Gravity (10/4/13)
Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in Alfonso Cuaron's sci-fi thriller as astronauts stranded during a spacewalk after their shuttle gets hit by a piece of debris.
Parkland (10/4/13)
I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to cast Zac Efron, but everything else makes this seem like an interesting and thought provoking look at an event that is still controversial fifty years later.
Captain Phillips (10/11/13)
The first of Tom Hanks' Oscar contenders, based on the true story of Richard Phillips, captain of the MV Maersk Alabama which was hijacked by Somali pirates in 2009.
Kill Your Darlings (10/16/13)
Daniel Radcliffe. What more do you need?

Steve McQueen (the British one)'s third collaboration with Michael Fassbender, this time taking on slavery via the true story of Solomon Northup, a free black man from New York who was abducted and sold into slavery.
Carrie (10/18/13)
Remaking a classic is sometimes blasphemous, but I'm definitely interested in seeing Chloë Grace Moretz as Carrie White.
The Fifth Estate (10/18/13)
Another based-on-a-true-story, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Blue is the Warmest Color (10/25/13)
It won the Palme d'Or, but you might have a hard time finding a theater that will play it, considering its NC-17 rating.
The Counselor (10/25/13)
Michael Fassbender's second release this month, this time in Ridley Scott's drug trafficking thriller. Also starring Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Cameron Diaz, and Penelope Cruz.
Which new releases are you most excited to see in October?
