February is a real mix of movies from Oscar contenders to, animation, sci-fi, horror and comedy so to help you plan your movie diary FemaleFirst has earmarked some must see movies for next month.

After the disaster of Cassandra's Dream last year Woody Allen is back with an impressive cast of Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson and Oscar winner Javier Bardem in Vicky, Cristina Barcelona.

Two young Americans spend a summer in Spain and meet a flamboyant artist (Javier Bardem) and his beautiful but insane ex-wife (Penelope Cruz). Vicky (Rebecca Hall) is straight-laced and about to be married.

Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) is a sexually adventurous free spirit. When they all become amorously entangled, the results are both hilarious and harrowing.

It's a return to form for Allen with his new movie as this menage a trois is a sexy romp with some excellent performances, particularly Cruz who could pick up a Best Supporting Actress nod for her role.

Also hoping for Oscar glory is David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which sees him reunite with actor Brad Pitt.

An Adaptation of Scott Fitzgerald's short story The Curious Case of Benjamin Button follows a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards. The third project that Fincher and Pitt have worked on together the film is a grand tale if a not so ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the love he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.
