With biopics, adaptations, sequels, remakes, and a Nazi zombie thriller (yes, you read that right), there's no shortage of good films coming to theatres this month. Here are the 13 movies totally worth the price of a ticket this November.
Mr. Robot's Rami Malek stars in this Queen biopic, which follows the band's meteoric rise to fame and the inspiration behind some of their greatest hits.

Everyone knows the classic "steal from the rich, give to the poor" tale, but we guarantee you've never seen it told like this.
