Welcome to another edition of 6 Flicks Picks, wherein I list all of the upcoming films that are scheduled to be released in the United States for the month which is about to begin and break down which ones I'll be watching in theaters, which ones I'll wait to rent at home, and which ones I'll be skipping out on entirely. After going through the list, I'll choose which six films stand out to me as the ones I want to see the most, even if there are more or less than six that interest me.

Note: The list below is based primarily off the expanded nationwide USA release dates on IMDB as well as some other random outlets if possible, so some information may be different. If I am missing some of the limited releases or the dates conflict in some fashion, please let me know in the comments below and any adjustments and corrections will be made!

Which films make the cut?

6. A Ghost Story — This looks like the most oddball movie of the month and I've always been interested in ghosts, so since I don't have any stronger options to take it out of the running, why not, right?

5. Atomic Blonde — Admittedly, I think this is trying a bit too hard, but it does still look kind of cool. I like the spy genre and the trailer did enough to make me go "yeah, sure" at least as far as picking six films this month would go.

4. War for the Planet of the Apes — I'm ashamed to say I haven't yet watched the previous two films, although I did see the original and Tim Burton's awful remake, and bits and pieces of the old sequels. This new trilogy looks so good and I really want to sit down and watch Rise and Dawn before seeing this one.

3. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planet — I feel like this is going to tank at the box office, but I'm going to try to see it anyway. The visuals alone are cool and I know nothing about the source material, so this could be an interesting sci-fi film that comes under the radar and turns into a very enjoyable new series. I'm not so pumped about it to make it a guarantee I'll check it out, or to start reading the books or anything beforehand, but I'll give it a shot. At the very least, when it comes out to rent, I'll watch it.

2. Dunkirk — I was disappointed in Interstellar but we're still talking about Christopher Nolan here. Even though this particular story isn't something I care about, and he fell short of expectations with The Dark Knight Rises, he's still responsible for Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Memento and Inception so he gets a pass until his filmography starts becoming an uneven ratio. For the record, The Prestige and Insomnia are just kind of meh like Interstellar. Four awesome movies, four that didn't live up to the hype but were still okay, and no "bad" ones.

1. Spider-Man: Homecoming — Fuck. Yes. I'm so worried about a few of the choices they've made with characters like how Flash Thompson is totally not Flash Thompson and such, but this is Spider-Man we're talking about, which is my #2 favorite superhero of all time. I bought 16 tickets for this immediately when I could in May.
