Untouchable
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 are just some of the huge movies that we can expect to see hit the big screen on the run in to Christmas.
But are you tired of the big budget blockbuster? If so FemaleFirst has put together a guide of some of the hidden movie gems that you should try and catch over the next few weeks.
- Untouchable
There is no movie more talked about and applauded this summer than Untouchable - a movie which sees Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano in the director's chair.
This heart-warming and uplifting tale of friendship and is based on a fascinating true story.
Untouchable is a comedy about a millionaire quadriplegic and his relationship with his ex-con carer. It follows the unlikely but incredibly moving friendship that develops between them.
Untouchable has overtaken Amélie in the global box office chart as the most theatrically viewed French-language picture in history outside of France.
There are already Oscar whispers surrounding this movie and don't be surprised if it waltzes off with the Best Foreign Language Film at the beginning of next year.
Untouchable is released 21st September.
- On The Road
Kristen Stewart returns to the big screen this autumn with a new project that is different to anything that we have ever seen her in before.
It is perhaps the most risque role for the actress so far as she tries to move away from The Twilight Saga and the character of Bella Swan.
Directed by Walter Salles the movie is a big screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac's novel and sees the actress team up with Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley and Kirsten Dunst.
Just after his father's death, Sal Paradise, an aspiring New York writer, meets Dean Moriarty, a devastatingly charming ex-con, married to the very liberated and seductive Marylou.
Sal and Dean bond instantly. Determined not to get locked in to a constricted life, the two friends cut their ties and take to the road with Marylou.
Thirsting for liberty, the three young people head off in search of the world, of other encounters, and of themselves.
On The Road is released 12th October.
- Rust & Bone
Another movie that is being praised left, right and centre if Rust & Bone - which sees Oscar winner Marion Cotillard lead the cast.
And Cotillard could be on the road to winning a second Best Actress gong as she delivers another knockout performance in the Jacques Audiard directed movie.
This is a meaty role for Cotillard and co-star Matthias Schoenaerts to get their teeth in as they play two characters who try to find redemption in each other.
Stephanie (Cotillard) is a killer whale trainer who late one night meets Alain (Schoenaerts) in a fracas at the nightclub where he works as a bouncer.
Put in charge of his young son, Alain has come from Belgium to Antibes to live with his sister and her husband as a family.
Alain’s bond with Stephanie grows deeper after she suffers a horrible accident, bringing the two together once more.
If there is one movie that you do not miss this autumn then make sure that is Rust and Bone and it promises to be one of the most powerful and moving movies of the year.
Rust and Bone is released 2nd November.
- Ruby Sparks
If quirky movies are your thing then look no further than Ruby Sparks as this promises to be a charming and slightly off the wall watch.
Paul Dano is one of the most versatile actors of his generation - not to mention he is an exciting actor as well - and he reunites with the producers of Little Miss Sunshine for this movie.
Calvin (Dano) is a young novelist who achieved phenomenal success early in his career but is now struggling with his writing - as well as his romantic life.
Finally, he makes a breakthrough and creates a character named Ruby who inspires him.
When Calvin finds Ruby (Kazan), in the flesh, sitting on his couch about a week later, he is completely flabbergasted that his words have turned into a living, breathing person.
Ruby Sparks is released 12th October.
- The Perks Of Being A Wallflower
There is no movie that looks more charming and uplifting this autumn than The Perks Of Being A Wallflower - a big screen adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's novel.
And Chbosky has adapted his own novel into a screenplay as well as makes his directorial debut with the project.
But what is so exciting about this movie is the cast as it brings together some of the brightest young talent currently working in Hollywood as Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller star.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a modern classic that captures the dizzying highs and crushing lows of growing up.
This is a moving tale of love, loss, fear and hope-and the unforgettable friends that help us through life.

- Beasts Of The Southern Wild
Benh Zeitlin makes his big screen directorial debut later this year with the highly anticipated Beasts Of The Southern Wild.

In a forgotten but defiant bayou community cut off from the rest of the world by a sprawling levee, a six-year-old girl exists on the brink of orphanhood.
