… and you want to go off the beaten path: The Dead Don’t Die (June 14)

Just as his Only Lovers Left Alivewasn't your typical vampire romance, Jim Jarmusch's The Dead Don't Dielooks like no ordinary zombie flick. That's a good thing. Adam Driver, Bill Murray, and Chloë Sevigny play a trio of small-town cops facing an undead uprising with help from a sword-wielding Scottish morgue worker played by Tilda Swinton. Um, yes please.

… and you've got plenty of tissues handy: The Farewell (July 12)

The Farewellis all about a lie: A family conspires to hide from their beloved matriarch the fact that she is dying of cancer, so as to spare her the sorrow. Yet what shines about this movie is how honest and authentic it feels -- in its cultural details, in its layered emotions, in its complicated family dynamics. It'll make you laugh a lot, but it'll make you weep, too, and you'll walk out impressed all over again by Awkwafina's chops.

… and you were a Disney Renaissance kid: The Lion King (July 19)

It may be literally impossible not to feel moved by the trailers for The Lion Kingremake, which push the nostalgia buttons even harder than the Beauty and the Beasttrailers did, and which trot out a series of extremely cute animals to boot. But this one's got some fresh additions going for it, too, like an A-list cast that includes Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Beyoncé Mother Effing Knowles-Carter.

… and you'd never miss a Tarantino: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (July 26)

You either like Quentin Tarantino or you don't, and by this point, you probably know either way. If you area fan, this star-studded take on Hollywood history should be right in your wheelhouse. Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt play an actor and his stunt double, who are struggling to navigate a complicated industry right around the same time Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) would have her deadly encounter with Charles Manson (Damon Herriman).

… and Hereditary was extremely your shit: Midsommar (August 9)

Don't ask us to explain what's going on here, because we couldn't begin to guess. What we doknow is that Hereditaryscared the living daylights out of us, and that we're haunted by it still. Therefore, we will absolutely be signing up for whatever Hereditarydirector Ari Aster has coming up next -- which so happens to be this creepy-looking cult pic.

This concludes our 2019 summer movie preview. Go back to find out what to watch if...
