1. Short term 12

Dr. Alice Howland (Julianne Moore) is a renowned linguistics professor at Columbia University. When words begin to escape her and she starts becoming lost on her daily jogs, Alice must come face-to-face with a devastating diagnosis: early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

4. About Time
When Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) is 21, his father (Bill Nighy) tells him a secret: The men in their family can travel through time. Although he can't change history, Tim resolves to improve his life by getting a girlfriend. Very cute and Rachel McAdams is in it!

Track coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) is a newcomer to a predominantly Latino high-school in California's Central Valley.
