The first chapter of the 2026 cinematic year proved to be quite impressive. Not only has the box office been at its healthiest level since 2019, but the quality of the movies has been pretty high on the whole. Can the second half keep all of this momentum for (*Vin Diesel voice*) the movies going? TBD, but with the deep roster of guaranteed hits and buzzy titles from beloved directors that are slated to arrive from July-December, it feels pretty safe to say that it will. Below, you'll find a complete list of every 2026 I've seen so far ranked from worst to best (w/grades) along with a whole host of mid-year awards. Hope you enjoy.
