This year’s TIFF certainly has a loaded playlist and I’m starting to consider just bucking up and attending, but we’ll see if those dreams actually come into fruition. The event will launch with their opening night film The Fifth Estate, the Wikileaks feature starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Also included in the Gala Presentations, there is the much anticipated August: Osage County with Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, Kill Your Darlings which premiered at Sundance with Daniel Radcliffe and Dane Dehaan, Justin Chadwick‘s Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom starring Idris Elba and Jonathan Teplitzky‘s The Railway Man starring Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman.

In the Special Presentations department, we have Cannes Palme D’or winner Blue is the Warmest Color, Steve McQueen‘s 12 Years a Slave, Dallas Buyers Club starring Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, Alfonso Cuarón‘s Gravity with George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, Prisoners starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal, Jonathan Glazer‘s Under the Skin with Scarlett Johansson,  Devil’s Knot with Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon, Dom Hemingway starring Jude Law, Jim Jarmusch‘s Only Lovers Left Alive and Asghar Farhadi‘s The Past.

Take a look at the full list below.
