Halloween Month (2026)

It’s spooky season again. I get why so many people love Halloween; it’s the perfect opportunity to indulge in the creepy and the macabre. It’s not my favorite. I’m just not into scary movies and the dark and sinister. I don’t mind watching the occasional freaky film, and you will see that in this year’s list.

This year’s selections will still include some classics, which are now on rotation. There are too many to include, and there wouldn’t be room to watch something different. The classic selections this year are …

I’m making a change. February used to be Drama Month, but it’s now going to be Awards Month. September is now Drama Month, and martial arts movies will now be part of action/adventure or an option for November. The theme for Drama Month will be crime dramas.

Spoiler alert: I really enjoyed all the films I picked. There are some that I’ve wanted to go back and watch and several that I’ve been itching to see. There are also several special event movies in September.

Mystery Month (2026)

It’s Mystery Month, and just like last year, I chose random mystery movies with no particular theme in mind. Unlike last year, I do not regret any of my choices for this year.

I guess I lied a little bit. While there isn’t a particular theme, I did make sure to pick mystery movies that span a few decades, going as far back as 1963. There are so many really great movies from that era. If you’ve never checked out older movies, I encourage you to go watch a few. Pick any Audrey Hepburn or Cary Grant movie.

Action-Adventure Month (2026) – Mission: Impossible

For Action-Adventure Month in 2026, I decided to watch all eight Mission: Impossible movies. It’s been a while since I watched the first few, and I’ve never seen all of them. Actually, I haven’t seen any of them since Ghost Protocol. I feel like I was under the impression that when they added Simon Pegg to the cast, they changed the films’ mood because he’s a comedian.

I was wrong to assume that. Simon Pegg isn’t just a comedy actor; he’s great in drama and action. In fact, by the end of the eighth film, Benji becomes one of my favorite characters (Luther being my first). Obviously, Benji and Luther’s technical prowess is probably one of the qualities that endears them to me. It’s Luther’s nerdy confidence and willingness to die for his team that makes him my favorite character.

Super Hero Month (2026) – DCEU

Last year, I did the original Superman films, so this year I decided to go back to DC. June’s selections are movies from the DCEU before James Gunn took over. I didn’t watch every film that makes up the DCEU, but I picked the majority. I left out the movies I’d seen most recently and tried to include the ones I hadn’t seen yet.

DC has been struggling to match the success the MCU had during the Infinity Saga. It seems they always struggled to keep things in sync and maintain an engaging story. It really sucks because all of these movies had the proper build-up and post-credits scenes to have something really cool. It will be interesting to see how things change with James Gunn at the helm; he’s off to a solid start.

Fantasy Month (2026) – Pirates of the Caribbean

For Fantasy Month (2026), I wanted to go back and watch the Pirates of the Caribbean films because I have not seen all of them. I remember when the first movie was announced, I had my concerns. Film adaptations of video games have rarely gone well, so an adaptation of an amusement ride also seemed like a risky decision. However, in this case it paid off … big time!

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise became a huge success and one of Johnny Depp’s most iconic roles. This franchise is also one of Hans Zimmer’s most iconic scores. The special effects of all of these films are another thing that really stands out in this franchise.

There are no bonus movies or a random selection this time. The special event movies consist of 42 for Jackie Robinson Day and Star Trek: First Contact for First Contact Day.
