Serenity, definitely. And Goblet of Fire, but that's only a must-see because I am heavily involved in the HP fandom, and not because I expect it to be a really great movie. I do expect to enjoy it, though.
I will also be seeing H2G2, and possibly Star Wars. Haven't decided yet on the latter, though I suspect I will give in and go.

Gunner Palace The Ring Two* Sin City The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy* Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith* Batman Begins* Charlie & The Chocolate Factory The Fantastic Four Indiana Jones 4* Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride* Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire* The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe* King Kong* Aeon Flux*
* means it's must see, no * means I'd like to see it.
Is seeing a list of "must-see" movies done for a different reason than entertainment? Like, doesn't the purpose become more to "collect" the movie and even possess the franchise? Do you really enjoy the movie half as much as enjoy having seen it?
One of the ladies in my department took last week off and saw 19 movies at the Sundance Film Festival. That's two or three movies a night for about seven days. She came in about halfway through the week and looked exhausted. I really think she was doing it more to have a sense of possession of the festival, and not as much to see a bunch of interesting films.
I think I go to see some movies to own them and set them aside. They are highly anticipated, people are talking about them, and they really do seem "must-see." So I go see them, and after that, all the buzz doesn't get me agitated anymore. After the stress of waiting for tickets and all the anticipation, the websites, the trailers, and the talk, watching the movie is anticlimactic. But once I've seen it, I can set it aside and not worry about it anymore.
Most movies don't even become entertainment until I rent them and watch them because I want to watch a movie that evening.

Serenity. And I also have been wanting to see Ghost in the Shell 2 for ages, so it's likely I'll see it this year.

Everything else is optional, although the chances are very high that I will see Hitchiker's, if it's good. Harry Potter is the only that I will whether it is good or not.

I just don't get why they didn't go ahead and use Gordon Sumner as Constantine. He's not *that* old. I mean, look at Sean Connery.

Speaking of movies, did anybody else know that Ebert added "Groundhog Day" to his Great Movies list? Read the article here.Posts: 722 | Registered: Jul 2004

Hey, who needs good acting or good plots when you've got light sabres!
Lucas obviously understands this, each movie he increases the amount of light sabres we get to see.
I expect with the third episode, Lucas will get rid of useless attempts at character development and make the entire thing one huge light sabre battle with a few million people partaking. It will be interrupted only for HIL-LARIOUS moments of comedy from Jar-jar and the flamboyantly gay android.

the increase of light saber duels only worked while increasing the quality of the choreography. The Duel of the Fates was awesome (thank you, Ray Park) but it appears that we won't have anything quite that cool again, unless Park got asked back.
Still holding out hope that we weill see a return to the badass Kenobi of episode 1 rather than the whiny worrywort that gets taken down by the guy who was the basis for all the stormtroopers ( I mean, are there any worse shots in the galaxy? besides Sandpeople, I mean...) that episode 2 left us with.

A Scanner Darkly and Batman (not because I like the franchise, but because it looks awesome) for sure. I can't really think of anything else off the top of my head, though I'm sure there will be others.

I forgot about Narnia. Of course I'll be seeing that.
And did they really make Indy 4? I remember hearing that they were talking about it, but somehow missed the news that it was a given. I'll go if the reviews are good, otherwise I'll rent it.
Finally, I cannot believe I forgot about FFVII: Advent Children. Yup, will be seeing that, though I have to finish playing the game first. *wanders off to google for release dates*

I guess that's probably my list, too. Though I may send him off to see Sin City with the guys, and stay home to watch A Walk on the Moon or Hidalgo.

I'm going to see Star Wars III. I'm also pre-apologizing to myself and every other real Star Wars fan.

Batman Begins is seriously shaping up to be a comic book movie that one can actually take seriously. When you first see the trailers, you don't even know it's Batman, you just think, "Wow, this looks pretty interesting," and then WHAM! Batman.
Very well done. Not like the others.

Well the only movie I really care about is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. A quick question whats all the fuss with Serenity about? Is that the movie based on the canceled TV show? I've never seen the show (I lived in Japan for 4 years).

He flew around the world and turned back time by reversing the rotation of the earth. That's enough to consign Superman I to the trash heap of movie history. The scene is so bad that I keep forgetting about it and getting outraged all over again when I remember it.
In part two, which could have been great, the Kryptonians suddenly got teleportation, telekinises, and a cellophane throwing weapon of some kind.
