pairing that screams: it’s been a year.

7. 4. Now You See Me: Now You Don't (November 14, 2025)

   Director: Ruben Fleischer | Producer: Starz Entertainment

   The Horsemen return with new blood and old swagger. Jesse Eisenberg is back, joined by Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith, and Dominic Sessa, as the crew takes on a globe-spanning criminal network. These movies are proudly allergic to real-world logic and deeply committed to glossy spectacle, so plan for elaborate tricks, triple-crosses, and at least one set piece that prompts a 'wait, what?' out loud. If you keep up with every twist, congratulations on your secret second job.

8. 3. Zootopia 2 (November 26, 2025)

   Directors: Jared Bush and Byron Howard | Distributor: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

   Nine years later, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde clock in again, this time chasing a reptilian troublemaker named Gary DeSnake — voiced by Ke Huy Quan, which is just impeccable casting. Expect more fast gags, worldbuilding puns, and a sneaky emotional gut punch right when you least expect it. Returning voices include Idris Elba, Shakira, Quinta Brunson, and Jenny Slate. Yes, the sloth at the DMV is probably still on break.

9. 2. The Running Man (November 14, 2025)

   Director: Edgar Wright | Studio: Paramount Pictures | Based on the novel by Stephen King (as Richard Bachman)

   Edgar Wright taking a swing at King’s dystopia is a perfect marriage of style and sharp edges. Glen Powell stars as a contestant trying to survive a televised slaughterhouse of a game show, with Josh Brolin hosting the spectacle. Expect razor-cut editing, big satirical targets, and an uncomfortable mirror held up to a media-obsessed world. It should move like a freight train and hit like one too.

10. 1. Wicked: For Good (November 21, 2025)

    Director: Jon M. Chu | Studio: Universal Pictures

    The second half of Chu’s two-film Oz saga lands with all the glitter and grief. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande return as Elphaba and Glinda, belting their faces off amid eye-candy sets and feelings that arrive in tidal waves. The bench is deep — Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey — and the ending is inevitable in the way that still wrecks you. If your eyes don’t mist up at least once, check for straw.

Honorable context check: November’s slate sits on a year that already delivered variety — from DiCaprio’s pitch-black laugh lines to a dragon reboot that didn’t tank. The month itself mixes original swings, franchise revivals, a warm-and-fuzzy holiday play, and one very chilly cabin of doom. It’s a good problem to have.

What’s your day-one pick? I’m listening.
