14 Summer 2016 Films You Aren't Excited About (But Should Be)

There's more to look forward to than just superheroes, believe it or not.

Historically, summer is always THE time of year for big movies. It's a surprising trend in some ways; after all, this is the time of year when the sun's out, and we're all supposed to be out there getting some air and vitamin D, throwing frisbees, having barbecues and so forth. And yet, it's the time of year when we typically get the most to choose from at the cinema.

All that having been said, the days in which the major blockbusters were exclusively reserved for the summer time (and/or Christmas) are long gone; one need look no further than the March release of Batman V Superman for evidence of that. As such, while there are plenty of mega-budget studio tentpole movies to look forward to in the months ahead, there's also a whole lot of other stuff on offer that warrants our attention.

So while we're all geared up for the likes of Captain America: Civil War, X-Men: Apocalypse, Independence Day: Resurgence, Suicide Squad and the Ghostbusters reboot, let's not forget these aren't the only big screen treats waiting for us between now and the end of August.

Here are 14 others which so far people don't seem to be talking about so much (some less hyped would-be blockbusters among them), which may well be worth a look when they hit cinemas.
