4. "5 to 7"

Synopsis: "Outside the Manhattan St. Regis Hotel, aspiring young writer Brian (Anton Yelchin) first meets Arielle (Bérénice Marlohe), the sophisticated wife of a French Diplomat. Though she's older, married, and the mother of two, Brian can't help but be drawn to her and the two begin a cinq-a-sept affair. It's a clash with his traditional values and his parents (Frank Langella and Glenn Close) can barely handle the news, but Brian couldn't be more smitten. As the two fall deeper in love, Brian begins to wish for more than just the hours of five to seven and soon the two must face the most significant decision of their lives."

Who's in it: Anton Yelchin, Berénice Marloh, Frank Langella, and Glenn Close

5. "Boulevard"

Synopsis: "What starts as an aimless drive down an unfamiliar street turns into a life-altering decision for the curious Nolan Mack (Robin Williams). For many years, Nolan and his wife Joy (Kathy Baker) have embraced their marriage as a convenient distraction from facing reality. When he meets a troubled young man named Leo (Roberto Aguire) on his drive home, Nolan finds himself breaking from the confines of his old life."

Who's in it: Robin Williams, Kathy Baker, Bob Odenkirk
Why to see it: It's not too often you see Williams outside of a comedic role. Director Dito Montiel's last film, "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints" won the Special Jury Prize at Sundance.

6. "The Bachelor Weekend"

Synopsis: "A very modern groom-to-be reluctantly agrees to a bachelor weekend with his urbane friends, wild camping in the great outdoors of the west of Ireland. To their horror they are joined by the bride's unpredictable brother, an alpha male known as "The Machine" whose explosive personality and wild leadership takes them on a journey they'll never forget."

Who's in it: Andrew Scott, Brian Gleeson, Amy Huberman
Why to see it: Think "Bridesmaids" for men. If you tune into "Sherlock," you'll recognize Scott who plays Jim Moriarty on the BBC series, and he's enough to sell us over on this comedy.

7. "Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon"

Synopsis: "Mike Myers brings a comic touch to documenting the astounding career of consummate Hollywood insider Shep Gordon. Making playful use of archival footage, new interviews, and his own close relationship with the legendary talent manager, Myers reveals a man who has embraced his dualities: a hard-driving dealmaker who wants everyone to be happy and a rock 'n' roll hedonist who yearns for a family."

Why to see it: This film not only marks Mike Myer's directorial debut, but also gives an inside look at Gordon who has worked with artists in the music industry and helped create the idea of the "celebrity chef."

8. "This Time Next Year"

Synopsis: The documentary follows the residents of Long Beach Island, New Jersey for the year after Hurricane Sandy.

9. 1971

Synopsis: "On March 8, 1971 eight ordinary citizens broke into an FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania, a town just outside Philadelphia, took hundreds of secret files, and shared them with the public.
