As of today, we're two weeks away from the big night and I'll bet you have a lot of catching up to do. Hell, I have a lot of catching up to do too. There are so many films it's easy to feel lost in the middle of space like Sandra Bullock in Gravity, but we've got your back. Almost every film is available to see right now. Most of what is available to can enjoy sitting your butt on your own comfortable couch. A few you'll have to brave the outside world for, but a few of those few are actually worth it.
