Top 10 Movies Released In September
Here we go...
Honorable Mention 1: Hellraiser(9/18/1987): The original Hellraiser, based on Clive Barker's novella. Getting some attention because of the reboot coming up. It ALMOST made the list, but a different horror film deserved the spot.
Honorable Mention 2: 50/50(9/30/2011): Seth Rogen movie based on the life of a friend of his who was hit with a life changing cancer diagnoses. Seth Rogen playing himself(technically). Joseph Gordon Levitt playing the cancer stricken friend. And it was a great movie.
10. Tenet(9/3/2020): John David Washington showing he is as smooth as his daddy, Denzel. A movie about a unique take on time travel. A bit confusion at times... but worth it. Also felt like Robert Pattinson's Batman audition.
9. Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs(9/18/2009): Cute animated movie about a genius who creates a machine that turns water into food, and it gets out of hand. Bill Hader... that is really all you need. But Anna Faris, Andy Samberg, and Mr. T all make this movie Great With A Chance Of Awesome.
8. The Good Son(9/24/1993): Macaulay Culkin playing a little psychopath trying to kill a little Elijah Wood. We get it... Frodo must die. But this was also in the era of Home Alone and Uncle Buck... and Culkin comes out swinging in this thriller. Child stardom can be cruel. Think of how Culkin would've turned out if he and the drugs hadn't found each other...
7. Rush Hour(9/18/1998): Jackie Chan is an action comedy legend. So pair him with the annoyingly voiced Chris Tucker. What would happen? Well... this was the start of an EPIC trilogy/franchise.
6. The Prophecy(9/1/1995): Christopher Walken as the Archangel Gabriel. Start of a franchise centered around an Angelic War. Elias Koteas as the detective caught in the middle of it. And Viggo Mortensen(pre-LOTR) as The Devil. THIS is the horror film that kept Hellraiser out as an Honorable Mention.
5. Dredd(9/21/2012): Reboot of the earlier Stallone movie. Karl Urban coming in as a younger Joseph Dredd. Never took his helmet off. Stayed true to the 2000 AD comics. And GORY!!! Not for the faint of Stomach. And I loved every bit of it.
4. To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar(9/8/1995): When you think of Wesley Snipes, you probably think of Blade. When you think of Patrick Swayze, you probably think of his kicking ass in Road House. When you think of John Leguizamo, you probably think of The Pest or Super Mario Bros or Ice Age. But what about the 3 of them together in a movie AS NYC drag queens driving across country to Hollywood for a "Miss Drag Queen of America" Pageant. Yeah. It is as funny as it sounds. Swayze and Leguizamo both got Golden Globe nominations for this movie. The perfect joke... but not implied.
3. The Last of the Mohicans(9/25/1992): I loved James Fenimore Cooper books when I was younger. They were big... they were interesting. And this is a pretty damn good adaptation. Plus, it introduced me to Daniel Day Lewis... and he may have won an Oscar or two.
2. IT(9/8/2017) & IT Chapter 2(9/6/2019): Remake of the classic Stephen King tryst. And I know not everyone agrees with me, but I like this version better. Solified Bill Hader as a star, showed the potential of Finn Wolfhard as a future star(playing the same character), shows that Andy Muschietti is careful with his work, and Bill Skarsgård can be whatever he wants to be in Hollywood(including The Crow, apparently).
And the Number 1 Movie Released In September Is...
1. Se7en(9/22/1995): A LEGENDARY film. One of Brad Pitt's best films. One of Morgan Freeman's best films. One of Kevin Spacey's best films. About an anonymous killer basing his murders on the seven deadly sins. One of the greatest thrillers in cinema history.
