16 Must-See Movies of October 2025

You’re probably asking, “Why is this paywalled?” Paid subscribers are the backbone of The Film Maven and becoming one shows support for independent journalism, as well as female- and disabled-created content.

If you want to read the full story consider becoming a paid-subscriber. Becoming a paid subscriber gives you access to The Trade, my examination and exploration of topics in the entertainment industry, my Popcorn Disability articles on disabled representation in film, and chat with me on our exclusive Discord server.

Enjoy what you’re reading? Share it with friends. Help us get to 1,000 subscribers by the end of 2025 and I’ll do a full written and video review of Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis.

Read more about the history of disability in film by pre-ordering my upcoming book, Popcorn Disabilities: The Highs and Lows of Disabled Representation in the Movies. I not only expand on what you’re reading here, but examine the stereotypes, tropes, and the good, bad (and really ugly) of disabled movies. Preorder the book by clicking this link! Send me proof of your preorder and I’ll give you a paid subscription to The Film Maven for one year!

If you're looking for something other than seeing One Battle After Another again I have several possibilities for ya below. Most of the sixteen titles I've included I've already seen--with coverage forthcoming--because, "Hey, Oscars season."

So let's strap in and look through some of the movies worth getting excited about this month.
