(Streaming services may offer their own familiar comforts\u2014and a slew of new options this month\u2014but still, there\u2019s something to be said for the big screen.) Whether you\u2019re looking for a feel-good comedy, some scintillating Oscar bait, or an action-packed blockbuster, this year, the cinema is less focused on holiday-themed fare (which might be a good thing, given how you\u2019ll likely be bombarded with yuletide cheer at almost all other moments as December comes to an end) than good old-fashioned entertainment. Here, we took everything coming out in the next few weeks that\u2019s worth knowing about, and distilled the list to the nine new movies to see this holiday season:<\/p>\n<p><strong>December 15<\/strong><br \/><em><strong>Star Wars: The Last Jedi<\/strong><\/em><br \/>The second installment in the current <em>Star Wars<\/em> trilogy sees Daisy Ridley returning as Rey, along with John Boyega as Finn, Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, and the late, beloved Carrie Fisher.

Barnum from director Michael Gracey, with Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, Zac Efron, and Zendaya, with music from the songwriters behind the hit Broadway show <em>Dear Evan Hansen<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle<\/strong><\/em><br \/>A stand-alone sequel to the beloved \u201990s Robin Williams flick <em>Jumanji<\/em>, the new make stars Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, and Bobby Cannavale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>December 22<\/strong><br \/><em><strong>Downsizing<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Alexander Payne\u2019s controversial satire conjures a world where people can be shrunk to a few centimeters tall and live in tiny artificial communities that use up less of the world\u2019s resources.
