THE 11 MOVIES YOU MUST SEE IN FEBRUARY 2016

These movies are all you need to have a good time for all weekends in February 2016

The weekend is approaching again…for many of us this means early mornings in front of the TV or our Laptops watching movies. You’ve rented a couple of movies already but as we all know it can be tough to make decisions on what to watch. You’ve decided to visit RottenTomatoes.com to check the movie ratings but then you remember that some of the movies you’ve seen before that you had expected to score below 30% had a RottenTomatoes score of above 70% [yeah, that’s typical of Oscar movies] while those ones you expected to score above 70% had less than 30% score [mostly beautiful comedy movies].

Don’t worry, we’ve made it easy for you. We’ve rounded up a selection of must-watch movies this weekend from a wide variety of genres. I know they say movie trailers can be quite misleading sometimes, but you don’t have anything to worry about because we’ve seen all these movies and can tell you from first-hand experience that they are really nice and they all have great story lines. In no particular order, here are the Top 11 movies you should see. Enjoy!
