With 2019 in the rear view, its time make another arbitrary list that ranks movies in order that won’t hold up within a few months, with all the undated films sure to pop up out of nowhere. With that in mind, these rankings are not in any particular order.

“Tenet”

Christopher Nolan returns to the director’s chair for the first time since 2017’s

“Dunkirk,” and he looks to be crafting an “Inception”-esque action-thriller. John David Washington and Robert Pattinson are set to star in this film. Based on the trailer, I predict that the film will center on time-loops.

“No Time to Die”

99.9 percent sure that this is Daniel Craig’s final turn as James Bond (never say never) and based off the trailer, this film looks to be his best since 2012’s “Skyfall.” The film also sports a promising cast with Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch, Rami Malek and Lea Seydoux, the latter reprising her role from “Spectre” (2015).

“Dune”

I’d never heard of “Dune” before I read that Denis Villeneuve would be directing the film. Villeneuve’s directorial work on films like “Arrival” and “Blade Runner 2049” are some of the best of the 2010s, so I’m excited to see what he does here. Timothee Chalamet is set to star.

“Black Widow”

It’s been 10 years since filmgoers were first introduced to Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff a.k.a the Black Widow. It also feels like it’s been 10 years since talks about a movie starring the character began to surface. Well finally, on May 1, 2020, “Black Widow” will arrive in theaters and it’s sure to be a spy-thriller of marvelous proportions.

“Onward”

A Disney-Pixar film set to star Tom Holland, Chris Pratt and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I don’t know what else to say if you’re not intrigued. I’m not privy to the Disney empire either but Pixar films are almost required viewing at this point.

“Wonder Woman 1984”

D.C. films have been on a roll as of late with films like “Joker,”

“Shazam” and 2017’s “Wonder Woman.”

Speaking of which, the sequel is set to hit theaters in June and it promises to deliver some heavy-hits from the titular hero.

“Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn”

I promise that I’m not a huge fan of D.C. Comics-related content, however, the teaser material that has surrounded this film and Margot Robbie’s energetic portrayal of Harley Quinn in 2016’s “Suicide Squad” has me cautiously optimistic.

“Ghostbusters: Afterlife”

Will Finn Wolfhard ever not star in a horror film? Paul Rudd’s in this too? Plus, the trailer is surprisingly good, which I didn’t expect given my low-care-level for “Ghostbusters.”

“Soul”

The second Disney-Pixar film on this list. “Soul” is set to star Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey. I know that these films aren’t in any specific order (I promise), this movie is more anticipated for me than “Onward” is.

“The Photograph”

I’ve seen this trailer twice, on separate occasions, and both times I was intrigued. Issa Rae stars along with Lakeith Stanfield, who seems to be in nearly everything.
