The fall movie season is unofficially underway as of this weekend, and that means it's time for us to wrap up our fall movie preview. All week, we've been sharing our top picks across different categories.

Today, we're doing something different, and showcasing our six most highly anticipated fall movies of any kind. And wouldn't you know it – there's a little something here for everyone, whether you favor romance, comedy, drama, adventure, or what have you.

Here's your autumn to-do list if you just want to see the best of the best ...

... and you're eager to see a rising star: The Florida Project (October 6)

Make that two rising stars, actually. Both Brooklynn Prince and Bria Vinaite were unknowns when they landed the leads in The Florida Project, but their names should be all over the place as soon as this film opens. The pair play a daughter-mother duo living in a run-down motel on the outskirts of Orlando – just a short drive from the Disney resorts, but a world apart.

... and you like weird: The Killing of a Sacred Deer (October 27)

Something just feels offabout this movie, even if we can't quite put our finger on why. But we can't resist the temptation to find out, even if we know this journey's gonna take us through some messed-up shit. Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman cap off what's already been a very good year for both, starring as a couple whose lives are upended by a teenage boy (Dunkirk's Barry Keoghan) with sinister intentions.

... and you're in the mood for love: Call Me By Your Name (November 24)

Nothing quite replicates the heady rush of first love, but Call Me By Your Namemight come close – it's that swoon-worthy. Timothée Chalamet puts in a breakout performance as a young man navigating his sexual coming-of-age over the course of a fateful summer, and Armie Hammer is arresting as the slightly older man who becomes the object of his affections. Call Me By Your Namewill thrill you and it will devastate you, and when it's all over, you'll be glad it happened.

... and you're a fan of The Room: The Disaster Artist (December 1)

Like The Roomdirector Tommy Wiseau, whom he plays in The Disaster Artist, James Franco has taken it upon himself to star in and direct a passion project. Unlike Wiseau, he's come up with a so-good-it's-good movie instead of a so-awful-it's-great one. It probably helps that Franco's got a deep bench of established stars to help – including his brother, Dave Franco, who plays Greg Sestero of "oh hi Mark" fame.

... and fairy tales enchant you: The Shape of Water (December 8)

The Shape of Wateris a Cold War romance starring Sally Hawkins as a mute cleaner who works in a lab, and Doug Jones as the mysterious sea creature she falls for. It's a strange concept that'd probably fall apart in most filmmakers' hands – but leave it to Guillermo del Toro to tease out what's dark and enchanting and even sexy about this fairy-tale premise.

... and you like Star Wars: The Last Jedi (December 15)

Where do we even begin? We'll jump at any chance to reunite with our new old friends Finn, Rey, Poe, and BB-8, to visit new worlds in our favorite galaxy far, far away, to discover some fantastic new creatures ... and, of course, to say goodbye to our beloved space princess turned Resistance general.
