Top 5 Movies for September 2026

My favorite genre is thriller/true crime, but for this month I added a few wholesome movies to the list. Hope you enjoy it. 

  1. Secret Obsession (2019)

This movie stars Brenda Song as a woman named Jennifer who wakes up from a coma after a brutal attack. She wakes up to a man who claims to be her husband. As she slowly regains her memories, she realizes that the man is not who he says he is and that she has to do something to escape her kidnapper. I picked this movie because I love thriller and crime movies, and this is one of the best of the genre.

  1. Home (2015)

This movie is so wholesome and fun for the whole family, and I picked it because it’s one of my favorites to watch with my mom.. This movie follows a clumsy alien, Oh(Jim Parsons), who is running away from the law after he commits a terrible mistake. He teams up with a little girl, Tip(Rihanna), who is on the search for her mother, who was taken by Oh’s fellow aliens to an island.  

  1. How It Ends (2018)

Another amazing thriller movie, with a twist. This movie follows a young couple, Will and Sam. Will plans to ask Sam’s father, Tom, for her hand in marriage, but after an argument, he leaves without mentioning the wedding or that they were expecting a child. The next day, Sam calls Will, but after a weird noise, she realizes something is wrong before the phone cuts out. News reports say things are going bad, and Will and Tom agree to take a journey to find Sam. But it’s not that simple. 

  1. The Good Nurse (2022)

One of the best True Crime movies out there, and I am a true crime fanatic. This movie is about Charles Cullen, a serial killer who is hired to help Amy, who is a single mother trying to save money for a heart transplant. She and Charles quickly become friends, until a patient under their care suddenly dies and she notices that she had insulin in her system, despite being non-diabetic. When other patients start dying, she starts to question who Charles Cullen really is. 

  1. Passengers (2016)

I chose this movie because I love a good sci-fi love story. It’s about Jim (Chris Pratt), who wakes up on a ship 100 years too early, and after a few years of isolation, he gets up the courage to force a girl, Aurora (Jennifer Lawrence), who is also asleep, to wake up so he is not alone. They fall in love and enjoy each other’s company until she finds out what she did.
