Films You Are Anticipating

[TheDTrain]

David Lynch's Inland Empire
Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain
Richard Kelly's Southland Tales
Sam Mendes' Jarhead

I know, I'm obsessed, I'm one of those people who see movies either by director or tons of great reviews. :D
I'll think of more later.

Films out I didn't get to seeing yet:
Godard's Notre Musique
Like 10 more Godard movies
Fellini's Amarcord, last one of his big films not yet seen
Lynch's Mulholland Dr, I know, it's embrassing
Anything by Dario Argento
:(

[TheKillerPenguin]

I'm really looking forward to Jarhead.
Also: Apocolyptica (I didn't see passion of the christ, but Apocolyptica sounds intriguing)
V for Vendetta, and I'm PO'd that it got moved back to '06 :mad:
Walk the Line
The New World
Memoirs of a Geisha
Munich, and I'm hoping Speilberg doesn't make it so that the athletes actually lived in the end ;)

[Bibi]

'arry Potter.
Eragon.
I escort a young crowd...

For myself, anything with Bill Murray. My G, he is fabulous.

[snickersnicker]

[TheKillerPenguin]

[Karldar]

'arry Potter.
Eragon.

For myself, anything with Bill Murray. My G, he is fabulous.

I still need to read that....

Only thing I can think of right now is Batman Begins. Yes, I'm a little behind. Guess I'll be rentin' that one.

[TheDTrain]

Anyone else?

[Serpico]

saw Tokyo Story :beer:

looking forward to watching the rest of Yasujiro Ozu's (http://ozuyasujiro.com/news.htm/) films

[TheDTrain]

Sadly, I am very inexperienced in Japanese cinema, I've seen zero Ozu, zero Miike, and only Ran by Kurosawa.

[Serpico]

saw Takeshi Miike's Audition last week, wasn't impressed

you gotta check out Chungking Express if you haven't seen it, new wave hong kong film by Wong Kar Wai

Japanese films are new to me as well

[TheDTrain]

What is New Wave hong kong like?

I'm only familiar with original french new wave, but now there's so many new waves, they hardly seem new anymore.

[Stacey]

Saw2 & Charlie and The Chocolate Factory thru Netflix

[Karldar]

Kinda want to see Layer Cake, now. Read good things about it.

[gcasillo]

Miami Vice.

*takes his socks off and slips on some loafers*

[immortalem]

I am looking forward to the following films:

Walk the Line
Jarhead
Derailed
Rumor Has It
King Kong

[georgiaboy]

For any who are interested.

The Criterion Collection is releasing the collector's edition of Kirosawa's "Ran" (http://video.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?EAN=715515016827&userid=On0vIiUC5p&cds2Pid=1904&linkid=552739)

[KirkeIsWaiting]

Films out I didn't get to seeing yet:

Fellini's Amarcord, last one of his big films not yet seen
Lynch's Mulholland Dr, I know, it's embrassing
:(


Amarcord was delightful! yes!!!
Mulholland Drive, a classic!

[brokenrobot]

Another vote for Snakes on a Plane!

[TheDTrain]

Go Criterion, they need Jodorowsky though, the world needs Jodorowsky.

Hey Georgia, see anymore Jodo films since El Topo?

[georgiaboy]

Go Criterion, they need Jodorowsky though, the world needs Jodorowsky.

Hey Georgia, see anymore Jodo films since El Topo?

D, As far as El Topo goes I have shown it to a couple of my friends who have the same taste in movies and they loved it. I liked the way Jodorowsky used images and little dialogue. I have not seen any of his other films because I have been sinking every cent I have into the car I bought two months ago. However, I have seen Santa Sangre on ebay and Amazon. I have a backlog of movies to obtain after the first of the year.

I wonder if Criterion has considered releasing a Jodorowsky film? I am not sure of what the liscensing loopholes exist. You know, you should make a recommedation to Criterion about Jodorowsky. You would certainly represent him well. I found a contact person at Criterion to submit such a request if you like. Here is the link:

We rented last night for the first time in months. Came home with Animal and Hotel Rwanda. Watched [i]Animal[i] last night, it was pretty good.

[SpiderMike]

Jarhead
Walk The Line
Underworld: Evolution January 20th, 2006
King Kong
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (current date is July7,2006)
Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny
Ghost Rider (August 2006)

[$pec!@l!zedEp!c]

I saw Jarhead and thought it was great because i'm in the military and it felt realistic. There wasn't a lot of flashy Jerry Bruckheimer colors and not a lot of action but they focused a lot of how our soldiers feel and the BS they go through. Makes me appreciate being in the Air Force.

[AngryRooster]

King Kong
Tenacious D the pick of destiny
Superman returns
Munich
thats all I can think of this mintue..

[FastFreddy]

For the rest of this year:

Rent (based on the Broadway play)
The Libertine (Johnny Depp)
Syriana (about the global oil biz… with George Clooney)
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (visually impressive trailer)
Brokeback Mountain (sure to be controversial… Oscar buzz, even though few have seen it)
Memoirs of a Geisha (starring Ziyi Zhang)
King Kong (no explanation needed)
3 Burials of Melquiades Estrada (directed by Tommy Lee Jones!)
The Producers (based on the Broadway play)
Munich (Stephen Spielberg – about the ’72 Olympics)
The New World (John Smith, Pocahontas – trailer looks good)

[Karldar]

Looking forward to Jarhead now that I've heard more about it.

