Fanboys Anonymous

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!

Without further ado, another new month means another new set of films, so what's coming soon to theaters in March 2019?

Which films make the cut?

6. Finding Steve McQueen — I haven't seen the trailer, but the premise alone is more interesting already than most of the other options.

5. Greta — You see, kids, never help someone out.

4. Hotel Mumbai — Generally speaking, give me a drama about something like this over any of the typical "harrowing story of 18th century candlemakers in Belgium" thing.

3. Captive State — Yooooo I don't really know what to think of this yet, but it looks interesting as hell.

2. Us — Get Out was good. This looks trippy. I'm sold.

1. Captain Marvel — Duh. It's the MCU. This series literally takes priority over everything nowadays.
