It's hard to decide what to see when you want to go to the theater. Let Popdust help you.

Every weekend in the summertime, movies we have been primed for over the last 6 months are finally here. There some great films, so check out the top five movie trailers. Then take a look at the full list of releases this weekend.

1. DUNKIRK

It has little dialogue and puts the situation as one you experience with the characters. It is meant to be a journey that challenges film making. Could this be Christopher Nolan's best movie to date? It has an original take on a story we know only too well, such as the Steven Spielberg classic Saving Private Ryan.

"It places you so absolutely in the situation of conflict — you don't learn the details of characters' backstories or even their surnames, you just see how this group reacts in this situation, make it a nail-biting encounter," Branagh explained... [ Read More about Dunkirk.]

Director: Steven C. Miller | Stars: Bruce Willis, Hayden Christensen, Ty Shelton

4. Girls Trip

When four lifelong friends travel to New Orleans for the annual Essence Festival, sisterhoods are rekindled, wild sides are rediscovered, and there's enough dancing, drinking, brawling, and romancing to make the Big Easy blush.

R | 2h 2min | Comedy | Get Tickets for Girls Trip

Director: Malcolm D. Lee | Stars: Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith

5. The Midwife

A midwife gets unexpected news from her father's old mistress.

"Really all we need is the sight of Catherine Deneuve smoking a cigarette, offering whisky, and saying lines such as, "You're getting prettier every day. But that raincoat has to go" and we're going to see the movie no matter what. But in the new movie from Martin Provost, Deneuve's on-screen majesty has a proper counterpart in Catherine Frot, as the two women reconnect after a 30-year separation." — Arno

Unrated | 1h 57min | Drama | Get Tickets for THE MIDWIFE

Director: Martin Provost | Stars: Catherine Deneuve, Catherine Frot, Olivier Gourmet, Quentin Dolmaire