[kubrickian]

I've already seen it, but I want to watch Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly again...simply to see if they used any of the suggestions I wrote down after the screening.

[Karldar]

Saw a preview for Aeon Flux today...could be interesting.

[Gurgus]

Aeon Flux and Walk the Line.

[Karldar]

I wasn't sure about Walk The Line, but I think I'm looking forward to it. I think Joaquin Phoenix is a very good actor, but I'm worried about how the movie turned out. If it's relatively honest about Cash's life, I might be satisfied.

[FastFreddy]

Saw the trailer for King Kong – I’m not sure that it will be a great film but I feel confident that it will be very impressive visually. The CGI monkey himself looks very cool and there are lots of other monsters, plus exotic locations, etc. And it looks like a good role for Jack Black.

[neaolin]

Looking forward to Harry Potter.

[gcasillo]

Jesus, you think Hollywood is cramping up in the creative department?

Alien vs. Predator 2
Blair Witch 3: The Curse
The Brazilian Job (Italian Job)
The Butterfly Effect 2
Clerks 2: The Passion of the Clerks (actually add this one to the must sees)
Die Hard 4.0
Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (no, I didn't just make that up)
Meet the Little Focker
Mission: Impossible 3
Mrs. Doubtfire 2
Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest
Police Academy 8
Resident Evil: Afterlife
Rocky VI
Rush Hour 3
Sin City 2
Untouchables: The Capone Rising
X-Men 3

Having...hard...time...putting digits to keyboard to express my dismay at that list. That's just for 2006! One word comes to mind, and it's something you do with trash:

[pedex]

Kinda want to see Layer Cake, now. Read good things about it.

ya Layer Cake is worth seeing, I have it laying here, watched it twice

[pedex]

Looking forward to Jarhead now that I've heard more about it.

jarhead was ok, id give it 3/5 chainrings, there are better war flicks, its worth renting

[pedex]

Saw2 & Charlie and The Chocolate Factory thru Netflix

Saw 2 has got to be one fo the few sequels thats as good or better than the original, definitely see it, the screener was phenomenal

Im looking forward to the last of the Bourne trilogy myself, wish it would come out soon

Also wanna see "The Keymaster" if they ever make the damn thing, sheesh its taking awhile

[midgie]

Only 2 things I'm anticipating.

Deadwood season 3 March 06'

The big screen adaptation of "Speed Racer". They've been talking about it for 10yrs, so I'm not holding my breath

[Serpico]

Curious George rules, but I'm not sure if making this into a feature film is a good idea

Jarhead looks good (Sam Mendes :beer: )

King Kong looks okay

not sure what else is coming out, I usually don't know about films until they're already released

[SpokesInMyPoop]

fer moi, harry potter and rent.

I'm gonna try and get tickets for the midnight showing :D

[Serendipper]

Superman Returns preview tonight on tv's Smallville.
Team: Director: Brian Singer
Lex Luthor: Kevin Spacey
Music : John Williams
Jor-El : Marlon Brando

Should be worth checking out, Don't get it confused with the fake one that's going around.

[muccapazza]

Grizzly Man just came into town, have been looking forward to it for some time.

[pedex]

Grizzly Man just came into town, have been looking forward to it for some time.

Watched it a couple weeks ago, its ok, not what I expected, there are some neat scenes. The fox is way cool.

[FastFreddy]

For the rest of this year:

Rent (based on the Broadway play)
The Libertine (Johnny Depp)
Syriana (about the global oil biz… with George Clooney)
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (visually impressive trailer)
Brokeback Mountain (sure to be controversial… Oscar buzz, even though few have seen it)

The Producers (based on the Broadway play)
Munich (Stephen Spielberg – about the ’72 Olympics)
The New World (John Smith, Pocahontas – trailer looks good)
Having seen Rent, I regret putting it on my “most anticipated” list. Classic case of how not to adapt from stage to screen.

[Gurgus]

I wasn't sure about Walk The Line, but I think I'm looking forward to it. I think Joaquin Phoenix is a very good actor, but I'm worried about how the movie turned out. If it's relatively honest about Cash's life, I might be satisfied.


I saw it a couple nights ago and it was worth it. Very good film.

[Redrom]

I'm sad to say I'm not looking forward to any films about to be released. This is a big deal for me, because I've always been sooo into films. I can't tell if I've gotten older, have less money to spend, have kids/less time... or... if the movies just suck.

Back in the day I went to the theater multiple times a week. And when I went to make my 1996 top 10 list and ended up with a top 24 list because I just couldn't cut anything. Here 10 years later I can't think of 10 films I really want to see from this year. Just for kicks and giggles (and because I love getting flamed), it happens to be on this computer, so here it is...

1. Dead Man (Jim Jarmuch)
2. Breaking the Waves
3. Fargo
4. The People Vs. Larry Flint
5. Everone Says I Love You
6. Big Night
7. Sling Blade
8. Trainspotting
9. Twelth Night
10. City of Lost Children
11. Stealing Beauty
12. Swingers
13. Secrets & Lies
14. Lone Star
15.The English Patient
16. Ridicule (Foreign)
17. Flirting With Disaster-Funniest Film of the Year
18. Shine
19. Romeo & Juilet
20. Hamlet
21. Koyla
22. Looking for Richard
23. Mars Attack
24. Welcome to the Dollhouse

Now, I'm dying to find a film that came out this year that's as good as any listed here... BTW, that was ages ago... if I did the list now, they would be reordered to reflect that which had best stood the test of time...
