9. Battle Of The Sexes (94%)

Predicted Critical Consensus: "A riveting slice of history driven by awards-worthy performances from Emma Stone and Steve Carell, Battle of the Sexes is a rare sports movie that avoids cliche and boasts a strong, beating heart at its core."

Likely to be a major player in next year's Oscar race, it'd be a huge surprise if Battle of the Sexes, which depicts the legendary 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, wasn't one of the year's best reviewed films.

From what's been shown off so far, Emma Stone is surprisingly convincing as the more homely-looking King, and Carell is set to prove once again that he has a lot more to offer than audiences might expect.
