June is always a great month for the movies as it is generally a very cold month. What could be nicer than cuddling up in a comfy movie seat, watching a new release, while pigging out on some warm popcorn!
This is a list of my top 15 picks for June 2018.
1. HEREDITARY
This will be released on 7th June. The spirit of a recently deceased matriarch haunts a loner teenage granddaughter in this movie starring Toni Collette.
This is classed as a "horror" movie, so will not be for all, however, it sounds interesting!
2. KODACHROMEThis film will be released on 7th June, 2018 at Luna Cinemas Leederville and Fremantle, as well as mainstream theatres.
It is about a recently divorced, struggling music executive on a downward spiral. His estranged father, Ben is a celebrated photographer and has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
After finding four rolls of Kodachrome film, Ben's dying wish is to drive cross-country to process the film at Dwayne's. Dwayne's is the last place in the world that still develops Kodachrome.
They then set out on this trip from New York to Kansas.

3. TEA WITH THE DAMESThis is a must watch movie especially for seniors and it will be released on 7th June at Reading Cinemas.
Every now and then four old friends, who are all actresses, meet up in the English countryside to gossip, to remember, and to laugh.
