Here are 10 movies to fill your weekend.

Toy Story 5: Pixar's summer comeback
Pixar is back with the sequel we were waiting for, or had stopped waiting for, depending on your mood. Woody, Buzz, and the whole gang. If you grew up with them, you are going regardless. And if you have kids, you have no excuse. For the skeptics: Pixar has proven it can still make a room full of adults cry in 90 minutes.

De Gaulle: Freedom, the French historical drama of the summer
The sequel to Antonin Baudry's film was moved up to June 26 to coincide with the Fete du Cinema. Part 1 was solid, tense, and well researched. Part 2 picks up with De Gaulle in the thick of the Resistance. The kind of film rarely made in France about this period, and one that deserves a big screen.

Supergirl: DC tries for a fresh start in theaters
DC attempts a fresh start with this film directed by Craig Gillespie, the same director behind I, Tonya. On paper, an indie director moving to blockbusters can go either way, brilliant or a total mess. At 5 euros, you are allowed to be curious without much risk.

License to Demolish: the French comedy of the summer
A family, a house, a demolition project, and all the chaos that comes with it. The kind of film too quickly labeled feel-good, but which, when done well, holds a theater for two hours without straining. Best watched with people in a good mood.

Backrooms: the horror movie inspired by internet folklore
A sci-fi horror film inspired by internet urban legends. Endless yellow hallways, buzzing fluorescent lights, a very particular kind of dread.
