This star-studded film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit Broadway musical Cats is the perfect Christmas Day flick — that is, if you can get over the weird "digital fur technology" used to cat-ify the cast.

 "Bombshell" follows the real-life events surrounding the resignation of Fox News CEO Roger Ailes. He stepped down after Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron), Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman), and other women accused him of sexual harassment.

Greta Gerwig finally put her stamp on the Little Women series and nailed it with the casting. Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Timothée Chalamet, and Florence Pugh bring the perfect mix of joy and depression that makes for a very emotional Christmas Day.

There’s always gotta be a war film. Benedict Cumberbatch and Colin Firth star in this WWI movie about soldiers entering enemy territory in order to save thousands of their own men.

Based on a true story, Just Mercy follows Michael B. Jordan (YAS) as a lawyer who fights to free a wrongfully accused man (played by Jamie Foxx) on death row for the murder of an 18-year-old girl. We’ll just be over here, imagining MBJ getting loud in a courtroom, his muscles visibly tense under a suit jacket as he gets more and more sexily indignant.

Catch Will Smith and Tom Holland voicing a spy and a nerdy tech officer, respectively, in this cute Christmas Day release. Spies in Disguise follows the "world's best spy" after he's turned into a pigeon (yes, a pigeon) and must rely on his tech officer for help.
