Top 3 All-Time Releases (for every month of the year)

So I was sitting here thinking about original movie release dates (I know… sounds weird, but that stuff happens with me.). I started wondering what was released on my birthday. Turns out there was only one: Jing we men (Yeah I’ve never heard of it either). Some releases are interesting, like . Clearly a Christmas movie, but it had an early June release. Similarly, came out in May.

Then I started wondering, “What is the greatest movie to ever come out in a given month of the year?” So below is what I’ve found. If you’re like me, you’ll probably go immediately to your birth month and see what’s there.

Here they are: The top 3 releases for every month of the year!

Congratulations This is your week.

Jessica Chastain as Molly Bloom in

Best Actor: Daniel Craig as James Bond in

Best Quote: “Lord… whatever I’ve done to piss you off… if you could just get me out of this and somehow let me know what it was I promise to rectify the situation.” – Mel Gibson as Maverick in

As for the greatest movie to come out on March 23, no matter the year, I believe the biggest one is Pretty Woman. For Joy’s birthday, March 30, it is Beetlejuice. For our anniversary, June 30, it would be a tie between Big and The Untouchables.
