1 Won’t You Be My Neighbor? (Opens Friday, June 8) Two words: Fred Rogers. Five more words: dare you not to cry.
2 Incredibles 2 (Opens Friday, June 15) Early whooping and hollering says Brad Bird has shaken the recent Pixar curse with a sequel to his snappy, nifty spy family comedy.
3 Under the Silver Lake (OPENING POSTPONED UNTIL DECEMBER) David Robert Mitchell goes bubblegum neo-noir in modern-day Los Angeles: “Long Goodbye” or “Southland Tales,” or, here’s hoping, a little of both as well as heaping handfuls of what his “It Follows” brought to the screen and left quivering in memory.
4 Chicago Underground Film Festival (Opens Friday, June 6-10) CUFF turns twenty-five, with special guests and other attractions from its termite-to-tastemaker history.
5 Movies In Millennium Park (All summer, starting June 5) Last summer, 20,000 filled the park under the stars to watch “La La Land”; June’s attractions, programmed by Chicago film festivals, include John Waters’ “Hairspray,” partnered with CUFF, “Mad Max: Fury Road,” via Chicago Critics Film Festival, “Kinky Boots” from Reeling and “Groundhog Day” with Chicago Comedy Film Festival.
