As the New Year officially gets underway, several highly-anticipated movies are even closer to opening in theaters.

While some movies are holdovers from 2013 that had openings delayed for one reason or another, others are sequels in highly successful franchises. Several are films that are entirely new to audiences and could bring in big box office numbers purely because of their star power or original concepts.

Enstars has compiled a list of 14 movies to get excited about in 2014:

1. That Awkward Moment: This comedy centers around three 20-something guy friends who all find themselves at that awkward point in a relationship where they need to decide where exactly its going, and if they're ready to make the commitment to take things further. It stars Zac Efron in a raunchier role then fans are used to, as well as indie breakout star Miles Teller and Fruitvale Station star, Michael B. Jordan. It opens in theaters Jan. 31.

2. The Monument's Men: This biographical drama is about World War II soldiers tasked with recovering art pieces stolen by Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It was originally slated for a 2013 release, which would make it eligible for the 2014 Awards season, but director George Clooney wanted to take more time to make the film perfect.
